Principles of refrigerator

Refrigeration is to maintain a lower temperature than the surrounding temperature. In order to do this, an insulated enclosure, heat absorber, and a cycle for phase transition of a refrigerant (evaporation ¡æ compression ¡æ condensation ¡æ expansion) are necessary.

When alcohol is rubbed on skin, it takes away the heat by evaporation. This cooling effect is the principle of refrigerators.




Structure of refrigerator


In the early days of refrigerators, the direct cooling method was adopted, but the indirect cooling method has become universal these days.
