    This chapter discusses refrigeration cycles including: - The reversed Carnot cycle which is the theoretical ideal refrigeration cycle. - The ideal vapor-compression refrigeration cycle which is more practical and widely used. It involves compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation processes. - Actual vapor-compression cycles factor in pressure drops and sub-cooling not considered in the ideal cycle. - Household refrigerators and heat pumps which both aim to transfer heat but in opposite directions using similar vapor-compression cycles.

    Refrigerators and Heat Pumps


    The objective of a refrigerator
    is to remove heat (QL) from the
    cold medium; the objective of a
    heat pump is to supply heat
    (QH) to a warm medium
    The performance of refrigerators and
    heat pumps is expressed in terms of
    coefficient of performance (COP),
    defined as : -

    Thus; COPHP = COPR + 1

    The cycle is difficult to be


    built in practice.
    Especially process 2-3
    and 4-1
    The reversed Carnot Cycle is the standard of
    comparison for the refrigeration cycles

    Ideal Vapor Compression Ref. Cycle


    The most widely used
    refrigeration cycle is the vapor-
    compression refrigeration cycle.
    In an ideal vapor-compression
    refrigeration cycle, the
    refrigerant enters the compressor
    as a saturated vapor and is
    cooled to the saturated liquid
    state in the condenser. It is then
    throttled to the evaporator
    pressure and vaporizes as it
    absorbs heat from the
    1-2 : Isentropic compression in a compressor refrigerated space.
    2-3 : Constant pressure heat rejection in a condenser
    3-4 : Throttling in an expansion device
    4-1 : Constant pressure heat absorption in an evaporator
