refrigeration technologies

Refrigeration technologies work by removing heat from an enclosed space to keep things cool. This is typically achieved through a cycle involving a refrigerant fluid that absorbs heat as it evaporates and releases heat as it condenses. A compressor pressurizes the refrigerant, increasing its temperature, then a condenser cools it down, turning it back into a liquid. An expansion device allows the liquid to expand and evaporate, absorbing heat from the surroundings. This continuous process keeps the interior of refrigerators, air conditioners, and other cooling devices at lower temperatures, preventing spoilage and maintaining comfort effectively and efficiently.
