Basic Principles of Refrigeration
Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from a space or substance and transferring it to another. This section covers the fundamental laws of thermodynamics that govern refrigeration, including the first and second laws, and how they apply to heat transfer and energy efficiency in cooling systems.
- Heat Transfer Methods: Conduction, Convection, and Radiation.
- Refrigerants: Properties and types of substances used to absorb and release heat.
- Pressure-Temperature Relationship: Understanding how pressure affects the boiling point of refrigerants.
Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycle
The vapor compression cycle is the most common method of refrigeration. This section details the four main components and their roles in the continuous process of cooling.
- കംപ്രസർ: Increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant vapor.
- കണ്ടൻസർ: Rejects heat from the high-pressure, high-temperature vapor, causing it to condense into a liquid.
- Expansion Device (Metering Device): Reduces the pressure of the liquid refrigerant, causing it to flash into a mixture of liquid and vapor.
- ബാഷ്പീകരണം: Absorbs heat from the refrigerated space, causing the low-pressure liquid refrigerant to evaporate into a vapor.

Beyond the four primary components, various auxiliary parts are crucial for system efficiency, safety, and control. This section explores these additional elements.
| ഘടകം | ഫംഗ്ഷൻ |
|---|---|
| റിസീവർ | Stores excess liquid refrigerant. |
| ഫിൽട്ടർ-ഡ്രയർ | Removes moisture and contaminants from the refrigerant. |
| കാഴ്ച ഗ്ലാസ് | Allows visual inspection of refrigerant flow and condition. |
| അക്യുമുലേറ്റർ | Prevents liquid refrigerant from entering the compressor. |
| സമ്മർദ്ദ നിയന്ത്രണങ്ങൾ | Regulate system pressures for safe and efficient operation. |
Refrigerant Management and Safety
Proper handling of refrigerants is critical for environmental protection and personal safety. This section outlines best practices and regulatory considerations.
- Environmental Impact: Ozone depletion potential (ODP) and global warming potential (GWP) of various refrigerants.
- Safe Handling Procedures: Personal protective equipment (PPE), ventilation, and leak detection.
- Recovery and Recycling: Importance of proper refrigerant recovery to prevent atmospheric release.
Basic Troubleshooting Concepts
Understanding common refrigeration system issues and their potential causes is essential for effective diagnosis. This section provides an overview of basic troubleshooting methodologies.
സാധാരണ ലക്ഷണങ്ങളും സാധ്യതയുള്ള കാരണങ്ങളും:
- അപര്യാപ്തമായ തണുപ്പിക്കൽ: Low refrigerant charge, dirty coils, faulty compressor.
