    basic fridge question



    looking in a book for some reseach and i cant get my head around one thing


    if the refrigerant from the compressor comes out as high pressure high temp how does it loose enough heat to become a liquid again in the condenser coil?

    ie r22 boils off at -42c so anything below that its a liquid. Its got to be a liquid going into the evap right?

    so from compressor to evap inlet it can loose 50-60 degrees?

    basic i know i just cant grasp it


    many thanks

    Go right back to basics.

    At what temperature does water boil half way up Mount Everest?

    Now reconsider your refrigeration circuit pressures/temperatures.

    Actually two things:

    1. Boiling point changes with pressure. The higher the pressure, the higher the boiling point... and vice versa.

    2. Temperature (intensity of heat energy) and heat (amount of heat energy) are not the same thing.

    Mount everest height is 8850m.
    Half of that is 4425m.
    At that height barometric pressure is 59 kPa
    At that pressure water boils at 85,51°C! (CoolPack calculation of water saturation temperature).
    Easy, 5 min job with internet connection!

    But you need to use that gray thing between ears!

    if u know ur fridge stuff the refridgerent turns to liquid 1-2 3rds of the way thru the condenser there fore giving u subcooling it needs to change state cause dont forget basics it needs to dump heat

    Re: basic fridge question

    MY FRIEND ITS VERY EASY TO UNDERSTAND!
    INFACT ITS A PROPERTY OF REFRIGERANT WHICH IS BEING USED IN THAT SYSTEM ie (Boils at a very low temprature and pressure and rejects heat at a very high temprature and pressure) please stick on the ph chart form moderen refrigeration book. u can get whole u desire.
    thanks.
