Simple compression refrigeration circuit

The purpose of a refrigeration system is the cooling of materials by removing heat from the environment. This simplified model explores the fundamental thermodynamic cycle of compression refrigeration.

• fundamentals of refrigeration in a simplified model
• typical compression refrigeration system with piston compressor and expansion valve
• evaporator and condenser in the shape of pipe coils
• 2 manometers with temperature scale for high and low pressure sides
• 2 water-filled tanks with thermometers for demonstrating thermal effects
• sight glass to monitor refrigerant state
• refrigerant R513A, GWP: 631
