How a Refrigerator Works

● The refrigerator compressor generates kinetic energy to drive the entire refrigeration cycle of the refrigerator.

● Refrigerant runs to the refrigerator condenser to dissipate heat and prepare for throttling evaporation.

● The refrigerant evaporates in the evaporator to absorb the heat inside the refrigerator, and the refrigerator achieves refrigeration.

What are a Refrigerator’s Components?

Now we show you the components that are used in the working of the refrigerator.

Refrigerator Compressor

A refrigerator compressor provides power to the whole refrigerator system and there are many brands of compressors, such as Secop, Embrace, LG, HUAYI, etc.

A refrigerator compressor is a hermetic design, the internal contains a piston, cylinder, and motor.

The compressor piston is driven by the motor to achieve up and down movement, the movement of the compressor piston is similar to the up and down movement of a pump.

This process compresses the refrigerant and provides power to the whole refrigerator.

Refrigerator Condenser

The main role of the refrigerator condenser is to eliminate the heat generated by the refrigerator compressor compressing refrigerant.

Therefore, when you touch the refrigerator with your hand, the part that gets hot is the refrigerator condenser. The refrigerator condenser is usually located at the back and sides of the refrigerator.

Refrigerator condenser types include wire tube, shutter type, plate and tube, spiral fin, and so on.

Each type of condenser has a different performance and efficiency, which is mainly determined by the design of the refrigerator manufacturer.

Refrigerator Evaporator

The main role of the refrigerator evaporator is to transfer the cold air produced by the refrigerant expansion to the food inside the refrigerator.

This is a key step, the coldness of the refrigerator mainly comes from the evaporator. Open the refrigerator door, you can see their outline inside the refrigerator.

Refrigerator evaporator types include roll bond, bonding type, wire tube, and fin type.

If you can see it directly inside the refrigerator, it is usually the wire tube type.
