REFRIGERATION
is a process of
transferring heat
from one substance to
another substance,
requires a chemical
coolant to undergo a
vapor-compression
cycle to perform
cooling.
Refrigeration Basics
PRINCIPLES OF HEAT TRANSFER
1) Heat energy can not be destroyed; it can only
be transferred.
2) Heat energy flows from Higher temperature
substances to Lower temperature substances.
3) Heat energy is transferred with one or more of
the following methods:
A.) Conduction
B.) Convection
C.) Radiation
