4 Component Flow

The document describes the basic components and flow of a refrigeration system including: - A compressor, condenser, thermal expansion valve, evaporator, and piping to connect the components. - Refrigerant flows from the compressor to the condenser (high side), then through the thermal expansion valve and evaporator (low side), picking up heat from the conditioned space before returning to the compressor. - It provides examples of using refrigerant pressure and temperature measurements to determine properties like saturation temperature, degree of subcooling or superheat.
