2 Objectives Understand mechanical refrigeration terms Describe how heat is transferred and what methods are primarily used in the refrigeration cycle Describe the 4 principles of the refrigeration process Explain the function of the 4 system components Explain refrigerant properties Section 1 Introduction

3 Definition of Refrigeration re frig er a tion (n.) Mechanical refrigeration is the process of using a volatile fluid to absorb heat from a lower temperature place, raising the fluid s pressure and temperature so it can be rejected to a higher temperature place Section 1 Introduction

4 Basic Principals Heat is a form of energy First law of thermodynamics: Energy can neither be created or destroyed Heat flows from a higher temperature to a lower temperature Heat energy can move by one of three methods of heat transfer

5 Three Types of Heat Transfer Conduction Transfer by contact Convection May be natural or forced transfer by density currents and fluid motion Radiation Transfer by electromagnetic waves Mechanical refrigeration uses the first two. Section 2 Basic Principles

6 Two Forms of Heat Energy Sensible Heat Associated with molecular movement Measured with a thermometer Latent Heat Change of state Latent heat of fusion (solid to liquid) Latent heat of vaporization (liquid to gas) Latent heat of sublimation (solid to gas)
