HOW DOES A REFRIGERATOR WORK?

The refrigerators work on the principle of the Vapour Compression cycle.

VAPOUR COMPRESSION CYCLE

The vapour-compression uses a circulating liquid refrigerant as the medium which absorbs
and removes heat from the space to be cooled and subsequently rejects that heat elsewhere.
Single-stage vapour-compression system. All such systems have four components: a
compressor, a condenser. A thermal expansion valve (also called a throttle valve or metering
device), and an evaporator. Circulating refrigerant enters the compressor in the
thermodynamic state known as a saturated vapour and is compressed to a higher pressure,
resulting in a higher temperature as well. The hot, compressed vapour is then in the
thermodynamic state known as a superheated vapour and it is at a temperature and pressure
at which it can be condensed with either cooling water or cooling air. That hot vapour is
routed through a condenser where it is cooled and condensed into a liquid by flowing through
a coil or tubes with cool water or cool air flowing across the coil or tubes. This is where the
circulating refrigerant rejects heat from the system and the rejected heat is carried away by
either the water or the air (whichever may be the case).

The condensed liquid refrigerant, in the thermodynamic state known as a saturated liquid, is
next routed through an expansion valve where it undergoes an abrupt reduction in pressure.
That pressure reduction results in the adiabatic flash evaporation of a part of the liquid
refrigerant. The auto-refrigeration effect of the adiabatic flash evaporation lowers the
temperature of the liquid and vapour refrigerant mixture to where it is colder than the
temperature of the enclosed space to be refrigerated.
The cold mixture is then routed through the coil or tubes in the evaporator. A fan circulates
the warm air in the enclosed space across the coil or tubes carrying the cold refrigerant liquid
and vapour mixture. That warm air evaporates the liquid part of the cold refrigerant mixture.
At the same time, the circulating air is cooled and thus lowers the temperature of the
enclosed space to the desired temperature. The evaporator is where the circulating
refrigerant absorbs and removes heat which is subsequently rejected in the condenser and
transferred elsewhere by the water or air used in the condenser.
To complete the refrigeration cycle, the refrigerant vapour from the evaporator is again a
saturated vapour and is routed back into the compressor.

Thus, Vapor-compression refrigeration is one of the many refrigeration cycles and is the most
widely used method for in domestic and commercial refrigerators, large-scale warehouses for
chilled or frozen storage of foods and meats, refrigerated trucks

Domestic Refrigerator Parts and their Working

1) Refrigerant : -
The refrigerant flows through all the internal parts of the refrigerator. It is the refrigerant that
carries out the cooling effect in the evaporator. It absorbs the heat from the substance to be
cooled in the evaporator (chiller or freezer) and throws it to the atmosphere via condenser.
The refrigerant keeps on recirculating through all the internal parts of the refrigerator in
cycle.

2) Compressor : -
The compressor is located at the back of the refrigerator and in the bottom area. The
compressor sucks the refrigerant from the evaporator and discharges it at high pressure and
temperature. The compressor is driven by the electric motor and it is the major power
consuming devise of the refrigerator.

3) Condenser : -
The condenser is the thin coil of copper tubing located at the back of the refrigerator. The
refrigerant from the compressor enters the condenser where it is cooled by the atmospheric
air thus losing heat absorbed by it in the evaporator and the compressor. To increase the
heat transfer rate of the condenser, it is finned externally.

Condenser of a domestic refrigerator

4) Expansive valve or the capillary : -

The refrigerant leaving the condenser enters the expansion devise, which is the capillary tube
in case of the domestic refrigerators. The capillary is the thin copper tubing made up of
number of tums of the copper coil. When the refrigerant is passed through the capillary its
pressure and temperature drop down suddenly.

5) Evaporator or chiller or freezer : -

The refrigerant at very low pressure and temperature enters the evaporator or the freezer.
The evaporator is the heat exchanger made up of several turns of copper or aluminum tubing.
In domestic refrigerators the plate types of evaporator are used as shown in the figure above.
The refrigerant absorbs the heat from the substance to be cooled in the evaporator, gets
evaporated and it then sucked by the compressor. This cycle keeps on repeating.

6) Temperature control devise or thermostat:

To control the temperature inside the refrigerator there is thermostat, whose sensor is
connected to the evaporator. The thermostat setting can be done by the round knob inside
the refrigerator compartment. When the set temperature is reached inside the refrigerator
the thermostat stops the electric supply to the compressor and compressor stops and when
the temperature falls below certain level it restarts the supply to the compressor.

7) Defrost system : -
The defrost system of the refrigerator helps removing the excess ice from the surface of the
evaporator. The defrost system can be operated manually by the thermostat button or there
is automatic system comprising of the electric heater and the timer.

External visible parts of the Refrigerator

1) Freezer compartment : -
The food items that are to be kept at the freezing temperature are stored in the freezer
compartment. The temperature here is below zero degree Celsius so the water and many
other fluids freeze in this compartment. If you want to make ice cream, ice, freeze the food
etc. they have to be kept in the freezer compartment.

2) Thermostat control : -
The thermostat control comprises of the round knob with the temperature scale that help
setting the required temperature inside the refrigerator. Proper setting of the thermostat as
per the requirements can help saving lots of refrigerator electricity bills.

3) Refrigerator compartment : -
The refrigerator compartment is the biggest part of the refrigerator. Here all the food items
that are to be maintained at temperature above zero degree Celsius but in cooled condition
are kept. The refrigerator compartment can be divided into number of smaller shelves like
meat keeper, and others as per the requirement.

4) Crisper : -
The highest temperature in the refrigerator compartment is maintained in the crisper. Here
one can keep the food items that can remain fresh even at the medium temperature like
fruits, vegetables, etc.

5) Refrigerator door compartment : -

There are number of smaller subsections in the refrigerator main door compartment. Some of
these are egg compartment, butter, dairy, etc.

6) Switch : -
This is the small button that operates the small light inside the refrigerator. As soon the door
of the refrigerator opens, this switch supplies electricity to the bulb and it starts, while when
the door is closed the light from the bulb stops. This helps in starting the internal bulb only
when required.

INSPECTION DURING MANUFACTURING

Inspection of the refrigerator during its manufacturing takes place at STAGE 4.

It is done so as to reduce any recurring defect which may reduce the overall PQI(percentage
quality index) of the refer plant. Any defect during the initial manufacturing of the refrigerator
up to this stage is noticed by the line supervisor and necessary and timely intervention of
coordinators along with line supervisor results in overall improvement in PQI of the
manufacturing system.
After assembly the inspection takes place of the complete refrigerator at Stage-4.
It takes place in two parts.

• Front Inspection:

One worker of Quality department does complete inspection of the refrigerator from
the front. He inspects that nothing is missing and everything is placed or fixed
properly. He also inspects door for dents and scratches. The refrigerators which need
repair are offloaded and repaired by the workers of Refrigeration Final Assembly
Department.

The usual defects are:

• Dent

• PDP Shelf Broken

ELECTRICAL DEFECTS

The various electrical defects which occurs during the manufacturing refrigerators are taken
care at the light switch defect stage aka LSD defect stage.
At LSD the electrical connections are checked. The wires are inserted for various equipment
before this stage and inspection of those connections are done here.
It is checked that the refrigerator is working properly .This is done before filling gas i.e.
refrigerant to compressor. Firstly, electricity is provided at 220 V and 50 Hz frequency and it
is checked that current flows through the refrigerator. Current reading must be between
(0.40A-2A).
If there is no ampere reading or the bulb does not work properly. Then the refrigerator is
offloaded.
Then it is again checked by the worker doing repair. If there is defect in proper working of the
bulb it can be of the following reasons
1. Improper Thimble connections: Thimbles are not connected properly with the light
switch or there is foam seepage in thimbles.
2. Improper fitting of bulb: It can be also because of improper bulb.
3. Bulb Fuse
If there is no ampere reading then there can be two problems:
1. Either there is problem in thermostat.
2. Or there is problem in relay.

Thermostat problem can be because of the following reasons:

• Improper Thimble connections:
Thimbles are not connected properly with the thermostat or there is foam seepage in
thimbles.
It may be also improper working i.e. thermostat is damaged.
Thermostat missing: LSD defects are also introduced if thermostat is missed in the
refrigerator body.

Reasons of relay problem:

• Improper Thimble connections: Thimbles are not connected properly with relay or
there is foam seepage in thimbles.
• Relay missing: If the relay is missing in the refrigerator, the compressor doesn't work.

UNIT CELL (USS)

EVACUATION LOOP :
It is the process of removal of the all the gases in the compressor and cleaning of the
complete path through which the refrigerant has to flow.
When the compressor is manufactured in the compressor plant N₂ is filled in it.

We use nitrogen gas because of the following worth mentioning reasons:

• One is that it is inert gas...

• Secondly the minimum temperature we want to obtain in refrigerator is 37°C which is

higher than the dew point of nitrogen gas.

Firstly, the Nitrogen gas is removed with the help of vacuum pump.
Then the two pipes of the vacuum pump are employed on two places i.e. at drier and
charging port of compressor.

The pumps used are rotary type and motors used to drive them are of 0.75 horsepower (HP).

• Pipe that is used at the drier cleans the condenser of all the gases and the
contaminants.

• While the Pipe used at the compressor cleans the compressor completely.
The whole process takes almost 20 to 30 minutes to take place.
Here at the starting of the evacuation loop the refrigerators have to be moved so that they
can be arranged in front of the pumps being used for evacuation and certain distance has to
be maintained between refrigerators. If the distance is not maintained between them there will
be occurrence of dents on the purging bends as the refrigerators will come close to each
other. If the refrigerators collide it will result in the dents on the refrigerators.
So, the following points are to be taken into consideration:

▪ Maintenance of distance between refrigerators.

▪ Cushions are to be used on the side panels.

▪ Foam cover is to be placed on the handles.

CHARGING OF THE REFRIGERATOR :

Charging of the refrigerator is done with the help of the Galileo. The refrigerant
filled is R600a (Isobutene). Refrigerant is filled in different amount in different
refrigerators according to the size of the refrigerator. It varies from 24 grams to 55
grams for different refrigerators.

LEAK DETECTION-2 AND PRE-HIGH VOLTAGE TESTING:

The first leak detection was without filling the refrigerant in the refrigerator.

SHIVAJIRAO S. JONDHLE POLYTECHNIC, ASANGAON

Department of Mechanical Engineering

It was done with the help of nitrogen gas (N₂).Now the leak detection takes place
after filling the refrigerant R600a.

It is one before plug in and plug out loop so that refrigerator is completely checked of any
leakage before the refrigerant starts flowing in the refrigerator.

So the refrigerators that are having leak are offloaded before the plug in plug out
loop.

The leak can be at the following places :

▪ Condenser pipes

▪ Drier

▪ Capillary

▪ Suction of the compressor

▪ Discharge of the compressor

The leak is checked with the help of the leak testing machine. It beeps when there is a leak in
the refrigerator and it is offloaded. The point of leak is checked with the help of the soap
solution. When soap solution is applied wherever there is leak in the refrigerator the bubbles
start coming out from that point. Then it is sent for repair.

High Voltage Testing:

Here 1100 volts is provided to the refrigerator. The current leakage should not be more than
1mA (milliampere) If it is more than 1 milliampere then the machine beeps and refrigerator
are offloaded before plug in plug out stage. This test is important because if refrigerator
having current leakage goes through the plug-in plug-out loop without getting checked then it
can cause an accident.

PLUG IN PLUG OUT LOOP

Here the refrigerator are plugged in with the plugs hanging from the bus bar above. It is a
loop of 20 minutes. There are two persons working at the starting of the plug-in loop.

▪ One's work is to plug in the refrigerator.

▪ The second person's work is to check whether the bulb is switched on or not

Here lot of attention is given to the safety of the workers.

Rubber mat is used; both the workers have to stand on the mats. They are also required to
wear gloves for their safety.

The refrigerator moves on the conveyer belt in a plug in plug out loop while being plugged in.
So during this time refrigerator is switched on, it traverses the full path provided to it i.e.
compressor compresses the refrigerant then it passes the condenser where it is cooled, then
it is passed through the drier and capillary tube which result in decrease of pressure of
refrigerant. In evaporator heat exchange again takes place, the refrigerant gains heat while it
cools the vegetables ete in refrigerator and come back to the compressor. This results in
cooling of the refrigerator. It is desired that during this plug in plug out loop the temperature in
the evaporator should reach below -18°C.

Then the thermo hunter is used at plug out to check the temperature in the evaporator. It
should be below -18°C.

The refrigerators whose temperature is below -18°C are given okay tags and they
continue to move on the conveyor belt, but if the temperature inside the evaporator
is above-18°C then refrigerator is offloaded and again plugged in. Refrigerators that are
offloaded have following defects:

▪ Bulb not working

▪ Compressor not working

▪ Less cooling

▪ No cooling

▪ Or there me be problem with the supply cord

They all are repaired at tripping Stage.

NOISE TESTING:
During the plug in plug out loop the noise testing of the refrigerator's compressor
take place with the noise testing machine. The compressor whose noise comes out
to be less than 70 dB is passed while those producing noise more than 70 dB are
offloaded at the plug out stage. They are again put on the conveyor belt and
offloaded at the noise testing chamber.

LEAK DETECTION -3:

It also takes place during the plug in plug out loop. Here the refrigerators are again
checked for leakage with leak testing machine. Here the refrigerators with leakage
are sent for repair.

TRIPPING STAGE:
Here all the refrigerators offloaded at the plug out stage are repaired.
The major defects that are removed are:

▪ Light Switch defect

▪ No cooling defects

▪ Less cooling defect.

▪ Compressor not working

▪ High voltage defect

Light Switch Defect :

The light switch defect may be due to improper connection of bulb or the Light switch.

Sometimes the bulb gets fuse or its connection with its holder is not proper. It also
occurs when there is foam in the thimble connecting to the light switch.

No cooling defect: No cooling occurs due to improper relay connection or if there is no

refrigerant in refrigerator.

Less cooling Defect:

It occurs if there is less refrigerant used in the refrigerator. The amount of refrigerant
varies with the size and capacity of the refrigerator. It varies from 24 grams to 55 grams.

Compressor Not Working:

It may be due to two reasons:

• Relay connection improper

• Thermostat connection improper or thermostat not working.

High voltage defect:

It is due to current leakage somewhere in the whole wiring It is also removed here.

STAGE - 5:
Here at Stage 5 the front and back inspection takes place.
The inspectors are of Quality department. They check whether all the equipment's
are properly installed at their required places. There is no fault in installation of the
various equipment's.

If there is problem in installation and something is missing the workers of the

Refrigeration Final Assembly Department (RFA) offload the refrigerator and work
on the defect .After the repair is properly done the refrigerator is again put on the
conveyer belt.

STAGE-6:

It is the last stage before the refrigerator goes for packing.

Here the following things are done.

▪ The cushions on the side panels of the refrigerator are removed.

▪ The foam covers on the handles of the doors are removed.

▪ Final inspection of the refrigerators.

▪ Final repair of the refrigerators.

The RFA department workers do the entire repair and place the missing
components while the quality department workers have to just indicate the defect.
