Q. Study the domestic refrigerator available at your home (capture
exterior and interior images of the refrigerator, identify the
components/parts and explain functions of each component/part).
Explain all aspects in detail.

The domestic refrigerator back at my home is that of LG, and the model
is GL 254 AHG4 double door. It is not a new refrigerator.

Parts of the refrigerator and their functions

Compressor
It is the main part of a refrigerator. It is the heart of a refrigerator and it
is used to compress the working fluid so that we can obtain the cooling
effect.
In my study, the LG refrigerator uses a normal compressor The
compressor is located at the bottom side of the refrigerator. It
Circulates the refrigerant through the system and adds pressure to the
warm part of the circuit and make the refrigerant hot. It is similar to
when you are pumping air into a bicycle tube the low temperature low
pressure vapor refrigerant from the evaporator is drawn through
suction line to the compressor. end compressor compresses the
refrigerant vapor at low pressure and delivers the high-pressure vapor
of Refrigerant to content so it consumes most of the electricity.
Specifications of the compressor used in the refrigerator
horsepower = 162 w
temperature setting = 40 degrees Celsius
frequency = 50 Hertz
The parts of the refrigerator
Condenser
It is a copper tubing located at the back of the refrigerator the heat
produced in the refrigerant needs to be absorbed by something. That is
what a condenser does. It is the heat rejection system in the
refrigerator there are fans placed above the condenser to draw air over
the condenser coil.

Evaporator
The evaporator is located inside the refrigerator and is the part that
makes the items in the refrigerator cold. As the refrigerant turns the
liquid into gas through evaporation it cools the area around it
producing the proper environment for storing food.
Capillary tube
The capillary tube is a thin piece of tubing that serves as an expansion
device. liquid refrigerant is routed through the tube and sprayed into
the low pressure environment of the evaporator.

Overload relay
The overload relay is a protection device used in the compressor unit
on refrigerator power is applied to the compressor motor winding
through the overload device. the relay is used to add the start winding
in the circuit until the compressor is running speed.
Cooling fan
In my refrigerator there is a cooling fan like many other refrigerators.
The frost free refrigerator have two one miss and other refrigerator to
cool the compressor and force the air through the exterior course the
second is inside and moves air around the coils inside the refrigerator
this second fan helps provide more even cooling and also helps in the
defrost process.
Thermostat
The thermostat controls the cooling process by monitoring the
temperature in then switching the compressor one and off.
