BASIC REFRIGERANT CYCLE & COMPONENT

1 - EVAPORATION
2 - COMPRESSION
3 - CONDESATION
4 - EXPANSION
 B. COMPONENTS & OPERATION CYCLE

i. MAIN COMPONENTS
ii. CONTROL COMPONENTS
MAIN COMPONENTS:
• COMPRESSOR & CAPASITOR
 MAIN COMPONENTS:

• CAPILLARY TUBE
MAIN COMPONENTS:

• CONDENSER

• TO REJECT HEAT BY 2 METHODS : :

1. BY AIR - (AIR-COOLED )
2. BY WATER - (WATER-COOLED)
 MAIN
COMPONENTS:
THERMAL EXPANSION
VALVE (TXV)
MAIN COMPONENTS:

• EVAPORATOR / COOLER
 II. CONTROL COMPONENTS

1. CAPASITOR
2. HP/LP SWITCH
3. CRANKCASE HEATER
4. SENSING BULB
5. FILTER DRIER
 CAPASITOR

• TO ENERGIZED COMPRESSOR
MOTOR

Start & Run Air Conditioner Capacitors

These capacitors are used in single phase electric motors. START

cap. is used to shift the phase difference between START
windings and RUN windings of a capacitor-start motor. This
difference caused a starting torque to be generated that is able
to start the motor with full load connected to it.
CONTROL
COMPONENTS

• HP/LP SWITCH – TO LIMIT EXCCESIVE

PRESSURE ( HIGH/LOW)

• CRANKCASE HEATER- TO MAINTAIN

REF.TEMP IN COMPRESSOR
FILTER DRIER

• HAS (2) TWO ESSENTIAL

FUNCTIONS:
1. TO ADSORB SYSTEM
CONTAMINANTS, SUCH
AS WATER, WHICH CAN
CREATE ACIDS
2. TO PROVIDE PHYSICAL
FILTRATION.
