Answer the following question.

1. What is Refrigeration and Air conditioning?

*Air conditioning drives the cold air away, while refrigeration retains it close. Air
conditioning uses outside air in addition to coolant, while refrigeration uses only coolant.
Air conditioning deals with cooling and dehumidifying the air, while refrigeration deals with
freezing and chilling.

2. What is the importance of Refrigeration and Air conditioning?

*Air conditioning and refrigeration are used to regulate temperature in domestic and
industrial appliances like ACs and refrigerators, primarily to lower the temperature in a
specific area.
3. What is the main purpose of Refrigeration?
*Refrigerators keep food cold, ensuring it stays fresh longer. They slow down bacteria
activity, which is present in all food, preventing spoilage and preventing bacteria from
causing spoilage.
4. Why is it called Air conditioning?
*Stuart Cramer, a mill engineer, developed a device that introduced moisture to the stale, hot
air within textile facilities not long after Willis Carrier released his invention. He gave his
creation the name “air conditioner” since it made the air chilly and humid.
5. What are the 4 basic components of Air conditioning?
*The air conditioning system comprises four key components: evaporator, condenser,
compressor, and expansion valve. These components work in sync and perform specific
functions to ensure the system operates smoothly.
6. What is the classification of Air conditioning system?
*Common air conditioning systems include window, portable, wall-hung split or multi-head
systems, and ducted units, each with varying quality and features, even within their own class.
 7. What are the advantages of refrigeration?
*A refrigerator’s primary function is to maintain food’s coolness, ensuring it remains fresher for
longer. Its main idea is to slow down bacteria’s actions, making it harder for microorganisms to
spoil food, thus preventing bacterial growth.
8. What is the basic cycle of refrigeration?
*The simple refrigeration cycle comprises four primary processes: compression, condensation,
expansion, and evaporation.
9. How is Refrigeration system and Air conditioning system related?
*Refrigeration and air conditioning are two distinct systems that handle different aspects of air
conditioning, such as cooling and freezing, and dehumidifying the air, respectively, using
different types of coolants.
