Most of the commercial refrigeration is produced by the evaporation of a liquid called
refrigerant. Mechanical refrigeration depends upon the evaporation of liquid refrigerant
and its circuit includes the equipments, naming evaporator, compressor, condenser and
expansion valve. It is used for preservation of food, manufacture of ice, solid carbon

All refrigeration systems must include atleast four basic units as given below

condensed to the liquid refrigerant at high pressure and low temperature.

The high pressure liquid refrigerant then fows through the filter and then enters the
capillary tube (expansion device). The capillary tube is attached to the suction line as
shown in Fig. 4.3. The warm refrigerant passing through the capillary tube gives some of
its heat to cold suction line vapour. This increases the heat absorbing quality of the liquid
refrigerant slightly and increases the superheat of vapour entering the compressor.
The capillary tube expands the liquid refrigerant at high pressure to the liquid refriger
ant at low pressure so that a measured quantity of liquid refrigerant is passed into the
evaporator.
I n the evaporator the liquid refrigerant gets evaporated by absorbing heat from the con-
tainer/articles placed in the evaporative chamber and is sucked back into the compressor
and the cycle is repeated.
4.9.2. Electrical Circuit of a Refrigerator
Fig. 4.4 shows a schematic diagram of electric circuit of a refrigerator.
Components:
1. Lamp and switch. The arrangement is made in such a way that lamp remains off' as the
doorisclosedand becomes 'on' whenever door is opened. When the lamp is 'on' it is easy to trace the
commodities placed in the refrigerator
2.Thermostat switch. A thermostat switch maintains a requisite temperature in the
refrigerator.

6. Refrigerator should be operated without load at least two hours before loading it.
7. Dust of condenser should be removed períodically and made sure that no material evers
the portion.
8. If there is urgent need ofice turn the knob of thermostat to 5 or more and turn the bafle
tray deflection to the out position. Don't forget to change these to their normal position afterwards.
9. Defrosting should be done periodically as frost is a barrier vihich hinders cooling and adds
to the load operation.
10. Never use harsh leaners to hasten the defrosting proeess by striking at or chipping off
the ice as it will result in leakage of gas.
11. Baffle tray should be kept out when it is desired to colleet the dripping water from freezer
chest at the time of defrosting.
12. Moist food shouid be placed in a closed container or wrapped in polyrthene or auminiun foil
13. To safeguard against electric shock the refrigerator should be properly earthed with green
wire and operated only on three point plugs. Improper earthing may result in fatal accidents.
