βοΈ Understanding the Direct Plant Refrigeration Cycle made simple!
πΉ Compressor β Compresses refrigerant gas πΉ Condenser β Rejects heat and converts gas into liquid πΉ Receiver β Stores high-pressure liquid refrigerant πΉ Expansion Valve β Reduces pressure and temperature πΉ Evaporator (FCU) β Absorbs heat and provides cooling πΉ Accumulator β Protects the compressor from liquid refrigerant return
Knowing the refrigerant flow is the key to faster troubleshooting and better HVAC/R performance.
