kjølemediekrets
A kjølemediekrets, often translated as a refrigeration circuit or refrigerant circuit, is a closed loop system responsible for transferring heat from one location to another. This process is fundamental to refrigeration and air conditioning technologies. The circuit typically consists of four main components: a compressor, a condenser, an expansion valve, and an evaporator. A refrigerant, a fluid with a low boiling point, circulates through these components, undergoing phase changes that enable heat transfer.
The compressor is the heart of the system, increasing the pressure and temperature of the gaseous refrigerant.
