What are the basic components of an automotive refrigeration system?
1 Answers
An automotive refrigeration system mainly consists of a compressor, evaporator, condenser, dryer, expansion valve, blower, and control mechanism. These components are connected into a sealed system using high-pressure rubber hoses and steel pipes. During operation, the refrigerant circulates through this space in different states. The cycle consists of four processes: 1. Compression process; 2. Heat dissipation process; 3. Throttling process; 4. Heat absorption process. During the evaporation process, it absorbs a large amount of heat from the surroundings, and then the low-temperature, low-pressure refrigerant vapor re-enters the compressor. These processes repeat continuously, achieving the purpose of reducing the air temperature around the evaporator in the automotive refrigeration system.
