3. A/C COOLING CYCLE

1) System flow

Condition: Gas/Liquid

Function: Keeps the refrigerant free from moisture by separating/collecting the moisture from it.

-

-

"Compression -> Condensation -> Expansion -> Evaporation"

-

Condition: Liquefied gas/Gas

Function: Cools the air by absorbing the heat from the air around the evaporator.

-

-

Condition: Liquid/Liquefied gas

Function: Performs adiabatic expansion and flow control for easier evaporation.

-

-

Condition: Gas/Liquid

Function: Cools and condenses the refrigerant by using ambient air to liquefy it under high pressure.

-

-

Condition: Gas

Function: Circulates the refrigerant and increases the pressure and temperature for easier 

evaporation.
