BLOCK DIAGRAM OF VAPOI]R COMPRESSION CYCLE

The standard vapour compression cycle consists of following process:

i.
2.

process-2 r-epresents reversible adiabatic compression from saturated vapoul' to the condenser pressure or superheated vapour'
proces

s 2-3 represents

reversible heat rejection at constant pressure, de

preheating and condensation.

3. process 3-4 represents ineversible constant enthalpic expansion from


saturated liquid to the evaporator pressure'

4. process 4-I represents reversible heat addition at constant

pressure

The refiigerants such a R-12,

W,4:11-++

(commerciaily known as fi'eons) are

u.sed as working medium because refrigeration cycles
