INTRODUCTION.

A refrigeration unit is a unit composed of several machineries that can remove

transfer heat from a low-temperature region to a high-temperature region. Normally heat can
only be transfer from a high temperature region to low, so to reverse this process, a
refrigerator is needed. Refrigerator consists of four main components which are; compressor,
evaporator, expansion valve and condenser. Each component works together to perform a
series of process. The process includes a cycle of refrigerant and a flow of cooling water.

In the experiment, the refrigeration units used are Samsung Fridge-Freezer (Model:
RA19FAAS), and Panasonic Air conditioner (Model: 2K28S3R236A). The devices are design
to give understanding to the user of common parts and its function.

The Samsung Fridge-Freezer (Model: RA19FAAS) is a bench top unit with all
components and instrumentations mounted on the sturdy base. The Fridge-freezer domestic
electrical appliance which comprises a fridge and a freezer compartment. The Panasonic Air
conditioner (Model: 2K28S3R236A) is a system or a machine that treats air in a defined,
usually enclosed area via a refrigeration cycle in which warm air is removed and replaced
with cooler and more humid air.

According to table 1, shows the common parts and its function of a compression system. In
compression.

Figure 1. Basic Evaporation Cycle

According to fig.1, the cold side of an air conditioner contains the evaporator and a fan that
blows air over the chilled coils and into the room. The hot side contains the compressor,
condenser and another fan to vent hot air coming off the compressed refrigerant to the
outdoors. In between the two sets of coils, there's an expansion valve. It regulates the
amount of compressed liquid refrigerant moving into the evaporator. Once in the evaporator,
the refrigerant experiences a pressure drop, expands and changes back into a gas. The
compressor is actually a large electric pump that pressurizes the refrigerant gas as part of
the process of turning it back into a liquid. There are some additional sensors, timers and
valves, but the evaporator, compressor, condenser and expansion valve are the main
components of an air conditioner.

COCLUSIONS.

In conclusion, the experiment was aimed at determining the properties of measurement /PVT
according to the Boyle’s law, Gay-Lussac’s Law, isentropic expansion, and heat capacity
equation. In fact, in this experiment, we have proven the Boyle’s law and Gay-Lussac’s law.
Although our experiment failed, but we have the reason behind the failure. For experiment 7,
the failure was due to the fact that an intermediate pressure was not taken after the valve
closed. However, the experiment was successfully done in final, and the objective of the
experiment was accomplishedly achieved.

RECOMMENDATIONS.

There are several improvements that can be performed so as to obtain a more satisfying
result in future. Before starting this experiment, we are supposed to do a start-up and shut-
down step in order to make sure there is no gas left in the chamber. Most importantly, during
recording data, keep an eye on the sensor while monitoring the board because the
parameter can increase and decrease really fast and read the procedure carefully.
 In addition, obtain an average reading by repeating the experiment for three times in
order to reduce the range of deviation. Handle the valve carefully and try not to make
mistake by choosing the valve because it will affect the data. The place where the
experiment is conducted also must be at stable and no vibration. All the equipment must be
handled carefully in order to avoid explosion because over-pressure in the tank would cause
an explosion.
