1.Refrigerator - All refrigerator system have four basic part,the condenser,the compresser,throttling or expension valve and evaporater. 1.

1 There are three types of condensers: air cooled, water cooled and evaporative. - Air cooled condensers: Air cooled condensers are used in small units like household refrigerators, deep freezers, water coolers, window air-conditioners, split airconditioners, small packaged air-conditioners etc. These are used in plants where the cooling load is small and the total quantity of the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle is small. Air cooled condensers are also called coil condensers as they are usually made of copper or aluminum coil. Air cooled condensers occupy a comparatively larger space than water cooled condensers. - Water cooled condensers: Water cooled condensers are used for large refrigerating plants, big packaged air-conditioners, central air-conditioning plants, etc. These are used in plants where cooling loads are excessively high and a large quantity of refrigerant flows through the condenser. - Evaporative condensers: Evaporative condensers are usually used in ice plants. They are a combination of water cooled and air cooled condensers. In these condensers the hot refrigerant flows through the coils. Water is sprayed over these coils. At the same time the fan draws air from the bottom side of the condenser and discharges it from the top side of the condenser. The spray water that comes in contact with the condenser coil gets evaporated in the air and it absorbs the heat from the condenser, cools the refrigerant and condenses it. 1.2 A refrigerant is a substance used in a heat cycle usually including, for enhanced efficiency, a reversible phase change from a gas to a liquid. Traditionally, fluorocarbons, especially chlorofluorocarbons were used as refrigerants, but they are being phased out because of their ozone depletion effects. Other common refrigerants used in various applications are ammonia, sulfur dioxide, and non-halogenated hydrocarbons such as methane .

2. Air Conditioning

1.1 Air conditioning is the removal of heat from indoor air for thermal comfort.In another sense, the term can refer to any form of cooling, heating, ventilation, or disinfection that modifies the condition of air.[1] An air conditioner (often referred to as AC or air con.) is an appliance, system, or machine designed to stabilise the air temperature and humidity within an area (used for cooling as well as heating depending on the air properties at a given time), typically using a refrigeration cycle but sometimes using evaporation, commonly for comfort cooling in buildings and motor vehicles. 1.2 Air-conditioning units the heat is taken from the low temperature reservoir and thrown to the high temperature reservoir; hence this process requires external power which is given to the compressor. The compressor sucks low pressure and low temperature refrigerant from the evaporator and compresses it to high pressure and high temperature gaseous state. The larger the size of the refrigeration plant, the larger the compressor will be and the more power will be required.
