Types of Refrigeration
Refrigeration systems
Vapour Compression
Refrigeration (VCR): uses
mechanical energy
Vapour Absorption Refrigeration
(VAR): uses thermal energy

UNEP 2006
Type of Refrigeration
Vapour Compression Refrigeration
Highly compressed fluids tend to get
colder when allowed to expand
If pressure high enough
Compressed air hotter than source
of cooling
Expanded gas cooler than desired
cold temperature
10
UNEP 2006
Type of Refrigeration
Vapour Compression Refrigeration
Two advantages
Lot of heat can be removed (lot of
thermal energy to change liquid to
vapour)
Heat transfer rate remains high
(temperature of working fluid much
lower than what is being cooled)
