INTRODUCTION &
OBJECTIVES
Refrigeration systems play a vital
role in modern life, impacting
numerous aspects of our daily
routines and industrial processes.
Their importance stems from the
ability to control temperature
and remove heat, enabling a
wide range of applications.

outside. safe.
Objectives of the experiment:
 Understand the working principle of a refrigeration system.
 Analyze the performance characteristics of the system.
 Calculate the Coefficient of Performance (COP) for refrigeration
(COPref).
 Observe the effect of fan speed on system performance.
WORKING PRINCIPLE
 Compression: Refrigerant vapor is compressed, increasing its pressure
and temperature.
 Condensation: High-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant vapor
releases heat and condenses into a liquid.
 Expansion: High-pressure liquid refrigerant expands through a valve,
reducing its pressure and temperature.
 Evaporation: Low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant liquid absorbs
heat and evaporates into a vapor.
THERMODYNAMICS
APPLICATIONS
Thermodynamics is a fundamental branch of physics that deals with
energy, particularly heat and its relationship to work. Its principles
govern a vast array of phenomena in the world around us, making its
applications incredibly diverse. Here are some key areas where
thermodynamics plays a crucial role;
APPLICATIONS;
 Power: Engines, power plants (fossil fuels, nuclear, renewables).
 Cooling: Refrigerators, AC, heat pumps.
 Industry: Chemical processes, materials science, manufacturing.
 Transport: Cars, planes, rockets.
 Everyday: Cooking, weather, even how our bodies work!
EXPERIMANTAL
PROCEDURE
1. Check the refrigeration system's condition.
2. Connect the system to electrical power.
3. Turn the system ON and allow it to stabilize (2 minutes).
4. Record initial readings of all parameters.
5. Turn the fan ON at ¼ speed.
6. After 2 minutes, record readings.
7. Repeat readings at 2-minute intervals for five readings.
8. Repeat steps 5-7 for full fan speed.
