🔍 Key Concepts

• Vapor compression refrigeration cycle stages (compression, condensation, expansion, evaporation) • Where pressure drops sharply and how pressure relates to saturation temperature • Difference between heat absorption in the evaporator vs. throttling/expansion through the valve

💭 Think About

• In which component does the refrigerant go from high pressure to low pressure almost instantaneously? • How does a sudden pressure drop affect the saturation temperature of the refrigerant? • Compare where the refrigerant is mostly changing phase versus where it is mostly changing pressure without doing useful work.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify the component whose main job is to reduce pressure without adding work (no shaft work input). • Check where the largest single-step temperature drop on a pressure-enthalpy (P‑h) or temperature-entropy (T‑s) diagram usually occurs. • Confirm which component is primarily for heat absorption from the space/medium being cooled, and which is for throttling/expansion.
