General introduction
Refrigeration cycle
1. The refrigerant at the lower pressure side is condensed by the
compressor into the HT and HP gaseous refrigerant.
2. These gaseous refrigerant flows into the condenser, where it is
turned into liquid refrigerant.
3. Those liquid refrigerant flows into the liquid tank, where the
liquid refrigerant is stored and filtered so as to satisfy the
requirement of evaporator.

4. The liquid refrigerant is throttled by the expansion valve to reduce the pressure, so that the liquid refrigerant is turned
into the LT and LP mixture of liquid and gaseous refrigerant.
5. The cold and fog-like refrigerant flows into the evaporator, where it is vaporized with the given heat, which is
absorbed from the hot air flow by the evaporator core. All liquid refrigerants are turned into the gaseous refrigerant
in the evaporator, and only the heated gaseous refrigerant is absorbed into the compressor. Then repeat the above-
mentioned cycling approach.
The refrigerant released from
the evaporator expands and
inflows through the evapora-
tor pipe. During this process,
the refrigerant absorbs the
heat in the air around the ra-
diating rib and pipe and
vaporizes, so that the tem-
perature inside the vehicle
reduces gradually.
The condenser allows the heated gas-
eous refrigerant to release heat to the
cooling air of engine, therefore, the gas-
eous refrigerant is cooled and turned
into liquid state again.
The expansion valve is used
to measure the gaseous re-
frigerant entered into evapo-
rator core, which reduces the
pressure and temperature of
refrigerant gradually.
The liquid tank is used to exhaust
the water in system and to filter
the dust and dunghill. It serves as
the store to store the redundant
refrigerant.
The compressor absorbs the
gaseous refrigerant emitted
from the evaporator and com-
presses it. In doing so, the tem-
perature and pressure of gas-
eous refrigerant increases
rapidly.
