- In the evaporator, the refrigerant enters at very low pressure and temperature after passing through the expansion valve.
- This refrigerant absorbs the heat from the substance that is to be cooled so the refrigerant gets heated while the substance gets cooled.
- The refrigerant leaves the evaporator in the vapour state, mostly superheated and is absorbed by the compressor.
- In the compressor, the temperature and pressure both increases.
- After compressor, the refrigerant goes to the condenser where its temperature decreases while pressure is constant.
- So in the entire cooling cycle the pressure and temperature changes.
