The refrigeration cycle system of INDUSTRIAL CHILLER is mainly composed of four core components: compressor, evaporator, condenser and expansion valve. These four components are interdependent and work together to complete the cycle transformation of refrigerant from gas to liquid and then back to gas, realizing effective cooling of industrial water.

1. As the "heart" of the refrigeration cycle system, the compressor plays a vital role. It is responsible for sucking in low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas and increasing its temperature and pressure by mechanical compression. This process provides strong power support for the heat release of the refrigerant in subsequent links. The performance of the compressor directly determines the refrigeration efficiency and stability of the refrigeration system.

2. The high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas compressed by the compressor enters the evaporator, and the refrigerant exchanges heat with the industrial water that needs to be cooled. Since the temperature of the refrigerant is much higher than the water temperature, the refrigerant will evaporate quickly and absorb the heat in the water, causing the water temperature to drop rapidly. The efficient heat exchange capacity of the evaporator ensures that the refrigeration system can quickly and accurately reach the set cooling temperature.

3. The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas of the evaporator then enters the condenser. In the condenser, the refrigerant gas exchanges heat with the outside environment through the heat sink, releasing the heat absorbed in the evaporator. As the heat is continuously released, the refrigerant gradually condenses into a high-pressure liquid. The design and heat dissipation efficiency of the condenser have an important impact on the overall performance of the refrigeration system.

4. When the high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through the expansion valve, the pressure suddenly drops, causing the refrigerant to expand rapidly and partially vaporize. This process is called throttling and decompression, which allows the refrigerant to have a lower temperature and pressure before entering the evaporator. The precise adjustment of the expansion valve is essential to maintain the stable operation of the refrigeration cycle system. It ensures that the evaporation rate and cooling effect of the refrigerant in the evaporator are optimal.
