Question
During refrigeration cycle, heat is rejected by the refrigerant in the ______.
Options
Condenser
Cold chamber
Evaporator
Hot chamber
Solution
During refrigeration cycle, heat is rejected by the refrigerant in the condenser.
Explanation:
In the condenser, the heat is rejected by the refrigerant into the atmosphere, and then the refrigerant goes to the expansion valve. The condenser is made up of copper or aluminium coils since their conductivity is high to ensure the better transfer of heat from a hot region to the atmosphere. The condenser sometimes also contains some additional length to subcool the liquid below the saturation temperature.
