The refrigerant flows around the air conditioning loop in a closed circuit.
|
|
|
It then passes from the compressor to the condenser where it changes from a vapour to a liquid, but still maintains its high pressure state. It is at a third stage where a fall in temperature from about 100’C to 70’C takes place.
|
|
|
After flowing via the pressure switch and the receiver drier, it enters the expansion valve. The refrigerant then changes from a high pressure liquid (20 bar) to a low pressure liquid (3 bar) and cools from 70’C to 0’C.
|
|
|
As the refrigerant enters the evaporator, the evaporator cools the exterior air flowing through (25’C). The latter then decreases in temperature and then flows into the vehicle cabin at about 7’C.
|
|
|
It is at this stage that the refrigerant returns to the compressor where it restarts the loop again.
