Heat Transfer Devices in Refrigeration Cycle

Answered using GPT-4o mini by AI Answer Generator

Question:

What is a heat transfer device in a refrigeration cycle (select all that apply) Select all that apply.

A. Compressor B. Condenser C. Evaporator D. Expansion Device

Answer:

In a refrigeration cycle, the heat transfer devices are primarily the components that facilitate the transfer of heat from one medium to another. Based on the options provided, the correct selections are:

B. Condenser - This device removes heat from the refrigerant as it condenses from a gas to a liquid.

C. Evaporator - This device absorbs heat from the environment (or the space being cooled) as the refrigerant evaporates from a liquid to a gas.

The other options, A (Compressor) and D (Expansion Device), are important components of the refrigeration cycle but do not directly transfer heat. The compressor compresses the refrigerant and increases its pressure, while the expansion device reduces the pressure of the refrigerant.

So, the correct answers are:

  • B. Condenser
  • C. Evaporator
