Episode: The Basic Refrigeration Circuit
Description: In this episode of HVAC School, we discuss the entire basic refrigerant/compression refrigeration circuit. We are in the business of moving heat. Heat refers to motion in the molecules. Temperature is the average velocity of those molecules. Heat needs a temperature differential to move. So, HVAC systems absorb heat when the refrigerant is colder than the ambient temperature. They reject heat when the refrigerant is hotter than the ambient temperature. Remember the components and their functions in the following order: Compressor: increases the vapor refrigerant's temperature and pressure. Discharge line: carries hot, high-pressure...
