Right, in this question we're going to explore the operation of a refrigerator.
00:06
So refrigerators work by using a closed system of refrigerant that moves through coils to transfer heat from inside the fridge to outside.
01:20
It's a continuous cycle of compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation.
01:56
And we're going to end up exploring each of those in more detail in these remaining questions all right so our next question is basically what does the compressor do how does it work so the compressor contains an electric motor that pumps the refrigerant through the system there are different kinds of compressors with different mechanisms to increase the pressure and temperature of the vaporized refrigerant.
04:18
Freon r134a is the most commonly used refrigerant.
04:37
And i think this is the end of all of our long answers because next up the hot gas question three the hot gas produced by the compressor goes into or goes through the condenser oh my gosh let's try writing more legibly sorry not produced by or not produced in produced by the compressor processor.
05:50
And then the next question for in the condenser, the hot gas cools by releasing thermal energy externally...
