Cooling is not magic; it’s governed by the laws of physics. The cooling process is based on fundamental principles of thermodynamics, which allow for the effective lowering of the temperature inside refrigeration units.

A refrigeration system comprises many components that are essential for its proper operation. All these products are available in our offer, allowing you to complete your entire order in one place, saving time and transport costs.

Refrigeration system – principle of operation

A refrigeration system works in four main stages:

1️⃣ The compressor draws in low-pressure refrigerant gas and compresses it, raising its pressure and temperature.

2️⃣ The hot, compressed gas then flows into the condenser, where it releases heat to the surroundings and changes into a liquid.

3️⃣ The liquid passes through an expansion valve, which lowers its pressure, causing a drop in temperature.

4️⃣ The cooled liquid enters the evaporator, where it absorbs heat from inside the unit, returning to a gas state, which is then drawn back into the compressor.

Process repeatability

This process repeats in a cycle, effectively maintaining the internal chamber of the refrigeration unit at an appropriately low temperature. This allows us to store food and other products in optimal conditions, preventing spoilage.

The operation of the refrigeration system is crucial not only in household refrigerators but also in industrial and commercial refrigeration, where precise temperature control is essential for maintaining the quality and freshness of stored products.
