Introduction to

Refrigerators
Refrigerators are essential household appliances used for storing and preserving
food items. They work by removing heat from the enclosed space to lower the
temperature.

pressure.
How Does a Refrigerator Work?
Compression
The refrigerant gas is compressed, raising its temperature and pressure.

Heat Dissipation
Heat is dissipated in the condenser, changing the gas to a liquid state.

Cooling
The liquid refrigerant absorbs heat in the evaporator, cooling the interior of the
fridge.
