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.
