Basic Refrigeration cycle - How it works

In this video we look at how a refrigeration cycle works and use colour coding to see how the temperature and pressure changes throughout a system. We include photographs of real items so you know what to look for in the real world.
We look at the condenser, evaporator, compressor and expansion valve.

As an apprenticeship instructor, I have struggled with ways to make this topic understandable; for my students as well as myself. You have done a great job with your explanations and diagrams of doing just that; making it understandable. Thanks and keep up the good work.

I saw more than different videos to understand the basics of refrigeration cycle. This is the best explanation ever. Great work. Really appreciate.

I was having a hell of a time understanding the refrigeration cycle for school and, unlike the gen ed courses I know so well from university, this is not something I could read once, take the exam, and dump it off later; I actually need to know this for the exam AND I need to retain it to be able to obtain and keep a job in my field. I’ve been trying on and off for weeks to find something that would explain it in a way that would make sense to me [online courses are new to me, so I only have reading as a way of learning, and it’s hard to retain that when I need reading and visual learning combined], but this helped. I stopped every so often to take notes, and in doing that, I feel confident that a little review here and there over the next few days will allow this to stick in my memory and I’ll never forget it. Thank you so much. I’ve liked and subscribed, and I look forward to any other videos you may have that will help me through this program.

You taught me more than my professor was trying to teach me during her 2 hour long lecture.
Thanks for this video. It is really helpful. 💜

I absolutely love this channel. It is the best break down of everything mechanical

[stevenmorris]

Thanks . All your videos are easy to follow. Hopefully any new ones contain louder audio. I can only fully follow with headphones, which isn't a game changer, but would be nice to refer to these lessons anytime any place.
Thanks again.

[georgeokai]

Great video. Capturing the basics in clear and simple terms. thank you

[victormena]

Has to be the most clear and easiest to understand thank you!!!

[prernamishra]

Even though English isn't my first language. I can hear your voice clearly. Thanks for this video.

Best Refrigeration Cycle demonstration I have ever seen! Excellent!

[necopeart]

This is why I love this channel easy to understand

[christopherleathers]

Well done, my friends! This is a phenomenal video!

[raymondmosher]

OMG! your explanation is the best one I have ever seen. I know nothing about refrigeration cycle operation....well now I do Thanks

[rohithsneharaj]

thanks brother...i seen all of you videos and its all very usefull for begginers and even for the technical expertise.looking forward to your new videos...great work

[juandominguez]

I like your videos nicely explained and well spoken, would you in the future or if you have posted a video of VAV boxes or old style pneumatic boxes? that would help allot keep up the good work.

[rahulshinde]

Make a video on induction motor windings and its calculation

[InfinityByTerry]

Thank you soooo much, this is the BEST description I could have asked for!!!

[Uniquely]

Thanks for your tutorial.... very well explained. Much appreciated.

When the refrigerant boils in the evaporater, that's because of the vaccum, right? Because the high side pushes and the low side pulls? Great video, by the way.
