Engineering · Refrigeration — Cycle
In the vapor-compression refrigeration cycle, heat is absorbed from the cooled space in the:
- ACondenser
- BEvaporator✓ Correct
- CCompressor
- DReceiver
Explanation
Low-pressure liquid refrigerant boils in the evaporator, absorbing heat from the space. The compressor then raises its pressure/temperature, and the condenser rejects that heat to seawater/air, condensing the refrigerant back to liquid.
