Technical Terminology

• Refrigerant

Liquids that can be used to a generate a cooling

effect are known as refrigerants. They have a rela-

tively low boiling-point, indeed so low, that the

warmth from the food stored in the fridge or

freezer can cause the refrigerant to boil and

vaporise.

• Refrigerant Circuit

Closed circulation system that contains the refrig-

erant. The refrigerant circuit comprises primarily

of an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser and

pipe work.

• Evaporator

The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator.

Similar to all other liquids, refrigerant requires

heat to evaporate. This heat is removed from the

interior of the appliance, as a result the interior is

cooled. The evaporator is therefore located inside

the appliance or placed in foam immediately

behind the inner wall and thus not visible.

• Compressor

The compressor looks like a small drum. It is

driven by a built-in electric motor and is mounted

on the base of the appliance at the rear. The task

of the compressor is to draw in vaporised refriger-

ant from the evaporator, to compress it, and to

pass it on to the condenser.

• Condenser

The condenser normally has the form of a grid.

The refrigerant compressed in the compressor is

liquefied in the condenser. During this process,

heat is released to the surrounding air at the sur-

face of the condenser. The condenser is mounted

on the base of the appliance.
