The above-mentioned figure is a schematic diagram of the Vapor Compression Refrigeration Cycle.

The highest temperature (T2) of the refrigerant during the cycle occurs after compression.

  • Process 1-2: isentropic compression
  • Process 2-3: constant pressure heat rejection
  • Process 3-4: iso-enthalpic expansion
  • Process 4-1: constant pressure heat absorption
