3.
The compressor recirculates the refrigerant throughout the system by drawing the refrigerant gas
as low vapor pressure from the evaporator. Then it compresses the refrigerant and forces it into the
condenser.
4.
The condenser, with the help of its fan motor, removes the refrigerant's heat as it flows through the
condenser. The heat is then released to the outside environment. Consequently, the decrease in
temperature will change the refrigerant from a gaseous to a liquid state.
5.
The capillary tube regulates the amount of refrigerant that is discharged into the evaporator.
6.
The evaporator's serpentine allows the refrigerant to absorb and remove heat from the cooling
compartment.
7.
The drop in temperature inside the cooling compartment is caused by the refrigerant's continuous
circulation through the system. This gas continuously absorbs the heat that exists inside the cooling
compartment and expels it to the outside environment. When the temperature drops, the refrigerant
inside the temperature control's bulb contracts, allowing the diaphragm to open the interrupting
device, which consequently shuts down the compressor and condenser motors.
