The refrigeration system can be defined as a closed system in which the process of absorbing and rejecting heat is performed by flowing a refrigerant in a vapor compression cycle. In its simplest form‚ the refrigeration system consists of five components: the compressor‚ condenser‚ evaporator‚ expansion device‚ and interconnecting piping. The thermostatic
