3. REFRIGERATION :
The process of producing and
maintaining the temperature of a
given space or substance below the
surrounding temperature.
Its unit is Tonne (TR).

7. VAPOUR COMPRESSIONSYSTEM :
It works on the principle that
evaporation causes cooling.
It consist of four processes :
1. Compression,
2. Condensation,
3. Expansion,
4. Vapourisation.

9. REFRIGERANTS :
A refrigerant is a substance or mixture, usually
a fluid, used in a refrigeration cycle.
And also it is used as a medium of heat transfer
through phase change.
Some refrigerants are :
1. R-717 (ammonia),
2. 2. R-22,
3. R-134a (Tetrafluroethene),
4. R-744 (Carbon dioxide),
