INTRODUCTION :- Vapour Compression Refrigeration Cycle is a very widely used cycle. The main object is to demonstrate Refrigeration system with basic components and necessary controls. The practical working is demonstrated here and also a considerable amount of theoretical analysis and performance can be studied. SPECIFICATIONS 1.
