Figure 7-1. Self-Contained Prechill and Freeze Cycle
Prechill Refrigeration Sequence
No water flows over the evaporator during the prechill. The refrigerant absorbs heat (picked up during the harvest cycle) from the evaporator. The suction pressure decreases during the prechill.
Freeze Cycle Refrigeration Sequence
The refrigerant absorbs heat from water running over the evaporator surface. The suction pressure gradually drops as ice forms.
