Refrigeration Cycle
The compressor continuously draws refrigerant vapor from the cooler, at a rate set by the amount of guide vane opening. As the compressor suction reduces the pressure in the cooler, the remaining refrigerant boils at a fairly low temperature (typically 38 to 42 F [3 to 6 C]). The energy required for boiling is obtained from the water flowing through the cooler tubes. With heat energy removed, the water becomes cold enough for use in an air conditioning circuit or process liquid cooling.
After taking heat from the water, the refrigerant vapor is compressed. Compression adds still more heat energy and the refrigerant is quite warm (typically 98 to 102 F [37 to 40 C]) when it is discharged from the compressor into the condenser.
Relatively cool (typically 65 to 90 F [18 to 32 C]) water flowing into the condenser tubes removes heat from the refrigerant and the vapor condenses to liquid.
The liquid refrigerant passes through orifices into the FLASC (Flash Subcooler) chamber
