Folie 10

• How does the actual refrigerator
• work?
• The refrigerator has refrigerant,
• which is a gas.
• This gas is liquid,
• when this liquid evaporates,
• absorbes hot into the refrigerator.
• This chemical ebulles
• to environmental temperature
• When the refrigerant is steam, the compressor sends it into the refrigerator
• , and the steam absorbes hot, after that this gas returns to the compressor,
• it gets free hot in the kitchen
• The refrigerant is liquid again, and the cycle stars
• over again.
• The cold is absence of hot
