The refrigerant is evaporated in the evaporator. Like all fluids, re-
frigerants require warmth in order to be evaporated. Like all fluids,
refrigerants require warmth in order to be evaporated. This is why
the evaporator is located inside the freezer or directly behind the
interior walls and as a result is not visible.
• Compressor
The compressor looks like a small bin. It is powered by a built-in
electric motor. It is the task of the compressor to withdraw vapor-
ous refrigerant from the evaporator, to compress it and feed it to
the condenser.
• Condenser
The refrigerant which has been compressed by the compressor, is
liquefied in the condenser. Thus warmth is released, which is given
off into the surrounding air at the surface of the condenser. The
condenser is therefore attached to the outside of the appliance or
directly behind the exterior sides and is thus not visible.
