    2. Structural Features and Working Principle 2.1 Main Functions SIC-A air-cooled water chillers include consists of four main components, which are compressor, condenser, thermostatic expansion valve, and evaporator. The system adopts single-stage vapour compressed refrigeration system, which uses refrigerant gas-liquid conversion to absorb and release heat, thus achieving the cooling effect.
  • Page 15 refrigerant from the condenser flows through the fluid reservoir r4 to the filter 5 after drying, which finally reaches the expansion valve 8 via the liquid pipe solenoid valve 6 and refrigerant indicator 7 by drying and impurity filtering. In the F-G process, the temperature of high pressure liquid refrigerant decreases after thermal expansion valve throttling and depressurizing.
