(2) Compressor – is an equipment that compresses the refrigerant vapor and causes it to flow in the
refrigeration system.
(3) Condenser – is an equipment that condenses the refrigerant while rejecting heat to the cooling
medium which is either water or air.
(4) Receiver – is an equipment wherein the condensed liquid refrigerant from the condenser is
stored.
(5) Expansion valve – is an equipment that reduces the pressure of the refrigerant, thus lowering the
temperature of the refrigerant entering the evaporator. It also regulates the flow of the
refrigerant to the evaporator.
