What goes into making a refrigeration system?
A cooling system whether it is used for refrigeration (cooling, freezing), air conditioning or heat pumps is made up of three components to make up a cooling circuit (see our pages on How A Fridge Works here for more). Installers have to select the right component for the system and Service and maintenance engineers have to check the correct operation and replace components if they go wrong.
In this section, we look at examples from manufacturers showing how those components work and what options are available
