Difference between Refrigerator and Heat Pump
The differences between a refrigerator and a heat pump are as follows,
What is Bell Coleman Cycle? Process, Derivation, Diagram & COP
The ideal reversed Carnot cycle is modified to obtain Bell Coleman cycle. This is done to improve the COP of reversed Carnot cycle either by reducing the temperature of hot body or increasing the temperature of cold body. The figure 1 shows the components of Bell Coleman cycle.

What is a Carnot Engine? Derivation, Diagram & Efficiency
Carnot engine cycle is a theoretical engine cycle it doesn’t have any practical applications. But it helps in determining the theoretical efficiency of practical engines while designing.
What is an Air Cooler? Working Principle, Parts & Diagram
The air cooler works on the principle of refrigerant. The refrigeration used is simple water. Small-sized coolers are called ‘room coolers’, which use blowers. Big size coolers are called ‘desert coolers’, which use exhaust fans.
What is Fridge Voltage Stabilizer (Refrigerator Stabilizer)? Working & Block Diagram
In India, however, the specified voltage for domestic use is 230 V but more commonly this voltage fluctuates. It is sometimes very low or very high.
What is Water Cooler? Working, Diagram & Types
Function: Water coolers are used to give cold water having temperature, around 8°C to 16°C for drinking purpose.
Types of Water Cooler
The three types of water coolers are
- Storage type
- Instantaneous type
- Bottle type.
What is Ice PIant? Working, Diagram & Construction
Ice plant consists of two circuits: Primary circuit and Secondary circuit.
In primary circuit, ammonia is used as refrigerant, whereas in case of secondary circuit, brine solution is used as refrigerant. As ammonia (primary refrigerant) is toxic in nature, so it should not come in direct contact with the water. Therefore, a secondary refrigerant (brine solution) is used. This brine solution is circulated around the galvanized iron cans containing the water circulating with the help of brine pump. Brine solution takes the heat from the water to convert it into ice. This heat absorbed by brine solution is ejected to primary refrigerant (ammonia) in the heat exchanger.

What is Cold Storage? Working, Diagram, Construction & Advantages
Cold storage is a building designed to store certain goods, like foods of perishable nature. The inside space of cold storage is maintained at required temperature and relative humidity.
