The 21 pages that link to Vapor-compression refrigeration, each with the reason it gives.

• Evaporative coolingCompared with: Unlike simple evaporative coolers, it can cool below the outdoor wet-bulb temperature.

• RefrigerationBroader topic: This is the dominant cycle in household refrigerators and air conditioners.

• Heat pumpBroader topic: Most building heat pumps use this cycle to move heat between indoor and outdoor coils.

• RefrigerantNarrower topic: Most familiar refrigerants circulate through this cycle’s four main components.

• Air conditioningBroader topic: It powers most air conditioners by transferring indoor heat outdoors.

• Thermodynamic cycleBroader topic: Its repeating component sequence forms the practical cycle behind most refrigerators and air conditioners.

• RefrigeratorBroader topic: This cycle powers most household refrigerators by moving heat through four linked stages.

• Heating, ventilation, and air conditioningRelated: This cycle powers most air conditioners and heat pumps.

• Refrigeration cycleBroader topic: It is the cycle’s most widely used practical implementation.

• EvaporatorNarrower topic: The evaporator is the cycle component that collects heat from the cooled space or fluid.

• Thomas Midgley Jr.Related: CFCs were adopted as refrigerants in this widely used machine cycle.

• Absorption refrigeratorCompared with: It is the dominant alternative and usually uses electricity more efficiently.

• Data center coolingRelated: Many mechanical cooling systems use this cycle when outdoor conditions cannot meet cooling demand.

• Carl von LindeNarrower topic: Linde developed practical machines using this cycle to supply reliable cooling for breweries and industry.

• Evaporative coolerCompared with: Unlike an evaporative cooler, it can cool air below outdoor wet-bulb temperature.

• Lithium bromideCompared with: It achieves cooling with a compressor rather than lithium bromide absorption driven by heat.

• DichlorodifluoromethaneRelated: CFC-12’s thermodynamic properties suited it to this widely used refrigeration cycle.

• VaporBroader topic: The cycle moves heat by repeatedly changing a refrigerant between vapor and liquid.

• 1,1,1,2-TetrafluoroethaneNarrower topic: R-134a became a common working fluid in this cycle.

• ChlorodifluoromethaneRelated: This cycle made HCFC-22 useful in cooling equipment.

• Heat pump and refrigeration cycleBroader topic: This is the cycle’s most common practical form, used in refrigerators and many heat pumps.
