The Carnot refrigeration cycle is the idealized theoretical cycle, based on the Carnot power generation cycle. It considers perfect components, without irreversibilities, and isothermal heat exchange processes, with only phase changes. Although it does not exist in practice, it is from the Carnot refrigeration cycle that we can obtain the vapor compression refrigeration cycle. In addition, the Carnot cycle is the reference with maximum possible performance under the pressure and temperature conditions of the cold and hot sources. Let's reverse the Carnot power cycle to understand the Carnot refrigeration cycle, which components are necessary and the temperature-entropy diagram. www.cienciastermicas.com
