Description Refrigerators are commonly used to store food and drink that is needing to be kept cold. This is done by using a cooling system, which is generally a compressor and evaporator. This system compresses the refrigerant in a high-pressure side and sends it to a low-pressure side where it changes to a liquid. Then the heat is removed, and the liquid is converted back to a gas. When the gas is returned to the high-pressure side, it gives up its heat, and the cycle begins again.
