Question: An ideal vapour compression refrigeration cycle is designed to operate with an evaporator pressure of 300 kPa and a condenser pressure of 1200 kPa. If the refrigerant is R-410A, and assuming isentropic compression, which component would experience the largest change in refrigerant enthalpy?
Answer options: ✅ Evaporator
- Compressor
- Condenser
- Expansion valve
Correct answer: Evaporator
Explanation: In an ideal vapour compression cycle, the largest enthalpy change responsible for cooling occurs in the evaporator where the latent heat of vaporization is absorbed from the refrigerated space.
