The slide outlines the refrigeration cycle workflow across four phases: compression (compressor), condensation (condenser), expansion (expansion valve), and evaporation (evaporator). It describes how refrigerant is compressed to high-pressure vapor, condensed to liquid, pressure-reduced for cooling, and evaporated to absorb heat before the cycle repeats.

Speaker Notes
Use a flowchart diagram to visualize the cycle. Explain each step simply for first-year students: vapor compression cycle.
