Operating principles of the cooling system (Mitsubishi Pajero 4)

The cooling system consists of compressor, evaporator, condenser, dryer, expansion valve, supercharger, control module and other parts.

The cooling system works as follows. The compressor, driven by the car's engine, sucks in the refrigerant in gaseous form from the evaporator and compresses it in the condenser. The refrigerant in gaseous form under high pressure is passed through the condenser, where it liquefies, and the large amount of heat released in the process is released with the air outside the car. The refrigerant in gaseous form under high pressure then passes through the expansion valve, which acts as a throttle valve and releases the gas pressure. Next, the refrigerant in gaseous form under low pressure passes through the evaporator, transforms into gas and absorbs heat, the cooled air from the evaporator is supplied by supercharging into the car's interior. The refrigerant in gaseous form is then sucked back in by the compressor and compressed in the condenser. The refrigerant continuously circulates in the above-described closed cycle, absorbing heat and cooling the air in the car's interior to the set temperature.
