The Pump: You Have To Move That Fluid
The refrigeration pump moves the cooling fluid through the refrigeration system. It pushes the fluid through the compressor, condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve. This is the driving force, which powers a refrigerator. Without the pump, the fluid would not circulate once the system reached equilibrium.
When a refrigerator is not running the refrigerant within the system is at room temperature and stationary. When the internal temperature of the refrigerator warms to a set temperature, the pump turns on and begins circulating the refrigerant. It’s first stop immediately after the pump is the compressor.
