Passage 1Mechanical refrigerating system can be divided into two classes:the direct one and the indirect one.In the former,the refrigerant directly takes away the heat from the substance to be cooled.That is to say the heat exchange takes place directly between the surrounding substance and the refrigerant,while in the latter,cooling liquids,such as cold brine and water,are employed as a medium to carry out the transfer of heat between the refrigerant and the surrounding substance to be cooled.
In the refrigerating system,the refrigerant becomes after the heat exchange takes place.
