Refrigeration



Refrigeration is the process of removing heat from an enclosed space, or from a substance, and rejecting it elsewhere for the primary purpose of lowering the temperature of the enclosed space or substance and then maintaining that lower temperature. To satisfy the Second Law of Thermodynamics, mechanical work must be performed to accomplish this.
