During the refrigeration cycle, which component is responsible for absorbing heat from the indoor environment?

The evaporator coil plays a crucial role in the refrigeration cycle by absorbing heat from the indoor environment. When refrigerant flows through the evaporator coil, it is in a low-pressure state and evaporates due to the warmer indoor air circulating over it. This evaporation process requires heat, which the evaporator coil absorbs from the air, effectively lowering the indoor temperature.

As the refrigerant absorbs heat, it changes from a liquid to a vapor, moving towards the compressor to continue the cycle. This absorption of heat is essential for maintaining a comfortable indoor climate, making the evaporator coil a critical component in commercial air conditioning systems. The other components, while essential in their own right, serve different functions: the compressor circulates the refrigerant, the condenser coil releases the absorbed heat outside, and the ammeter measures electrical current, but it does not play a role in the refrigeration cycle itself.
