As the high pressure refrigerant
releases its heat to outside, it turns into
liquid.

Dryer It contains moisture absorbent that
absorbs the moisture in circulation

Evaporator Low pressure 2-phase refrigerant
absorbs heat and turns into low
pressure gas.

* When the low pressure liquid refrigerant turns into gas on the evaporator, the evaporation occurs
throughout the entire case from inlet to outlet, causing the noise of owing liquid. Noise may or may
not occur depending on the load condition inside the case. This is not a product failure.

6-2-1. Overview of Refrigerant
Name of
refrigerant
Properties ODP* GWP** Remarks
R134a
The refrigerant does not contain chlorine, which is
recognized as the cause of ozone layer destruction,
and GWP level is signicantly lower than that of the
previous R12 (GWP: 15300).
