[0059] The refrigerator in the present application generally comprises a box body, a door body and a refrigeration system, wherein at least one refrigeration compartment is formed in the box body, and the refrigeration compartment is opened and closed through the door body to meet the requirements of storing and retrieving items.

[0060] The refrigeration system uses a compressor, condenser, expansion valve and evaporator to perform the refrigeration cycle of the refrigeration equipment. The refrigeration cycle includes a series of processes involving compression, condensation, expansion and evaporation to achieve cooling of the items in the box.

[0061] The low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant enters the compressor, which compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure refrigerant gas and discharges the compressed refrigerant gas. The discharged refrigerant gas flows into the condenser. The condenser condenses the compressed refrigerant into a liquid phase, and the heat is released to the surrounding environment through the condensation process.

[0062] The expansion valve expands the high-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant condensed in the condenser into a low-pressure liquid refrigerant. The evaporator evaporates the refrigerant expanded in the expansion valve and returns the low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant gas to the compressor. The evaporator can cool the items in the box by utilizing the latent heat of evaporation of the refrigerant.
