Refrigerant Circuit (Refrigeration Cycle, Cooling Cycle) with a Hermetic Reciprocating Compressor
How does a refrigerator work?
The Secop K-Series (formerly KAPPA) compressor - the heart of the refrigerator - pumps the refrigerant through the refrigerating circuit with about 3,000 revolutions per minute.
With its innovative and environmentally favourable K-Series compressors for R600a, Secop belongs to one of the leading manufacturers of hermetic compressors world-wide.
