What is the Coefficient of Performance (COP) in refrigeration?** A12: COP is a measure of a refrigeration system's efficiency, calculated as the ratio of cooling provided to the energy consumed. #### Keywords: vapor compression refrigeration, how refrigeration works, refrigeration cycle, compressor, condenser, expansion valve, evaporator, refrigerants, refrigeration efficiency, cooling technology, HVAC, air conditioning, industrial refrigeration #### Hashtags: #Refrigeration #VaporCompression #CoolingTechnology #HowItWorks #HVAC #AirConditioning #Refrigerants #EnergyEfficiency #IndustrialRefrigeration
