I-condenser isebenza ngokudlulisa igesi ngepayipi elide (ngokuvamile eligoqekile libe yi-solenoid), okuvumela ukushisa ukuthi kuphume emoyeni ozungezile. Izinsimbi ezifana nethusi zifudumeza kahle futhi zivame ukusetshenziselwa ukuthutha umusi. Ukuze kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kahle kwe-condenser, ama-heat sink anokusebenza okuhle kakhulu kokuhambisa ukushisa avame ukungezwa emapayipini ukuze kwandiswe indawo yokushabalalisa ukushisa ukuze kusheshiswe ukushabalalisa ukushisa, futhi i-convection yomoya isheshiswa ngumuntu othanda ukushisa ukuze kususwe ukushisa. Umgomo wokuqandisa wefriji jikelele ukuthi i-compressor icindezela indawo yokusebenza kusukela ekushiseni okuphansi kanye negesi ephansi ibe yigesi eshisa kakhulu kanye nengcindezi ephezulu, bese iqina ibe yigesi eshisa kakhulu kanye nengcindezi ephezulu nge-condenser. Ngemva kokuba i-throttle valve icindezelwe, iba yi-temperature ephansi kanye nengcindezi ephansi. I-temperature ephansi kanye ne-liquid working medium ithunyelwa ku-evaporator, lapho i-evaporator imunca ukushisa bese iphuma iye ku-temperature ephansi kanye nengcindezi ephansi umusi, ethunyelwa ku-compressor futhi, ngaleyo ndlela iqedela umjikelezo wokuqandisa. Uhlelo lokuqandisa olucindezela umusi olunesigaba esisodwa lwakhiwe yizingxenye ezine eziyisisekelo: i-compressor yokuqandisa, i-condenser, i-throttle valve kanye ne-evaporator. Zixhunywe ngokulandelana ngamapayipi ukuze zakhe uhlelo oluvaliwe. I-refrigerant ijikeleza njalo ohlelweni, ishintsha isimo sayo futhi ishintshanisa ukushisa nomhlaba wangaphandle.
