“Saturation Temperature” – can be defined as the temperature of a liquid, vapor, or a solid, where if any heat is added or removed, a change of state takes place.
- A change of state transfers a large amount of energy.
- At saturation temperature, materials are sensitive to additions or removal of heat.
- Water is an example of how saturation property of a material, can transfer a large amount of heat.
- Refrigerants use the same principles as ice. For any given pressure, refrigerants have a saturation temperature.
- If the pressure is low, the saturation temperature is low. If pressure is high, saturation temperature is high.
