Le diagramme d’indicateur, appelé aussi «diagramme de Watt», permet de déterminer le travail indiqué du compresseur frigorifique. C’est le travail que le compresseur effectue sur le fluide frigorigène pendant la durée d’un cycle complet, c’est-à-dire pendant les courses aller et retour du piston. 2, record 2, French, - diagramme%20d%26rsquo%3Bindicateur

En thermodynamique, la notion du "cycle" découle de l'observation(et de l'analyse) d’une série de transformations physiques successives que subit un corps repassant par le même état; c'est-à-dire, que ce corps reprend exactement le même volume(v), la même pression(p), et, par voie de conséquence, la même température(T). On dit alors qu'un tel corps a parcouru un cycle fermé. En représentant ce parcours sur un diagramme pv, par exemple, on obtiendrait une courbe fermée(...) 1, record 3, French, - cycle%20ferm%C3%A9
