Morphology
The overall meaning is directly compositional: 'refrigeration' (cooling/freezing) combined with 'system' (a set of interacting components) yields a system for cooling or preserving items. This noun-noun construction is literal and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would understand the phrase.
Etymology
The phrase refrigeration system comes from a simple picture of parts working together to make things cold. The word refrigeration means 'to cool or freeze' and system means 'a group of connected parts', so the phrase names the set of machines that keep food fresh.
