Condensers

About Condensers

Condensers are refrigeration devices that accept vaporized refrigerant from an evaporator and then compress and liquefy it for use in the system. There are generally two types of condensers, an air conditioning condenser and a refrigeration condenser. An air conditioning condenser is used to convert hot and high pressure refrigerant gas to a subcooled liquid. A heat exchange condenser located in a refrigeration system is known as a refrigeration condenser. Evaporators are the devices used for processing waste water. Heating and cooling are the two main aspects of how condensers function. Heat loss and heat gain are the processes by which heat can be exchanged from the surroundings. Leaking and losing of heat at a specific low temperature in the region is known as heat loss whereas the quantity of heat that needs to be removed to maintain indoor comfort on a specific warm day is known as heat gain. Central heating stands for heating of a region from a central source. Central air conditioning is the process by which the region is cooled at the time of humid temperatures. Other condensers are commonly available.

Condensers consist of a condenser coil, compressor, fan, and control. In an air conditioning condenser the refrigerant is compressed and run through a series of tubes to remove as much heat as possible. The refrigerant is then piped to an evaporator coil as a warm liquid. Expansion of the compressed liquid causes it to cool, and as the air passes over the coil, heat is extracted. The cool liquid becomes a cool gas when it gathers heat from the air, and is drawn back to the compressor to start the procedure again. As the air passes over the evaporator coil and cools, moisture in the air condenses and drains off as condensation. Some of the specifications of a refrigeration condenser include BTU rating, weight, depth, width, and height. Evaporators include a heat source, material of construction, and capacity (gal/hr). Central heating systems are generally comprised of a boiler (to heat the water), piping (to circulate the water), thermostats, and radiators (to deliver the heat). A central air conditioning consists of a thermostat, stabilizer, condenser, and compressor. Condensers are manufactured and designed to meet most industry specifications.
