What do you know about condensers? In short, a condenser is a cooling device, but what is the use of this device? Join us to take a closer look at the features and different types of condensers.



 

types of condensers

There are three other condensers used in HVAC systems:

 

 

  • Water-cooled
  • Air-cooled
  • Evaporative

 

Air-cooled Condenser

Condensers of this type use air as the external fluid to reject the heat from the system. Air-cooled condensers usually have copper coils where refrigerant flows in. But this is not the whole story; this type is subcategorized into two subsets: natural convection and forced convection.

What is a condenser?

In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a gaseous substance into a liquid state through cooling. In so doing, the latent heat is released by the substance and transferred to the surrounding environment. Condensers are used for efficient heat rejection in many industrial systems. Condensers can be made according to numerous designs, and come in many sizes ranging from rather small (hand-held) to very large (industrial-scale units used in plant processes). For example, a refrigerator uses a condenser to get rid of heat extracted from the interior of the unit to the outside air.read more
