The Working and Applications of an Air Cooled Condensing Unit Explained
An air cooled condensing unit is an essential part of refrigeration and cooling systems. They are better than water-cooled condensers that rely on water for cooling. Air-cooled condensing units remove heat using ambient air. In this blog, we are going to explore the working principle and applications of air-cooled condensing units. Working Principle Air-cooled condensing units work on the principle of heat exchange. Steam Injection Refrigeration starts with the compressor. In the compressor, the refrigerant is compressed to a high-pressure and high-temperature gas. Heat Transfer Then, the hot refrigerant gas enters the condenser coil. The condenser coil consists of metal tubes that are designed to transfer heat efficiently. Air Cooling When the refrigerant loses heat, it converts from gas to liquid. As the heat of condensation is removed, the refrigerant reaches a fully liquid state and then exits the condenser. Condensation Finally, the refrigerant is further cooled ...
