Condenser


1.Air cooled condenser
2.Water cooled condenser

Air cooled condensers (coil condensers ) are used in small units like household refrigerators, deep freezers, water coolers, window air-conditioners, split air-conditioners, small packaged air-conditioners etc. These are used in plants where the cooling load is small and the total quantity of the refrigerant in the refrigeration cycle is small. Air cooled condensers occupy a comparatively larger space than water cooled condensers. 

Air cooled condensers are of two types: 1.natural convection 2.forced convection
In the natural convection type, the air flows over it in natural a way depending upon the temperature of the condenser coil. In the forced air type, a fan operated by a motor blows air over the condenser coil
Water cooled condenser :
Water is used as the heat transfer medium in place of air. Wa­ter flows through a heat exchanger where refrigerants contained in separate piping give up their heat to the water.
