The condenser is a component of a refrigeration system and belongs to a type of heat exchanger. It can convert gases or vapors into liquids and quickly transfer heat from the pipes to the air near the pipes. The working process of the condenser is an exothermic process, so the temperature of the condenser is always high.
Power plants need to use many condensers to condense the steam emitted by the turbine. In a refrigeration plant, a condenser is used to condense refrigeration vapors such as ammonia and Freon. In the petrochemical industry, condensers are used to condense hydrocarbons and other chemical vapors. The device that converts steam into liquid during the distillation process is also known as a condenser. All condensers operate by taking away the heat of gas or vapor.
In a refrigeration system, the evaporator, condenser, compressor, and throttle valve are the four essential components, among which the evaporator is the equipment for conveying cold energy. The refrigerant absorbs the heat of the cooled object in it to achieve refrigeration. The compressor is the heart, playing the role of inhaling, compressing, and delivering refrigerant vapor. A condenser is a device that releases heat, transferring the heat absorbed in the evaporator along with the heat converted by the compressor to the cooling medium for removal. The throttle valve has a throttling and pressure reducing effect on the refrigerant, while controlling and regulating the amount of refrigerant liquid flowing into the evaporator, and dividing the system into two main parts: the high-pressure side and the low-pressure side. In actual refrigeration systems, in addition to the four major components mentioned above, there are often some auxiliary equipment composed of components such as solenoid valves, distributors, dryers, collectors, fusible plugs, pressure controllers, etc. They are set up to improve the economy, reliability, and safety of operation.
