De-superheat Condenser Phase

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

The discharge gas, or hot gas, leaving the compressor contains much more heat than it did when it entered the compressor and is at a much higher temperature. As stated earlier, the suction vapor picks up motor heat and the heat of compression as it undergoes the compression process. The hot gas is called superheated [...]

Refrigerating System Condenser Functions

Thursday, December 15th, 2011

Condensers are the mirror image of the evaporator. Whereas the function of the evaporator is to absorb heat from the refrigerated space, the condenser must reject that heat outside the refrigerated space. In addition to evaporator heat and suction line superheat, the condenser must also reject the heat of compression and motor heat picked up [...]
