What is the working principle of a condenser?
1 Answers
The working principle of a condenser is that gas dissipates heat to the surrounding air through a long tube. Metals such as copper, which have strong thermal conductivity, are often used to transport steam. To improve the efficiency of the condenser, heat-dissipating fins with excellent thermal conductivity are often attached to the pipes to increase the heat dissipation area, thereby accelerating heat dissipation and using a fan to enhance air convection to carry away the heat. In a refrigeration system, the evaporator, condenser, compressor, and throttle valve are the four essential components. Among them, the evaporator is the device that delivers cooling capacity. The refrigerant absorbs heat from the cooled object to achieve refrigeration. The compressor acts as the heart, responsible for sucking in, compressing, and delivering refrigerant vapor.
