Working principle of condenser

Condenser, a mechanical refrigeration system, is a heat exchanger, can gas or vapor into a liquid, the tubes of the heat, a rapid manner, reached the air in the vicinity of the tube. Condenser process is exothermic process, the condenser temperature is higher.

Many power plants use the turbine condenser exhaust steam is condensed. Refrigeration plant with a condenser to condense the vapor of ammonia and freon refrigeration like. Petrochemical industry with the condenser of hydrocarbons and other chemical vapor condensation. During the distillation, the vapor to a liquid state device is also called a condenser. All condensers heat from the gas or vapor while running away with air cooled condenser.

For some applications, the gas must pass through a long tube (usually coiled into a solenoid), so that the heat loss to the surrounding air, the thermally conductive metal such as copper is commonly used to transport vapor. To improve the efficiency of the condenser fins are often attached to the pipe in order to accelerate heat dissipation. Flat heatsink is made of metal with good thermal conductivity. Usually this type of condenser fan is also used to force air through the fins and go to the tropics. The role of the general principles of refrigeration compressor refrigerator is to compress low pressure steam into high pressure steam, the steam so that the volume decreases, the pressure increases.

The compressor suction pressure from the evaporator to a lower working fluid out of the steam, so that the pressure rise into the condenser, condensed in the condenser to a higher pressure fluid, after throttling the throttle valve, the pressure becomes relatively low liquid into the evaporator, absorbing heat in the evaporator is evaporated into low pressure steam, thereby completing the refrigeration cycle.
