    Study Notes

    Condenser in Refrigeration System

    • The primary medium for removing heat from the hot vapor refrigerant in a condenser is air or water.

    Function of Condenser

    • The function of a condenser in a refrigeration system is to condense the hot vapor refrigerant into a liquid state.

    Heat Source for Hot Vapor Refrigerant

    • The heat source for the hot vapor refrigerant in a condenser is the heat absorbed by the refrigerant from the refrigerated space.

    Cooling Tower in Refrigeration System

    • The purpose of a cooling tower in a refrigeration system is to dissipate heat from the condenser to the atmosphere.

    Types of Cooling Mediums

    • The types of cooling mediums used in condensers are air, water, and a combination of both (air-cooled and water-cooled).

    Primary Function of Condenser

    • The primary function of a condenser in a refrigeration system is to reject heat from the hot vapor refrigerant to the surrounding air or water.

    Cooling Tower Function

    • The function of a cooling tower in a refrigeration system is to cool the warm water coming from the condenser.

    Cooling Medium in Water-Cooled Condenser

    • The cooling medium typically used in a water-cooled condenser is water.

    Finned Tubes in Condenser

    • The purpose of finned tubes in a condenser is to increase the heat transfer area, allowing for more efficient heat transfer between the refrigerant and the cooling medium.
