Knowing Condensing Units - The Basics

Are you looking for condensing units for your SME? Worried about technical knowledge? Do not worry! You need not have to be technically sound or an engineer to know which equipment to buy and implement in your refrigeration system! Just having the basic knowledge about each piece of equipment and the things to look for while talking to sellers and consultants about your project is enough to make the right decision. So let us take a look at what condensing units do and some of the basic aspects of the system below.

What are condensing units?

Condensing unit is one of the most essential parts of equipment in the entire refrigeration system. Its function is to reject the entire heat of the system starting from the heat absorbed by the evaporator to the heat produced by the energy entrance to the compressor. In the systems where heat transfer is involved, a condenser is a device that is used for condensing a substance from its gaseous state to its liquid state.


 

Condensing units transform refrigerant gas from its gaseous state to liquid via condensation for keeping the refrigeration cycle continuing. During this process, latent heat gets abandoned by the substance and transferred to the surrounding environment.

Moreover, a condensing unit is a great saver for your refrigeration system as it recycles the refrigerant gas and prevents having to consume and spend this substance each time you want to cool down your products.

Depending upon the application there are a variety of condensers in terms of designs and sizes. For example, a refrigerator uses a condenser for removing the heat extracted from the interior of the unit and send it to the outside. Condensers are often used in heat exchange systems such as steam power stations, distillation, and likewise.

What makes a Condensing Unit?

Condensing units are typically used in HVACR central systems i.e. heating, ventilation, air conditioning, and refrigeration. Usually, condensing units are composed of the following:

  • A heat exchange sector for cooling and condensing vapor coming from the liquid refrigerant.
  • A compressor for elevating the pressure of the refrigerant and moves it.
  • A ventilator for cooling down the interior refrigerant by moving the outdoor air through the exchanger.

Where should a condensing unit be located?

There are some condensing units that are located outside the building which is to be cooled off. Here, cooling is done with the help of tubes that go from the unit to the building. One tube is for incoming refrigerant steam and the other one is for eliminating the liquid refrigerant out of the unit. An electric power source is required for the compressor and the ventilator within the unit.


 

Now that you got some basic idea about the condensing units, you can now purchase one for your SME without any hesitation.
