The Process of Refrigerant Condensation in a Condenser – Fin-and-Tube Coil
Refrigerant condensation in a fin-and-tube coil condenser is one of the main stages in the refrigeration and air-conditioning cycle. In this section, the refrigerant leaves the compressor as high-pressure, high-temperature superheated vapor and enters the condenser, where it must release its heat to the surrounding environment and change into liquid. This process is essential for the operation of any cooling system. First, the hot vapor refrigerant enters the tubes of the coil, which are usually made of copper or aluminum. Because...
