Condenser project inputs
A condenser rejects heat while the refrigerant or process medium condenses. Provide refrigerant or medium, condensing conditions, required heat rejection, airflow or cooling-side data and the installation envelope.
- Refrigerant or working medium
- Condensing and ambient conditions
- Required heat-rejection duty
- Airflow or cooling-side flow
Evaporator project inputs
An evaporator absorbs heat while the refrigerant evaporates. Provide cooling duty, refrigerant, evaporating condition, entering and leaving air or fluid data, airflow and any defrost or drainage requirement.
- Cooling duty
- Refrigerant and evaporating condition
- Entering and leaving air or fluid data
- Defrost, coating or drainage needs
Inputs common to both
Both project types require envelope, circuiting, connections, materials, allowable pressure drop, testing, quantity and documentation requirements.
- Overall dimensions and mounting
- Circuit and connection layout
- Materials and coating
- Testing, packing and quantity
Frequently asked questions
Project questions
Can a photograph confirm whether a coil is a condenser or evaporator?
Not reliably. The function and operating data must be confirmed before the product is classified for quotation.
Do condenser and evaporator quotations use the same inputs?
They share mechanical inputs, but the thermal and operating data differ because one rejects heat and the other absorbs heat.
