What is a condenser and how does it work?

The condenser is one of the main heat exchange equipment of the refrigeration unit. Its task is to cool and condense the high-pressure superheated refrigerant vapor discharged from the compressor into a saturated liquid or even a supercooled liquid by releasing heat to the ambient medium.
According to the different cooling media and cooling methods used in the condenser, there are three types: water-cooled, air-cooled and water-air cooled.
