Basic Introduction To Condensers

The condenser is a part of the refrigeration system and belongs to a type of heat exchanger. It can convert gas or vapor into liquid, and transfer the heat in the tube to the air near the tube in a fast way. The working process of the condenser is an exothermic process, so the temperature of the condenser is relatively high.

Power plants use many condensers to condense the steam from the turbines. Condensers are used in refrigeration plants to condense refrigeration vapors such as ammonia and freons. Condensers are used in the petrochemical industry to condense hydrocarbons and other chemical vapors. During distillation, the device that converts vapor into liquid is also called a condenser. All condensers operate by removing heat from the gas or vapor.
