What is a condenser? Many people have air conditioners but are not aware of how or what makes them work. A condenser is naturally one component of an air conditioner. Either you have an outdoor air conditioner or a window unit air conditioner your air conditioner contains a condenser.
Condensers are used in outdoor air conditioning systems as well as heat pump systems. Condensers in an air conditioning unit have very few controls. They will have an on and off switch. Occasionally these air conditioners will also have a brown out option. This option shuts down the compressor when the electrical current is low.
A condenser is naturally a heat exchanger. It compresses refrigerants into a hot gas to then harden them into a liquid. A condenser is a major component in a air conditioning or heat pump unit. It moves air over the coils to facilitate the transfer of heat.
In a heat pump unit the condenser has a few more features. It will have a reverse valve that allows the unit to switch back and forth in the middle of air conditioning and heating. Even when the unit is heating, it uses the condenser for defrosting the coils. If the coils become layered with frost it will succeed the units effectiveness this is defrosted when the reverse valve switches to air conditioning mode to move the hot gases through the coils melting the built up ice. It will automatically switch back to heating mode once the ice is cleared to once again heat the home.
It is very prominent no matter what type of unit you have to prevent the blockage of the condenser. If the condenser becomes block it can succeed the units efficiency or even cause the until to thoroughly fail. For this suspect it is one of the most prominent components of a cooling or heating system. A condenser allows the maximum airflow to the unit.
