Introduction
2
Thermodynamic analysis of the system
At point 1 in the diagram, the circulating
refrigerant enters the compressor in a
saturated state.
3) Evaporative condensers
4
Natural convection type
In natural convection type, heat transfer
from the condenser is by buoyancy
induced natural convection and radiation.
5
Forced convection type
In forced convection type condensers, the
circulation of air over the condenser
surface is maintained by using a fan or a
blower.

Water cooled condensers:

Analysis of condensers
The total heat rejected in the condenser, QC is given by:
m is the mass flow rate of refrigerant
Text,o and T ext,i are the inlet and exit temperatures of the external fluid
T ext,o and T ext,i are the inlet and outlet temperatures of the external fluid

Condenser Heat Rejection Ratio (HRR):
= =
For a fixed condenser temperature, as the evaporator temperature decreases the COP
decreases and heat rejection ratio increases.
For fixed evaporator temperature as the condenser temperature increases the COP
decreases hence the heat rejection ratio increases.
