FIGURE 1: One way to reduce the amount of extra refrigerant charge needed for condenser flooding is to split the condenser into two separate and identical condenser circuits – note the “summer/winter” ...

This column focuses on condenser splitting. But first, here’s a quick review of condenser flooding before covering condenser splitting to help all better understand both concepts and their advantages ...

This may not sound like much, but such improvement can be very valuable. In this first part of a two-part series, we will examine basic ideas behind the importance of condenser heat transfer, and in ...

The steam condenser of a power plant boiler is a critical heat exchanger in the process. Poor performance due to restricted heat transfer can have a dramatic influence on unit efficiency. And, ...

An HVAC pressure sensor is particularly important in the cooling cycle—which includes compression, condensation, expansion, and evaporation—where it helps regulate refrigerant flow. Proper airflow ...
