Condensers make use of a condensing medium, such as air or water, that absorbs heat from a vapor. As the vapor loses its heat to the condensing medium, its temperature falls to the saturation point, and it condenses to a liquid.
Air Cooled
Air cooled condensers use air as the cooling medium. They are the most used type of condensers.
General Information
Air cooled condensers use circulating air to cool hot gases. In most large models, a fan is used to either push or pull the air through the condenser. Smaller models, however, usually depend on gravity to circulate the air.
