What is a Condenser and Evaporator in a Refrigeration System?

What is Evaporator in Refrigeration System?

An evaporator is a heat exchanger in the refrigeration system that absorbs heat from the surrounding air or the refrigerated product inside the cooling space by allowing low-pressure, low-temperature refrigerant to evaporate inside its coils— In the absorbing process, the refrigerant changes from a liquid to a gas, cooling the environment.

The heated refrigerant vapor is passed to the compressor to pressurize it before entering the condenser. Read this article to learn more about an evaporator in the refrigeration system.

What is Condenser in Refrigeration System?

Condensers are heat sinks. Check out air-cooled condensers and water-cooled condensers for more details.

When high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant gas enters the condenser coil, a condenser in a refrigeration system releases the absorbed heat from the refrigerant.

It transfers it to the surrounding air or water, so the refrigerant condenses back into a high-pressure liquid.

This process allows the refrigerant to circulate through the system, restarting the cooling cycle.

What is the Difference Between an Evaporator (Coil) and a Condenser (Coil) in a Refrigeration System?

The appearance of an Evaporator (Coil) and a Condenser is different in different refrigeration and air conditioning applications.

Please check the condenser and evaporator, find more types.

In refrigeration systems, it is composed of fins, copper tubes, and fans, and its cooling medium is wind.

In air conditioning systems, both evaporators and condensers are composed of fins, copper tubes, and fans.

In heat pump systems, the evaporator is composed of copper tubes and fins, and its condenser is a box heat exchanger.

In chiller systems, the evaporator is composed of metal coils of different materials, and its cooling medium is mainly water.

But no matter which type of system, the working principle of Evaporator and Condenser is the same (evaporator absorbs heat, condenser dissipates heat).

The appearance of the Evaporator coil and the condenser coil is different in different applications.
