What is a condensing unit?
The condensing unit is a device used for a condensing substance back into its liquid form by cooling. The condenser unit is technically the type of heat exchanger and its size varies from extremely small equipment to large units of industrial size. Condensation units are also incredibly diverse in application, using refrigerators, air conditioning units, chemical reactions and especially steam turbine power plants. Water is usually used as a coolant in the condensation process, but other forms of coolers have also been successfully used. The typical steam cycle consists of preheating water and brought to the boiling point, when it is evaporated or overheated to high -pressure steam. This steam comes to a series of turbines, where after walking several cycles condense back into the water. The condensation process is an important part of the steam cycle because it allows the steam plant to recycle steam that would otherwise be unnecessary. For this reason, capacitors help increase efficiencySteam power plants by reducing water requirements.
Usually surface capacitors consist of shell and tube construction. This is where cold water passes through a series of tubes in a metal shell filled with a depleted steam. The cold water brings the pipes to a relatively low temperature, which then cools the steam inside the shell. After steam condensation, the water is collected under the unit in a hot hole. For smaller steam applications, the condensing unit can take a form similar to the automobile radiator.
Another common type of condensation unit is the condensing unit of the air conditioning. This is only one part of the three basic components in the air conditioner. First, the condensing unit condenses the radiator steam into the liquid mold. Secondly, like a pump, the compressor creates a stable flow of refrigerant liquid, where it moves to the third phase. This third phase consists of a fan or blower that firesCold air formed from the cooling effect of the flowing coolant.
condensing units are also commonly used in chemical applications. However, the laboratory condensing unit differs significantly from what could be seen in the steam power plant or in air conditioning. Unlike conventional heat exchangers, laboratory and chemical capacitors consist of a large glass tube through which the water flows. In the middle of this larger tube is another smaller tube that enters hot steam. At the entrance, the cooling effect of the water surrounds the steam to the temperature at which it can condense.
use for laboratory capacitors is water distillation. Water contains many dirt, which are undesirable in heating and chemical processes. When the water is heated in which the water is evaporated, it can be behind. This is very undesirable in steam power plants because these bearings can lead to corrosion. In chemical applications, the presence of impurities can also lead to an undesirable chemical reaction.
Another type of condensation unit is known as a direct contact capacitor. In this type comes gas and coolant in direct contact. When used, combined liquids and gas are identical in various forms such as a combination of water and steam.
