In a refrigeration system, what temperature does the condensation temperature refer to?
Thread Content
Graduates from the equipment engineering field who are just getting to know chillers in utility systems would like to ask their seniors: in a refrigeration cycle using an evaporative condenser, there is one condensation temperature resulting from evaporation cooling, and another is the designed condensation temperature of 38°C. What temperature does this 38°C refer to? I haven’t been able to find it. I would also appreciate it if the seniors could share their guidance; thank you so much!
The condensation temperature generally refers to the temperature at which the compressed medium changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state as it passes through the final cooler after being compressed multiple times by the compressor. Of course, this temperature varies depending on the type of medium; for example, it differs for ammonia and propylene
Hello, I know that the condensation temperature is the temperature at which the compressed medium changes from a gaseous state to a liquid state. However, I saw in a technical document that the condensation temperature for evaporative cooling is 33°C, while the designed condensation temperature is 38°C. I haven’t been able to find any other place where a condensation temperature exists aside from that of evaporative cooling; I would appreciate your guidance! Thank you.
It should be the condensation temperature at the compressor outlet pressure.
