Air Cooled Condensing Unit

An air cooled condensing unit is a type of refrigeration system that utilizes air to cool the condensing unit. This type of system is commonly used in commercial and industrial applications, as it is an efficient and cost-effective way to cool large spaces. The air cooled condensing unit works by using a compressor to pressurize the refrigerant and then passing it through a condenser coil. The coil is cooled by air, which is drawn in from outside the unit and then expelled through a fan. This process of cooling the refrigerant is known as condensation, and the resulting liquid is then passed through an expansion valve, which reduces the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant, allowing it to evaporate and absorb heat from the surrounding environment. The evaporated refrigerant is then passed back through the compressor, where the cycle begins again. Air cooled condensing units are reliable and energy efficient, making them a popular choice for many commercial and industrial applications.
