Condensing Unit

A condensing unit is a device that is used to condense a gas or vapor into a liquid. It is composed of a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator. The compressor compresses the refrigerant gas, which is then passed through the condenser where it is cooled and condensed into a liquid. The liquid then passes through the expansion valve, where it is reduced in pressure and allowed to expand and evaporate. The evaporator then absorbs the heat from the surrounding air, cooling it and allowing the refrigerant to condense back into a liquid. The condensing unit is a vital component of any air conditioning system, as it is responsible for cooling the air and providing a comfortable environment.
