Hi, Good question and the answer is ( YES! ) as long <<<< as you are not taking up any fancy ideas of using it as a heat pump. Wire it in and set the reversing valve to stay on cool cycle and never reverse to heat and viola. Some units use energized reversing valve during cool and some de-energized. Its easy to find out. Just try it. Hope this helps: Jimiwane
There could be loosened internal mounts (connecting rods, pistons, pins, crankshafts or other related parts) in the compressor causing the banging or knocking noise. A simple call to a technician should resolve the issue.
A heatpump that only has one stage of heat and one stage of cool.
An air condenser takes in the surrounding air(at about 45-50 degree Celsius). The vapor at high pressure enters the condenser and accepts the latent heat of condensation from the hot airthereby rejecting heat to condensing coils. The vapor then becomes liquid.
A heat exchanger with straight tubes in a shell that can normally be mechanically cleaned
If you are not getting any cool air, the compressor may need recharging or replacing. You will need to call a repairman.
This is a straight cool 13 SEER condensing unit that uses R410a refrigerant. This is not a heat pump.
Yes
cool
The compressors are basically the same . Very simply put with out getting to technical is what makes a heat pump a heat pump is a reversing valve that changes the direction the refrigerant travels in lines leading to and from the condensing unit and to the coil, without changing direction of flow in they compressor. You should always check with the manufacture before replacing an unlike compressor for compatibility.
steam
No, the condenser does not absorb thermal energy from refrigerated space and reject it into the condensing medium. The condenser rejects heat. The evaporator absorbs heat.
Sounds like your thermostat was stuck. You should replace that before it happens again.
heat released from condensing water vapor
You need a heat source, a condensing tube and flasks.
need to change condensing units. from cooling only to heat pump
Yes. As long as the capacity, efficiency, and refrigerant are the same.
Condensing (Gas>>Liquid), freezing (Liquid>>Solid)
