Condenser Backpressure is the difference between the Atmospheric Pressure and the Vacuum Reading of the Condenser, that is: Backpressure = Atm. Pressure - Condenser Vacuum Pressure Reading Usually, the condenser vacuum pressure is read by a manometer installed at the condenser. The atmospheric pressure is read using a barometer
1.Air Flow 2.Over charged unit 3.Dirty evaporator and condenser coils.4.High amp draw
Yes warm air and low pressure can cause rising air.
Refrigerant enters the condenser as a high pressure vapor. In the condenser, the heated refrigerant is cooled by transferring its heat to the air which passes through the condenser fins, and it changes state to a liquid during this time.
From west to east
It is due to pressure rising due to a bad condenser fan motor, bad capacitor, obstructing of airflowat the condenser, or a dirty condnser.
5 Causes of high head pressure: 1.) Dirty condenser tubes 2.) High temp entering condenser water 3.) Low flow of condenser water 4.) Water bypassing at division plate 5.) Non-condensables in the system
Excessive head pressure.

check condenser
high head pressure and a higher supply temp.
Dirty condenser coils or condenser air restriction
Poor compressor performance should result in low head pressure as the system cools better than the compressor can pump.
water as a coolant
High head pressure is due to the lack of heat removal during the condensing process of the refrigerant cycle. The outdoor condenser is there to transfer the heat out and condense the refirgerant into a liquid. When ever the condenser is dirty or the fan motor is not working right the result is an increase in temp. and since pressure and temp are directly related the refirgerant pressure is increased thus the term high head
For increasing steam turbine efficiency. if vacuum is not maintained then, uncondensable gases and air in condenser will increase the condenser pressure.
