Compressors are similar to pumps: both increase the pressure on a fluid and both can transport the fluid through a pipe. As gases are compressible, the compressor also reduces the volume of a gas. Liquids are relatively incompressible, so the main action of a pump is to pressurize and transport liquids.
In systems involving heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to condense a substance from its gaseous to its liquid state, typically by cooling it. In so doing, the latent heat is given up by the substance, and will transfer to the condenser coolant. Condensers are typically heat exchangers which have various designs and come in many sizes ranging from rather small (hand-held) to very large industrial-scale units used in plant processes. For example, a refrigerator uses a condenser to get rid of heat extracted from the interior of the unit to the outside air. Condensers are used in air conditioning, industrial chemical processes such as distillation, steam power plants and other heat-exchange systems. Use of cooling water or surrounding air as the coolant is common in many condensers.

What is the difference between stroke volume and swept volume in air compressor?
Stroke volume and swept volume are same in any reciprocating engine/compressor.
Difference between fan blower and compressor?
The pressure rise which is the main difference between fans, compressors and blowers can be stated as follows: ΔP(psig) Fans 2 Blowers 2-10 Compressors >10
When is the most heat removed from the refrigerant in the condensing process?
When the maximum pressure of the refrigerant is achieved in the condensor and the maximum temperature differential is acheived between the condensor coil and the surrounding medium. (air, water, or other)
What is the Difference between an air compressor and gas compressors?
the air compressor: is a device that converts power (usually from an electric motor, a diesel engine or a gasoline engine) into kinetic energy by compressing and pressurizing air, which, on command, can be released in quick bursts The gas compressor: is a mechanical device that increases the pressure of a gas by reducing its volume
What is the difference between static and rotating equipment?
Static equipment is equipment with no moving parts, such as a steam ejector. Rotating equipment has moving parts. An example of rotating equipment is a compressor.
What causes high amps in a air conditioner compressor?
your condensor is clogged up, or your condensor fanmotor is not working, or your compressor struckup due mechanical problem inside of your compressor.
What is difference between dynamic and volumetric compressor?
what is difference between dynamic and volumatic compressor
What are the major parts of refrigeration?
Compressor, condensor, metering device, evaporator.
What does a car condensor do?
It cools the liquid refrigerant after it is compressed from gas to a liquid from the compressor.
What is the difference between an air conditioning compressor and an air conditioning condenser?
The compressor is a pump. Its job is to raise the pressure of the refrigerant and push it around the system. The condensor's job is to cool the pressurized refrigerant so it can condense into a liquid. It usually looks like a bunch of tubing with attached aluminum fins, like the radiator on your car.
What is difference between reciprocating compressor and a rotary compressor?
A rotary compressor has screws or gears that compress a gas. A reciprocating compressor has a piston in a cylinder compressing the gas.
What is difference between Hermetic Rotary Compressor?
this tool is not available
What is the difference between split and window Aircondition?
A window a/c is a self-contained unit. The condensor, evaporator and compressor are all in the unit. A split system is the common central air unit you see on most homes. The evaporator coil is located at the furnace withe the system fan, while the compressor and condensing coil are outside the house. This is a simple explaination, but I .
What is the difference between a BLOWER and COMPRESSOR?
There is no difference. A blower is just a term used for a supercharger. A compressor is any machine that compresses a gas for many different purposes. A supercharger in its many forms is a type of compressor
What is the difference between an oil free compressor an oil flooded compressor?
The main difference between an oil free compressor and an oil flooded compressor is the method of injection to compress the air for mechanical equipment, most common being construction equipment. In the oil free compressor, air is injected with screws while an oil flooded compressor uses oil injected into the holes to create a seal.
What is the difference between a stationary compressor and a portable compressor?
A portable air compressor would be one small enough to carry or has wheels on it so it can be rolled where you need it , a stationary compressor stays where it is installed
Why ac high pressure line is too high?
High pressure line is connected to the output of compressor and contains highpressure and high temperature gas entering the Condensor from top. It is forcefully cooled in condensor and with reduction in tepmerature gas changes its form to liquid which will be collected from bottom of the condensor.
