The condenser coil, sometimes coils depending on the model, rests outside of the refrigerator compartment. Refrigerant, in a gas form and very warm, travels to the condenser coil where it cools and condenses into a liquid form as it moves through each pass of the coil. Once in a liquid state, the refrigerant is stored in a reservoir until needed for the refrigeration cycle to begin again.

What is the function of a condenser in refrigerator?

The condenser cools the refridgerant. This turns it from a gas back to a liquid. Absorbing heat from the stored food causes the refridgerant to change from liquid to gas. This 'warm' gas is passed through the condenser, where the heat escapes. As the gas cools, it turns back to liquid for re-circulation. If you touch the coil at the back of a fridge - you'll see what I mean.

Can you install a 3.5 ton condenser on a 3 ton evaporator?

Installing a 3 1/2 ton condenser on a 3 tr evaporator will not function properly. There isn't enough evaporator coil surface area to absorb heat and vaporize refrigerant liquid for its return back to the condenser compressor. What can be done is a 3 ton condenser unit with a 3 1/2 evaporator coil.


Why is the condenser on your freezer so hot?

A refrigerator really doesn't make things cold. A refrigerator absorbs heat. The condenser is releasing the accumulated heat into the room.

Do you have to have a 4 ton coil for a 4 ton ac unit?

The rating is technically a minimum. You could use a larger coil and have it work. But if its a Evaporator coil it will need to be matched on the far end with a similar or larger condenser coil. If the Condenser coil is larger it will probably just take a little more refrigerant.
