Best Answer

A refrigerator works by evaporating the coolant inside the refrigerator thereby absorbing heat. The evaporated coolant is pumped outside of the refrigerator and compressed to make it liquefy and give up its heat then returned to be evaporated again.

What are the difference between package unit and split unit?

A package unit contains all elements of the refrigeration cycle in one system. The 4 major components include: A compressor, condenser, metering device, and a evaporator. All elements are needed to complete the cycle of refrigeration. As for a split unit, All elements of the refrigeration cycle are used, however the condenser is located outside of the facility, while the evaporator is located inside of the facility. To better understand the difference in question, you must understand the job of each component in the refrigeration cycle. For example, a condenser is normally used to reject heat or cold air from a building, while a evaporator normally supplies heat or cold air to the building.

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.
