The refrigerant which was in the form of gas before entering the condenser, condenses (converts to liquid refrigerant) as a result of the gas being compressed. This condensation will release heat which is partly taken away by the function of the fan (the rotating blades) in order to prevent the compressor from overheating.
In the condenser, the refrigerant gives off heat to the surroundings as it changes from a high-pressure gas to a high-pressure liquid. This heat transfer causes the refrigerant to condense and release the heat energy it absorbed from inside the building, helping to cool down and maintain the desired temperature in the space.
An overcharge of refrigerant in the system would typically result in less subcooling in the condenser. This is because the excess refrigerant can lead to higher pressures in the system, causing the refrigerant to be more volatile and reducing the amount of subcooling that occurs in the condenser.
The function of the condenser is to release heat from the refrigerant, causing it to condense from a gas to a liquid state. This process increases the pressure of the refrigerant.
Condenser back pressure refers to the pressure at which the refrigerant exits the condenser in a cooling system. It is a critical parameter in determining the efficiency of the system and ensuring that the refrigerant is properly condensed back into a liquid state for optimal performance. A high condenser back pressure can indicate issues with the system, such as poor heat transfer or restrictions in the flow of refrigerant.
Inside a condenser, vaporized refrigerant from the compressor is condensed back into a liquid state by releasing heat to the surroundings. This process helps to lower the temperature of the refrigerant so that it can circulate back into the system and cool the area being conditioned.
what happens when refrigerant enters the condenser
Refrigerant should be removed from the condenser outlet when:
The Refrigerant enters the condenser as a high pressured gas, the condenser then condenses that gas and changes it to a liquid form.
In a condenser, the refrigerant transitions from a gas to a liquid state. As the hot, gaseous refrigerant enters the condenser, it releases heat to the surrounding environment, typically through fins or coils. This heat exchange causes the refrigerant to cool and condense into a high-pressure liquid. The resulting liquid refrigerant is then directed to the expansion valve to continue the refrigeration cycle.

This heat transfer causes the refrigerant to condense and release the heat energy it absorbed from inside the building, helping to cool down and maintain the desired temperature in the space.
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.
An overcharge of refrigerant in the system would typically result in less subcooling in the condenser. This is because the excess refrigerant can lead to higher pressures in the system, causing the refrigerant to be more volatile and reducing the amount of subcooling that occurs in the condenser.
In Liquid state
Pretty simple, it condenses the refridgerant into a liquid (giving off energy as heat) the cooling happens later in the evaporator part where the liquid turns back into a gas (taking the energy from surrounding area, thus lowering the temperature. The condenser turns the refrigerant into a liquid by lowering the volume it is occupying, tightening up the molecules turning the refrigerant into a liquid.

The excess heat removed by a condenser is the heat absorbed by the refrigerant in the evaporator plus the heat of compression in the compressor. The condenser releases this heat to the outside environment, allowing the refrigerant to return to its liquid state.
