When the temperature of the air passing over the condenser is very low. Ex: Home A/c with out condenser, More heat can be removed if the out door ambient is 60f compared to 90f. Efficiency also increases with this.
The most heat is removed from the refrigerant during the condensing process when it changes from a gas to a liquid state. This typically occurs in the condenser where the high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant releases heat to the surroundings, causing it to condense.
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)
The discharge line is hotter than the condensing refrigerant because it is where the high-pressure, high-temperature refrigerant vapor exits the compressor after being compressed. The condensing refrigerant, on the other hand, is in the process of releasing heat to the surrounding environment in the condenser, leading to a lower temperature.
The state of the refrigerant entering the condenser is a high-pressure, high-temperature, superheated vapor. It has absorbed heat from the evaporator coils and is now ready to release that heat to the surrounding environment as it goes through the condensing process.
Yes, the condenser absorbs thermal energy from the refrigerated space and then rejects it into the condensing medium, typically either air or water. This process helps release the heat that was removed from the refrigerated space when the refrigerant evaporated, allowing the refrigeration cycle to continue effectively.

All refrigeration cycles operate on the theory of changing states of a refrigerant to remove and reject heat. To remove heat, liquid refrigerant is exposed to the air passing through the evaporator, the removed heat causes the liquid refrigerant to boil, or change state liquid to a vapor, consequently, the heat is rejected by removing heat and condensing the vapor back to a liquid.

This is a straight cool 13 SEER condensing unit that uses R410a refrigerant. This is not a heat pump.
Refrigerant is the material that absorbs heat when evaporating and releases heat when condensing. If not for refrigerant in the system, it would not function. Before refrigerant, other more dangerous gases were used to achieve the same goal, such as propane.
A heat pump warms a house by transferring heat from outside to inside. This process involves the refrigerant evaporating at a low temperature outside the house to absorb heat, then condensing at a high temperature inside to release that heat. The cycle continues, transferring heat energy from one location to another.
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.
The key components of a heat pump condensing unit are the compressor, condenser coil, and fan. The compressor pressurizes the refrigerant, the condenser coil releases heat from the refrigerant, and the fan helps dissipate the heat. These components work together to efficiently transfer heat from inside to outside, making the system more energy-efficient.
First step in refrigeration is evaporation. The next step is compression, which raises the pressure of the refrigerant vapor. Condensing is the third step and is where the heat transfer takes place. Expansion is the fourth step and is where the condenser cools the refrigerant even more, to a level below the condensing temperature.
