Description
It helps facilitate the cooling process by allowing heat exchange between the refrigerant and the surrounding outdoor air, which a fan then dissipates. Located in the outdoor unit, it is essential for the overall function and efficiency of the cooling system.
How it works:
Refrigerant enters the coil: High-pressure, hot refrigerant gas from the compressor enters the condenser coil.
Heat exchange: As outdoor air is blown over the coil’s fins by the condenser fan, heat is transferred from the refrigerant to the air.
Phase change: This heat exchange causes the refrigerant to cool down and condense from a gas into a high-pressure liquid.
Heat expulsion: The heat absorbed indoors is effectively released into the outside atmosphere, allowing the cycle to continue.
Importance and Maintenance:
System efficiency: A clean condenser coil allows for efficient heat transfer, which improves the overall efficiency and performance of your AC system.
Common issues: Debris and dirt can accumulate on the coil, hindering airflow and heat dissipation. Bent fins can also restrict airflow.
Regular cleaning: Keeping the area around the outdoor unit clear and performing annual cleaning of the condenser coil helps prevent efficiency loss and ensures proper operation.
