In flooded chiller systems , it’s common for the condenser to have a higher heat transfer capacity than the evaporator. This difference stems from the physical characteristics of the refrigeration cycle. The condenser is essential for transforming refrigerant from a gas to a liquid state, releasing both the heat absorbed by the evaporator and the additional heat generated during the compression process. Key Reasons Behind Higher Condenser Heat Transfer 1. Handling Additional Heat from Compression After the refrigerant absorbs heat from its surroundings in the evaporator, it flows into the compressor, where it's compressed into a high-temperature, high-pressure gas. This compression step adds extra heat to the refrigerant, which the condenser must release. Therefore, the condenser not only dissipates the heat absorbed by the evaporator but also manages the additional heat from compression, resulting in a higher heat transfer demand. 2. Enhanced Heat Transfer Area and Design ...
