HOW TO CHOOSE THE RIGHT AIR-COOLED CONDENSER?

When selecting a refrigeration unit for a new installation, select the unit to provide the desired cooling effect to reduce and/or maintain the temperature of the product. This capacity is typically expressed in Btuh. Unit coolers (evaporators), compressors and metering devices are all selected based on the Btuh requirement of the refrigerant selected. The only major component not selected based on this Btuh requirement is the condenser.

The condenser must be selected for the total heat rejection (THR) of the system, which is the sum of the heat energy absorbed by the evaporator and the additional heat energy added to the refrigerant by the compressor. This additional heat energy is called the heat of compression. The heat of compression varies depending on the compressor design, so the compressor manufacturer&#;s information should be used whenever possible. If this information is not available, many condenser manufacturers will provide a reference table to determine this value.

Manufactured from imported parts, our Two-Stage Air Cooled Piston Condensing Unit ensures maximum output and acquires less space to meet the latest standards. Having Bitzer&#;s two-stage semi-hermetic compressor, our piston condensing unit is highly reliable and of good quality. With the advanced cooling mechanism, this condensing unit is the only choice of all clients in the world.

We are feeling the pride to design quality accredited piston condensing units with top quality refrigeration parts. And we always manufacture and test parts of all Two-Stage Air Cooled Piston Condensing Units carefully to maintain OEM-QUALITY standards.

It is not always necessary to select an air-cooled condenser; many times, condensing units are selected for installation. Condensing units are selected based on the required Btuh capacity, and their condensers are selected by the condensing unit manufacturer. However, systems that use remote air-cooled condensers require a separate condenser selection.

To begin the selection process, first, determine the THR of the system by adding the heat of compression of the compressor (obtained from the compressor manufacturer&#;s or condenser manufacturer&#;s table.) If the condenser is installed above sea level, a correction factor needs to be applied to the THR. The condenser manufacturer will usually provide a table with the required correction factors.

Next, calculate the design temperature difference (TD), which is the design condensing temperature minus the design ambient temperature.

Design TD = condensing temperature &#; ambient temperature

Next, for the type of refrigerant in the system, use the condenser manufacturer&#;s selection chart to choose a condenser based on THR and design temperature differences. Some manufacturers&#; charts may show the capacity of their condensers at a 1°F temperature differential. If necessary, you can determine the TD required at 1°F by dividing the THR by the design condenser TD as follows.

THR/°TD = THR ÷ calculated design condenser TD

If the required THR is between the two condenser capacities on the selection table, select the higher of the two. For example, you are selecting a remote air-cooled condenser for a system with a net cooling demand of 225,000 Btuh. The condenser will be installed at sea level, so there is no need for a height correction factor. It is a low-temperature system with an R-404A semi-hermetic suction cooling compressor with a design evaporative temperature of -20°F, an ambient outdoor temperature of 90°F, and a design condensing temperature of 110°F.

Using this factor, the THR would be 348,750 Btuh (225,000 Btuh x 1.55). Design the condenser TD to be 20°F (110°F &#; 90°F).

Selecting the correct air-cooled condenser for the installation is an important part of ensuring the system operates properly and at maximum efficiency.

When selecting a condensing unit for your refrigeration or HVAC system, several factors must be considered to ensure optimal performance, efficiency, and reliability. The condensing unit is a critical component responsible for removing heat from the refrigerant, making it essential to choose the right unit for your specific application. Here's a comprehensive guide to help you navigate the selection process:

1. Determine Cooling Capacity Requirements:

The cooling capacity of the condensing unit should match the heat load requirements of the application. Calculate the required cooling capacity based on factors such as room size, temperature differential, insulation levels, and anticipated heat gain from equipment and occupants. Oversized or undersized units can lead to inefficiencies, inadequate cooling, or premature wear.

2. Consider Environmental Conditions:

Take into account the environmental conditions in which the condensing unit will operate. Factors such as ambient temperature, humidity levels, altitude, and exposure to corrosive elements can impact the performance and longevity of the unit. Choose a condensing unit with suitable temperature and humidity ratings to ensure reliable operation in varying environmental conditions.

3. Evaluate Energy Efficiency:

Energy efficiency is crucial for minimizing operating costs and reducing environmental impact. Look for condensing units that meet or exceed energy efficiency standards, such as SEER (Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio) for HVAC systems or EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) for refrigeration systems. High-efficiency units may feature variable-speed compressors, advanced refrigerant technologies, and energy-saving controls.

4. Select the Right Refrigerant:

Choose a condensing unit compatible with the appropriate refrigerant for your application. Consider factors such as regulatory requirements, environmental considerations, safety concerns, and long-term availability of refrigerants. Opt for units that use environmentally friendly refrigerants with low global warming potential (GWP) and ozone depletion potential (ODP).

5. Assess Noise Levels:

Noise emissions from the condensing unit can affect occupant comfort, especially in residential or commercial settings. Evaluate the noise levels of the unit and select models equipped with noise-reducing features such as sound-insulated enclosures, vibration dampening mounts, and advanced compressor technology. Choose a location for installation that minimizes noise disturbance.

6. Consider Installation and Maintenance Requirements:

Ensure that the condensing unit is compatible with existing infrastructure and installation requirements. Consider factors such as space constraints, accessibility for service and maintenance, electrical requirements, and ventilation needs. Choose units with user-friendly features that simplify installation, commissioning, and routine maintenance tasks.

7. Evaluate Brand Reputation and Warranty:

Research the reputation of the manufacturer and the reliability of their products. Choose condensing units from reputable brands known for quality craftsmanship, product innovation, and customer support. Additionally, consider the warranty coverage provided by the manufacturer, including parts and labor, and ensure it meets your expectations for long-term reliability and peace of mind.

By carefully considering these factors and consulting with industry professionals, you can select the right condensing unit that meets your specific requirements for cooling capacity, energy efficiency, environmental conditions, noise levels, installation, and maintenance. Investing in the appropriate condensing unit ensures optimal performance, longevity, and cost-effectiveness for your refrigeration or HVAC system.
