What is an Air Conditioning Condenser?
An air conditioning condenser is a vital part of an air conditioner responsible for cooling vapors coming from a compressor. The air conditioning condenser is not only used in traditional air conditioners, but also refrigerators and almost any other type of device that delivers refrigerant, or cooled air, to another location. Sometimes, this portion of the air conditioner is confused with the outside unit in a split system. The air conditioning condenser looks very much like a coil, or perhaps a radiator. Its job is to take hot gaseous vapor coming from the condenser, and cool it back into a liquid form. It does this through a process called condensation. Water vapor in the air, which is a gas, goes through a similar process when it becomes liquid dew, commonly seen in the morning. The air conditioning condenser cools the gas to a certain point to create the same effect.
