Pendahuluan
A kondensor is an indispensable penukar panas widely used in HVAC equipment, refrigerators, power stations, and industrial equipment to remove the heat and convert the vapor into liquid. It is an important part of the vapor absorption system, heat pump system, and solar water heater, which can ensure the stable operation of the system, save energy, and improve the overall efficiency of the equipment.
Apa itu Kondensor?
A kondensor is a heat exchange device that absorbs the latent heat of vapor (refrigerant or steam) and makes the vapor condense into a liquid. The heat absorbed by the kondensor is usually transferred to the cooling medium (air or water), and it plays an important role in the cooling cycle, power plant, and industrial production.
Prinsip Kerja
- Hot vapor enters the kondensor and flows through the tube bundle (channel) in the form of high-pressure and high-temperature gas.
- The metal surface (tube or plate) in the kondensor conducts heat from the hot vapor to the cooling medium (air or water) for heat dissipation, and the kondensor constantly absorbs the latent heat of vapor.
- The kondensor absorbs the latent heat from the high-pressure vapor and cools the vapor to its saturated temperature, causing the vapor to condense into a liquid.
- The liquid in the kondensor can be returned to the system for further use or discharged.
