Condensers are one of the crucial components of a refrigeration system. Not choosing the right one that suits your business needs would often mean two things – inefficient heat rejection and a waste of electricity.
Suppose you’re creating a business involving extensive refrigeration or a cold room cooling system; besides using a reliable compressor of a reputable brand, the careful selection of condensers should also be performed.
Here are a few things to consider when looking for a cold room condenser: selecting the right one and proper maintenance will ensure your refrigeration system functions evenly and adequately lowers electrical bills!
Size & Space
It’s important to check where your condenser will be located, as they’ll need the extra space in terms of width, length and height for installation and maintenance.
Condensers come in different shapes and sizes, while more reputable models have a standardized design. On top of that, a compressor needs to be assembled with other necessary parts in a cooling system beforehand. So, it’s best to choose based on your location specifications, as ample space would be ideal for moving purposes and to improve overall radiation management.
Capacity
The condenser is one of the key item of a condensing unit. You must carefully read each unit’s technical features and performances as this dictates how much power they consume and how much heat they reject in the outdoor environment.
Usage
Depending on your stored products, your condenser should have sufficient heat rejection capacity that cater to your use. Will you keep meat-related products in a freezer or chiller room for your fruits and vegetables?
A condenser’s range of heat rejection varies from model and size. Be sure to understand the capacity range of your condenser of choice in its technical data sheet and match it with your cold storage requirements.
Energy Efficiency
In an ideal world, your refrigeration system would operate perfectly and at a healthy cost to power efficiency — ultimately saving you the big bucks.
Selecting a condenser with larger fin spacing helps keep the airflow and heat rejection consistent when the ambient environment is dusty.
Certain condenser brands use motors of makes with high electrical consumption, which will unnecessarily inflate your electrical bills. You will have lower build up cost but higher energy bill !
What about maintenance?
Here are a few things to consider when maintaining your condenser.
- Use original parts for replacement.
- Clean regularly to prevent dust accumulation
- Ensure all electric terminals are connected and fuse elements are correctly clamped.
- Check the fan motor for abrupt noise levels, ticking or vibrations
- Have a routine quarterly maintenance schedule with a reputable contractor.
