Condensers

What is a Condenser?

Central air conditioning systems are essentially made up of two components: an evaporator coil that removes heat from indoor air and transfers it into a refrigerant; and a condenser that removes the heat from the refrigerant and transfers that heat outdoors. Condensers basically change the refrigerant from a gas to a liquid. The primary component of a condenser is the condenser coil, through which the refrigerant flows. The condenser is typically located outside of the building and is what most people refer to as the AC Unit.
