The condenser and evaporator are the two core heat exchange components of the air conditioning refrigeration system. They work together to transfer heat through the phase change of the refrigerant (evaporation heat absorption and condensation heat release), thereby achieving the purpose of cooling or heating.

The condenser and evaporator are the core heat exchange components of automotive air conditioning systems, with the following functional and structural differences:
1、 Function comparison
Condenser
Function: Cool the high-temperature and high-pressure gaseous refrigerant discharged by the compressor into liquid form, and release the heat to the outside environment of the vehicle through the heat sink.
Work pressure: High (12-20 atmospheres), temperature can reach over 50 ℃.
Installation location: usually located at the front of the car, close to the radiator, relying on fans or driving airflow to assist in heat dissipation.
Evaporator
Function: Absorb heat inside the car, vaporize liquid refrigerant, and achieve cooling effect.
Work pressure: Low, with temperatures typically below 0 ℃.
Installation location: mostly located below the dashboard (near the passenger glove box).

As core heat exchange equipment in the chemical industry, condensers and evaporators are mainly applied in the following aspects:
1、 Working principle and function
Condenser
Function: Cool gaseous media (such as reaction products, steam) to liquid state and release heat. For example, in an ethylene cracking unit, the cracking gas is cooled to 40 ℃ through a two-way tube condenser, resulting in an annual increase of 20000 tons of ethylene production.
Technical features: Adopting spiral wound tube bundle or plate structure, the heat transfer coefficient can reach 8000-13600W/(m ² ·℃), and the heat recovery efficiency is ≥ 96%.
Evaporator
Function: By absorbing heat, the liquid solvent evaporates, achieving solution concentration or substance separation. For example, in chemical production, it is used to remove water from solutions and recover chemical substances.
Technical features: It is necessary to ensure sufficient contact between the liquid medium and the heat source, and the structural design focuses on heat transfer efficiency and corrosion resistance.

Application scenarios:
Commercial air conditioning systems (such as shopping malls and office buildings)
Food refrigeration equipment (supermarket refrigerators, ice makers)
Condenser
Function: Condense gaseous refrigerant into liquid state and release heat, such as the outdoor unit of an air conditioner releasing heat to the environment through a condenser.
Application scenarios:
Central air conditioning system (commercial complex with high heat dissipation requirements)
Industrial refrigeration equipment (such as cold chain logistics cold storage)

Condensers and evaporators are widely used in the food industry for food processing, refrigeration preservation, and production process cooling. Their core functions and typical applications are as follows:
1、 Comparison of core functions
Condenser
Function: Condense gaseous refrigerant into liquid state and release heat to maintain efficient operation of the refrigeration system. For example, parallel unit heat dissipation can be achieved in cold storage through evaporative condensers (such as the Sik Refrigeration MKN-1700 model).
Technical features:
Evaporative condenser can save 60% water and is suitable for water scarce areas.
Air cooled condensers (such as Emerson scroll compressor units) are suitable for small cold storage and have high cost-effectiveness.
Evaporator
Function: By absorbing heat through refrigerant evaporation, it reduces the temperature of food or processing environments. For example, in the central kitchen, a cold air fan (side outlet type) is used to quickly cool down and adapt to frequent loading and unloading scenarios.
Technical features:
Forced convection design (such as axial flow fans) controls temperature fluctuations within ± 1 ℃.
Can be matched with different refrigeration units to meet the storage temperature requirements of -30 ℃ to 10 ℃.
