What is a Condensing Unit?

The condensing unit is a equipment that can compress the low-temperature vapor into high-temperature high-pressure refrigerant. It consists of refrigeration compressor, condenser, fan motor, oil separator, receiver, filter dryer, sight-glass, high and low pressure switch, accumulator and others, which is one of the most important parts in refrigeration cycle. It is widely used in commercial refrigeration equipment, cold storage room, freezer room, walk in cooler, walk in freezer for food, pharmaceutical, medical and other industries.
