Diagnosing a Restricted Condenser: Symptoms and Causes
Symptoms of a restricted (cooled) condenser include:
- High head pressure: Refrigerant gas pressure leaving condenser is higher than normal.
- Low condenser efficiency: Ratio of heat absorbed to heat input is reduced.
- Reduced cooling capacity: Less heat removed from refrigerated space per unit time.
- Increased power consumption: More electrical energy required to operate.
Additionally, a restricted condenser can cause refrigerant to flood back into the compressor, potentially damaging it.
