As seen in the diagram below, refrigerate is first compressed using a screw-type compressor. This hot gas is then condensed to a liquid as it travels in a circuit through the condenser, where heat is transferred to the water flowing through the condenser tube bundle. Our system uses R-134a refrigerant as a thermal transfer medium.
