Condensing Units

What Does a Condensing Unit Do?

A condensing unit is the outdoor or remote component of a refrigeration system. It compresses refrigerant gas and condenses it back into a liquid, which then circulates to the evaporator inside the cooled space to absorb heat and bring down the temperature. Paired with the right evaporator, a condensing unit can power a walk-in cooler, walk-in freezer, or custom refrigeration build.

How Do I Choose the Right Condensing Unit?

The right unit depends on the horsepower needed to cool your specific space, the voltage and phase available at your installation site, and whether you're replacing an existing unit or building a new system from scratch. Matching condensing unit capacity to the size of the space and the evaporator it's paired with is critical to keeping temperatures consistent.
