# Story 11.4: FloodedCondenser

Status: done

## Story

As a **chiller engineer**,
I want **a FloodedCondenser component**,
So that **I can simulate chillers with accumulation condensers where a liquid bath regulates condensing pressure.**

## Acceptance Criteria

1. **Given** a FloodedCondenser with refrigerant side (flooded) and fluid side (water/glycol)
   **When** computing heat transfer
   **Then** the liquid bath regulates condensing pressure
   **And** outlet is subcooled liquid

2. **Given** a FloodedCondenser with UA parameter
   **When** computing heat transfer
   **Then** UA uses flooded-specific correlations (Longo default for BPHX)
   **And** subcooling is calculated and accessible

3. **Given** a converged FloodedCondenser
   **When** querying outlet state
   **Then** subcooling (K) is calculated and returned
   **And** outlet enthalpy indicates subcooled liquid

4. **Given** a FloodedCondenser component
   **When** adding to system topology
   **Then** it implements the `Component` trait (object-safe)
   **And** it supports `StateManageable` for ON/OFF/BYPASS states

5. **Given** a FloodedCondenser with calibration factors
   **When** `calib.f_ua` is set
   **Then** effective UA = `f_ua × UA_nominal`
   **And** `calib.f_dp` scales pressure drop if applicable

## Dev Notes

### Physical Description

A **FloodedCondenser** (accumulation condenser) differs from a standard DX condenser:
- Refrigerant condenses in a liquid bath that surrounds the cooling tubes
- The liquid bath regulates condensing pressure via hydrostatic head
- Outlet is **subcooled liquid** (not saturated or two-phase)
- Used in industrial chillers, process refrigeration, and large HVAC systems

### Equations

| # | Equation | Description |
|---|----------|-------------|
| 1 | Heat transfer (ε-NTU or LMTD) | Q = ε × C_min × (T_hot_in - T_cold_in) |
| 2 | Energy balance refrigerant | Q = ṁ_ref × (h_in - h_out) |
| 3 | Energy balance secondary | Q = ṁ_sec × cp_sec × (T_sec_in - T_sec_out) |
| 4 | Subcooling control (optional) | SC_computed - SC_target = 0 |

### Key Differences from FloodedEvaporator

| Aspect | FloodedEvaporator | FloodedCondenser |
|--------|-------------------|------------------|
| Refrigerant side | Cold side | Hot side |
| Outlet state | Two-phase (x ~ 0.5-0.8) | Subcooled liquid |
| Control target | Outlet quality | Outlet subcooling |
| Heat flow | Q > 0 (absorbs heat) | Q > 0 (rejects heat, but from component perspective) |

### Architecture Patterns

**Follow existing patterns from FloodedEvaporator:**
- Wrap `HeatExchanger<EpsNtuModel>` as inner component
- Use builder pattern for configuration
- Delegate Component methods to inner HeatExchanger
- Track last computed values (subcooling, heat transfer)

**Key files to reference:**
- `crates/components/src/heat_exchanger/flooded_evaporator.rs` - Primary reference
- `crates/components/src/heat_exchanger/mod.rs` - Module structure
- `crates/components/src/heat_exchanger/exchanger.rs` - HeatExchanger implementation

### Testing Standards

- Use `approx::assert_relative_eq!` for float comparisons
- Tolerance for energy balance: 1e-6 kW
- Tolerance for subcooling: 0.1 K
- Test with mock FluidBackend for unit tests
- All tests must pass: `cargo test --workspace`

### Code Conventions

```rust
// Naming: snake_case for methods, CamelCase for types
pub fn with_subcooling_control(mut self, enabled: bool) -> Self { ... }

// NewType pattern for physical quantities
fn compute_subcooling(&self, h_out: f64, p: Pressure) -> Option<f64>

// Tracing, never println!
tracing::debug!("FloodedCondenser subcooling: {:.2} K", subcooling);

// Error handling via Result, never panic in production
pub fn validate_outlet_subcooled(&self, h_out: f64, p_pa: f64) -> Result<f64, ComponentError>
```
