### Purpose & model

Air-cooled condenser: refrigerant condensation against outdoor air stream. Combines refrigerant-side phase-change energy balance with air-side capacity (fan flow × cp_air × effectiveness or coil model).

```
Q = ε · C_air · (T_cond − T_air,in)   # schematic ε-NTU air-side form
```

May wrap or specialize `Condenser` with air secondary defaults.

### Residuals

Similar to Condenser coupled path: refrigerant energy/momentum + air secondary when live ports or rating air stream set.

### Ports

Refrigerant inlet/outlet + air secondary_in/out when 4-port.

### Calibration

`z_ua` default **1.0**; fan speed may be free under head-pressure control.

### JSON

UA / coil geometry / OAT / face velocity / design capacity depending on arm — see CLI `create_component` and example air-cooled chillers.

### But

**Condenseur à air** : rejet de chaleur vers l’air extérieur.

### Calibration

Z_UA = 1 par défaut ; vitesse ventilateur possible en régulation.
