AirCooledCondenser

Config type: "AirCooledCondenser"
Source: air-cooled condenser / coil stack in components


EN

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 lair extérieur.

Calibration

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