# 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
### Project Structure Notes
```
crates/components/src/
├── heat_exchanger/
│ ├── mod.rs # Add: pub mod flooded_condenser; pub use ...
│ ├── exchanger.rs # Base HeatExchanger (reuse)
│ ├── eps_ntu.rs # ε-NTU model (reuse)
│ ├── flooded_evaporator.rs # Reference implementation
│ └── flooded_condenser.rs # NEW - Create this file

```
### 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>
```
