Evaporator coil And Condensor coil

[praveenmgm027]

Hi,
I need one clarification. How to indentify evaporator coil assy and condensor coil assy if both kept infront of us.
Thanks,

That would depend on what type of coils we are looking at.

A plate heat-exchanger might look exactly the same, so might a coiled heat-exchanger or a tubular one.

Refrigerant to air ones, might look the same but if one got a "shower head" type distributor and the other a header, then the one with the header would be the condensor.

If you got [IN] and [OUT] labels on them then, generally, a condensor would have the gas entering at the top whilst the evaporator would have liquid entering at the bottom.

Good luck.
