In this chapter, Jens discusses the condenser and the role it plays in the refrigeration process. You’ll learn about the two main types of condensers and what you need to keep in mind when working with the air-cooled variety. Last, but not least, Jens shares some wisdom about air-cooled condenser pressure regulator methods.

In this episode, Jens takes a quick break from the usual topics to cover something special as part of the Danfoss Refrigerant Week 2018 (Sept 24 - 28). As new regulations phase out old refrigerants in favor of more environmentally friendly ones, HVACR professionals will need to perform more refrigerant retrofits.

Jens discusses what you need to think about when doing a retrofit. It may seem like a walk in the park, but there are several things that you’ll need to consider, including things that don’t necessarily have a direct connection to the replacement of a refrigerant.

Learn even more about refrigerants and access free tools, including the Retrofit Guidelines document, at the Danfoss Refrigerant Transition Center.

In this chapter of Chilling with Jens, Jens discusses the thermostatic expansion valve—a key component in many refrigeration systems such as cold rooms or walk-in coolers. The TXV, or metering device, is installed to ensure correct and optimal pressure in the evaporator. Tune in to learn more about the TXV and its importance, and maybe even pick up some fun trivia bits along the way (hint: the TXV and Danfoss go back...way back).
