## Answers.

1. An air-cooled condenser is a device that utilizes air to extract heat from the refrigerant. This type of condenser is composed of a series of coils equipped with fins, facilitating air flow, which cools the refrigerant within the coils. Typically, air-cooled condensers are favored in small to medium-sized refrigeration and HVAC systems.

2. In contrast, a water-cooled condenser employs water to dissipate heat from the refrigerant. These condensers usually consist of tubes carrying the refrigerant, submerged in a water reservoir. The heat from the refrigerant transfers to the water, which is then circulated away to facilitate cooling. Water-cooled condensers tend to be more efficient than air-cooled ones, making them a common choice for larger industrial refrigeration applications.

3. An evaporative condenser merges the principles of both air-cooled and water-cooled systems. It employs a mixture of air and water to remove heat from the refrigerant. The refrigerant flows through tubes encircled by a wetted surface, and as air moves across this surface, evaporation occurs, leading to a reduction in the refrigerant's temperature. Evaporative condensers are notably effective in warmer regions, as they deliver efficient cooling while consuming less water than traditional water-cooled condensers.
