Question

The condenser used in a domestic refrigerator:

• A. Water cooled condenser
• B. Evaporative condenser
• C. Air cooled condenser
• D. Double tube condenser

Hint:

Your fridge at home uses air around it to remove heat — that’s an air cooled condenser.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Domestic refrigerators are designed to reject heat to the surrounding air.
They use an air cooled condenser that releases the heat absorbed from inside the fridge to the room air.
This type of condenser is compact, easy to install, and does not need water supply or extra maintenance.
Water cooled condensers are used in industrial or large systems where plenty of water is available.
Evaporative condensers combine water and air cooling but are not used in small refrigerators.
Double tube condensers are more common in water cooled designs.
Therefore, domestic refrigerators use air cooled condensers as standard.
