What process takes place in the condenser of a refrigeration system?

In the condenser, the refrigerant releases the heat absorbed in the evaporator into the surroundings.
The refrigerant releases the heat absorbed in the compressor via the condenser
The medium flowing through the evaporator (glycol, water) condenses, whilst the refrigerant evaporates.

How can one check whether the system has been overcharged with refrigerant?


The refrigeration system is overcharged with refrigerant whilst in operation, and even under a very small heat load, frost forms on the suction side of the compressor
Under normal conditions, there is a marked increase in condensing pressure because an excessive amount of refrigerant accumulates in the condenser, reducing the heat exchange surface area within it.
The compressor will operate under a lower load and the suction pressure will decrease
This cannot be checked with sufficient reliability, as the sight glass is not designed for this purpose.
