Have no fear I was not being defensive, I was merely stating what has been my experience. You are right that evaporators are matched to the load but in practise, so are condensers matched to the evaporator. This becomes doubly important if the system is used as a heat pump and the jobs of the...

I have worked in the A/C industry for several years and evaporators and condensers are always matched to give the best performance. Condensers are slightly oversized to accommodate heavier loads at peak demand, the very time when the increased load will become a significant factor. What works...

I believe you are absolutely correct in your conjecture. This duality issue is I believe, strictly an issue of semantics and always has been. There is an ongoing confusion and always has been, about the difference between a "physical manifestation" and the "behaviour" of that manifestation. I...

Cooling the low temperature liquid before it leaves the metering device would improve the cooling but would be redundant, because that is what the condenser coil is designed for. Transferring heat to the exiting gas would increase its' temperature which would increase the work the compressor has...
