At what temperature is the condenser water sump considered in abnormal conditions?

The temperature at which the condenser water sump is deemed to be in abnormal conditions is generally recognized to be 75°F. When the temperature of the condenser water exceeds this threshold, it may indicate issues such as poor heat exchange efficiency or elevated ambient conditions, which could lead to reduced system performance or increased energy consumption.

In refrigeration systems, maintaining optimal temperatures in the condenser water is crucial for efficient operation; deviations can signal that the system is under stress or not functioning as designed. Therefore, monitoring temperatures and responding to any readings above 75°F is essential for proper maintenance and operational integrity of the refrigeration system.

This understanding underscores the importance of continuous monitoring of condenser water temperatures to ensure they remain within acceptable operational ranges, thereby avoiding potential system failures.
