• B. To deliver the heat to the evaporator
• C. To deliver the heat to the refrigerator
• D. To deliver the heat to the atmosphere

Answer 1

The correct option is D To deliver the heat to the atmosphere

A condenser is simply a heat exchanger,the purpose of a condenser in the cycle of compression refrigeration is to change the hot gas being discharged from the compressor to a liquid prepared for use in the evaporator. The condenser accomplishes this action by the removal of sufficient heat from the hot gas, to ensure its condensation at the pressure available in the condenser. The heat is shifted to another medium, like water or air, to cool the condenser.
