        There are two methods for cooling a refrigeration system. One method is air cooled. The refrigerant is cooled by air forced over the condensing coils by a fan. Think of how a radiator in a car works. A fan is used to pull air across the coils and cool the water inside. The air cooled condenser uses to air to cool the hot refrigerant gas and condense it into liquid refrigerant.

The second method is water cooled. A water cooled condenser uses city water or tower water passed through a heat exchanger device which has the hot refrigerant gas passing through the other side. The cooler water cools the gas and causes it to condense into liquid refrigerant.
