DIVERTER-CONDENSER

In restaurant equipment applications using heat transfer, a condenser is a device or unit used to compress a gaseous substance into a liquid state through cooling. In so doing, the latent heat is released by the substance and transferred to the surrounding environment. For example, a refrigerator uses a condenser to get rid of heat extracted from the interior of the unit to the outside air. Condensers are typically air cooled or water cooled. A "condensing unit" may refer to the entire refrigeration system including the compressor.

A diverter is used in restaurant equipment to deflect or redirect something else, such as a stream of fluid like water, or particles such as cubes or flakes in ice makers, or coffee beans and grounds in brewing equipment. A similar application is a diaphragm in a burner by which the flame and gases are brought together to improve combustion.
