Non-condensables in a refrigeration system, such as air or nitrogen, significantly increase head pressure and reduce efficiency. Head pressure refers to the pressure on the high side of the refrigeration system, specifically in the condenser. These non-condensable gases do not change state from gas to liquid within the condenser like the refrigerant does. As they accumulate, they occupy space within the condenser, reducing the surface area available for refrigerant ....
