What is the impact of high humidity on the performance of an air-cooled condenser?

High humidity negatively impacts the performance of an air-cooled condenser by reducing its ability to reject heat effectively. An air-cooled condenser relies on the temperature difference between the hot refrigerant inside the condenser coils and the ambient air flowing across the coils to transfer heat. When the humidity is high, the air has a higher moisture content, which reduces the temperature difference between the refrig....
