Math & Numbers
Estimate the saturated condensing temperature (T_cond) and evaporating temperature (T_evap) of a refrigeration circuit. Three modes: (1) from coil approach — T_cond = T_ambient + condenser ΔT approach, T_evap = T_medium − evaporator ΔT approach; (2) from measured saturated pressures — given P_cond and P_evap for a known refrigerant (R-22 / R-134a / R-410A), invert the Antoine fit; (3) from subcooling & superheat — T_cond = T_liquid − SC, T_evap = T_suction − SH. Temperature in °C/K/°F; pressure in bar/MPa/kPa/PSI absolute or gauge (atmospheric default 1.01325 bar). Results reported in °C.

POST https://api.elysiatools.com/en/api/tools/condensing-temperature-calculator| Name | Type | Required | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| refrigerant | select | No | Refrigerant. Used only in 'from saturated pressures' mode. |
| mode | select | No | Estimate method: coil approach, measured saturated pressures, or subcooling/superheat. |
| tAmbient | number | No | Heat-sink (ambient entering the condenser) temperature, in the selected Temperature Unit. Used in 'from coil approach' mode. |
| tMedium | number | No | Cooling-load medium temperature entering the evaporator (air or water), in the selected Temperature Unit. Used in 'from coil approach' mode. |
| condApproach | number | No | Condenser approach ΔT = T_cond − T_ambient (K or °C). Typical air-cooled 8–15 K, water-cooled 4–7 K. |
| evapApproach | number | No | Evaporator approach ΔT = T_medium − T_evap (K or °C). Typical DX air 8–12 K, chilled water 4–7 K. |
| pCond | number | No | Measured condensing (high-side) saturated pressure, in the selected Pressure Unit. Used in 'from saturated pressures' mode. |
| pEvap | number | No | Measured evaporating (low-side) saturated pressure, in the selected Pressure Unit. Used in 'from saturated pressures' mode. |
| tLiquid | number | No | Liquid-line temperature after the condenser, in the selected Temperature Unit. Used in 'subcooling & superheat' mode. |
| subcooling | number | No | Subcooling SC (K or °C) = T_cond_sat − T_liquid. Used in 'subcooling & superheat' mode. |
| tSuction | number | No | Suction-gas temperature at the compressor inlet, in the selected Temperature Unit. Used in 'subcooling & superheat' mode. |
| superheat | number | No | Superheat SH (K or °C) = T_suction − T_evap_sat. Used in 'subcooling & superheat' mode. |
| tempUnit | select | No | — |
| pressureForm | select | No | — |
| pressureUnit | select | No | — |
| atm | number | No | Local atmospheric pressure in bar (0.5–1.5, gauge↔absolute conversion). Default 1.01325 bar. |
| decimalPlaces | number | No | — |
