The first function a condenser must perform is to

  1. Absorb heat from the evaporator

  2. Condense the refrigerant

  3. De-superheat the vapor

  4. Release heat into the surroundings

The correct answer is: Absorb heat from the evaporator

A condenser is an important component in a refrigeration system that is responsible for releasing heat into the surroundings. While performing this task, the first function it must complete is to absorb heat from the evaporator. Option B is incorrect because the evaporator is responsible for condensing the refrigerant, not the condenser. Option C is incorrect because de-superheating the vapor is a function of the evaporator, not the condenser. Option D is incorrect because the condenser does not release heat into the surroundings until it has absorbed it from the evaporator.
