In order to solve the problems of disorderly discharge of condensed water and cold loss, proposes a large temperature difference heat transfer method between the condensed water and the discharge pipe of compressor. It can not only decrease the movement of condensed water, but also increase the heat transfer area and time, which achieves precooling of the high temperature refrigerant in the outlet of compressor. The results show that although the condensed water is limited, the super cooling temperature is about 1.1 to 2.0 ℃ in the condenser, and the COP and cooling capacity increase by 0.93% and 1.7%, respectively. The water vapor evaporated can be easily carried away by the condenser fan, which solves the disorderly discharge problem of condensed water.
