The typical design temperature for the water entering a recirculating water system condenser is 85°F, and most systems have a ____ rise across the condenser.
A) 1°F
B) 5°F
C) 10°F
D) 15°F

A condenser typically has a temperature difference or "approach" of 10°F between the water entering the condenser and the refrigerant leaving it. This means that if the water entering the condenser is at 85°F, the refrigerant leaving the condenser will be at 95°F. This temperature difference is important because it determines the efficiency of the condenser and ultimately affects the overall efficiency of the refrigeration system.
