In a remote condenser with 4 fans, which fans are never cycled off?

In a remote condenser with multiple fans, fans play a crucial role in maintaining optimal heat exchange and system efficiency. The fans installed near the header are typically responsible for ensuring consistent refrigerant flow and maintaining an adequate temperature differential. They are often the first in line to manage the heat exchange process efficiently.

Because these fans are positioned strategically to assist with vapor condensing as refrigerant enters the condenser, they are essential for maintaining consistent performance. This ensures that the system does not overheat, which can lead to efficiency losses or equipment failure. As a result, these fans are kept operational at all times to facilitate effective cooling and prevent any risk of vapor carryover or inefficient condensation.

While fans farther from the header or those that alternate may cycle on and off based on temperature requirements or system demands, the fans near the header remain active to uphold system stability and performance.
