Abstract
A heating, ventilation, air conditioning and refrigeration (HVAC&R) unit includes an evaporator circulating a flow of refrigerant therethrough to cool a flow of compartment air flowing over the evaporator, and a condenser operably connected to the evaporator to condense the flow of refrigerant therethrough. The evaporator and the condenser are relatively positioned such that a liquid condensate at an exterior of the evaporator is directed by gravity onto an exterior of the condenser to increase an operating capacity of the condenser.
