IfcCondenserType

Definition from IAI: The element type IfcCondenserType defines a list of commonly shared property set definitions of a condenser and an optional set of product representations. It is used to define a condenser specification (i.e. the specific product information, that is common to all occurrences of that product type).

NOTE: The product representations are defined as representation maps (at the level of the supertype IfcTypeProduct, which get assigned by an element occurrence instance through the IfcShapeRepresentation.Item[1] being an IfcMappedItem.

A condenser type is used to define the common properties of a condenser that may be applied to many occurrences of that type. A condenser is a device that is used to dissipate heat, typically by condensing a substance such as a refrigerant from its gaseous to its liquid state. Condenser types may be exchanged without being already assigned to occurrences.

The occurrences of the IfcCondenserType are represented by instances of IfcEnergyConversionDevice or its subtypes.
