What are the symptoms of an cooled Condenser when the air leaving the condenser is hitting a barrier and recirculating?
It is due to pressure rising due to a bad condenser fan motor, bad capacitor, obstructing of airflowat the condenser, or a dirty condnser.

ac condenser means "Air Cooled Condenser". The cooling media is Air. The fluid or anything which is being circulated through (inside) the coils /tube being cooled by the exposed or forced air - which impinges over the outside of the coil / tubes. B.Kannan balakannan@live.com
Air cooled condensers are of two types: natural convection and forced convection. In the natural convection type, the air flows over it in natural a way depending upon the temperature of the condenser coil. In the forced air type, a fan operated by a motor blows air over the condenser coil.

You can calculate the efficiency of an air-cooled condenser by dividing the actual heat transfer rate by the maximum possible heat transfer rate. The efficiency is typically expressed as a percentage, with higher percentages indicating better performance. Factors that can affect the efficiency include the design of the condenser, ambient air temperature, and air flow rate.
relies on natural convection and doesn't use a fan
Refrigerant enters the condenser as a high pressure vapor. In the condenser, the heated refrigerant is cooled by transferring its heat to the air which passes through the condenser fins, and it changes state to a liquid during this time.
