What Is an Evaporative Condenser?
An evaporative condenser is a type of heat exchanger that combines water evaporation and air movement to remove heat from refrigerants. These systems feature an evaporative condenser coil, which cools hot refrigerant gas into a liquid, ready for reuse. This process ensures reduced energy consumption and better cooling efficiency compared to traditional systems.
How Does an Evaporative Condenser Work?
- Refrigerant Input: Hot refrigerant enters the evaporative condenser coil.
- Water Spray: Water is sprayed over the coil to absorb heat from the refrigerant.
- Air Circulation: Fans move air across the coil, assisting in heat removal.
- Condensation: The refrigerant cools, condenses into liquid, and recirculates in the system.
This process makes evaporative cooling condenser coils highly effective in industrial applications.
