Evaporative Condensers for Refrigeration Systems
The condenser coil and the cooling tower in one compact unit.
IllustrativeEvaporative Condensers
Refrigerant condenses inside the coil while spray water evaporates on the outside, so the condensing temperature stays lower than with air-cooled condensers. No separate cooling tower is required, saving space and installation cost.
Evaporative condenser principle
A simplified view of a counterflow evaporative condenser.
01
Hot gas enters
Compressed refrigerant gas flows into the condenser coil inside the unit.
02
Spray and evaporation
Spray water falls over the coil. Part of it evaporates and removes the heat of condensation.
03
Air carries heat out
The fan draws air upward through the unit. Warm moist air leaves at the top.
04
Liquid leaves
The refrigerant condenses to liquid and flows out. Spray water returns to the basin and is recirculated.
Why it matters
Energy saving
Lower condensing temperature than air-cooled condensers.
Water saving
Uses latent heat of evaporation efficiently.
Compact
Small footprint and one integrated unit.
No venting loss
Avoids releasing non-condensable gas to relieve pressure.
