Evaporative condenser, also known as evaporative cooler, is a device that gradually cools the refrigerant inside the coil from a gaseous state to a liquid state by absorbing the heat of the high-temperature gaseous refrigerant inside the coil during the evaporation of the spray water outside the coil.
Low operating costs of the system
The condensation temperature within the wet bulb design temperature of 8.3 ℃ is very practical and economical, resulting in a compressor power saving of at least 10% compared to other cooling tower/condenser systems, and a 30% power saving compared to air-cooled condenser systems. The power consumption of the fan is equivalent to that of the cooling tower/condenser system, and is approximately one-third of the power consumption of air-cooled condenser fans of the same specifications. Due to the low head of the pump and the decrease in water flow rate, the power of the water pump is approximately 25% of the power required in a typical cooling tower/condenser system.
Save initial investment
The evaporative condenser integrates the cooling tower, condenser, circulating water tank, circulating water pump, and water pipe into one, which reduces the equipment such as cooling tower, circulating water pump, and water pipe, and also reduces the cost of handling and installing individual components in the cooling tower/condenser system. Due to the efficient use of evaporative cooling and heat exchange methods, evaporative condensers can effectively reduce the heat exchange area, number of fans, and fan motor power consumption.
Save space
Evaporative condensers save valuable space by integrating condenser coils and cooling towers, and there is no need for larger water pumps and pipelines like cooling tower/condenser systems. Evaporative condensers only require approximately 50% of the windward area of air-cooled condensers of the same specifications.
