Evaporative Condensers

EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS

Operating principle and applications:

The refrigerant circulates inside the tube bank, while air and water circulate in countercurrent around the outside of the tubes. Heat is transferred from the refrigerant through the tube walls to a film of water around the tubes.

Part of this water evaporates and is absorbed by the air current, causing heat and mass transfer. In other words, heat is transferred from the refrigerant that is condensing to the air current that passes through the
evaporative condenser.

The total heat rejection capacity is directly linked to the air humidity condition during equipment operation.

Variations:

Mebrafe evaporative condensers are manufactured in 48 models,
meeting capacities from 75,000 kcal/h to 3,000,000 kcal/h, and
special models upon request, based on TBU=23 oC and Tc=35oC (see
correction table).
