CAA EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS

An evaporative condenser condenses a refrigerant gas from a gaseous state to a liquid. By traveling along a coil from top to bottom sprayed with water with air in countercurrent, the refrigerant gas condenses and changes phase. Medium-large capacity refrigeration systems are usually water-condensed, especially if they use ammonia as a refrigerant. It is essentially a hybrid between an air-cooled condenser and a water-cooled condenser that uses heat rejection principles to follow an evaporative process.
