An evaporative condenser is a heat exchanger for condensing a natural refrigerant gas, such as ammonia, or refrigerants of the freon family using the natural principle of evaporative cooling. By taking advantage of the latent heat of evaporation of water, this principle allows heat to be subtracted from the refrigerant gas inside the heat exchanger and a small portion of the water sprayed onto the coil to evaporate. Heat exchanger Heat removal in the evaporative condenser is then accomplished...
