Decsa Explains The Working And Know-How Of Evaporative Condensers

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...

DECSA Explains Why Is The Fill Pack So Important In Cooling Towers?

A key element in open circuit cooling towers is the thermal fill pack (also called the "fill pack"). The greater the surface area of the water that comes into contact with the airflow through the pack, the greater the efficiency in terms of heat transfer. Not only that, but the contact time also plays an important role in ensuring the high efficiency of the cooling tower. Type of fill packs in cooling towers There are two types of fill packs: film and splash.  Both have the sa...
