Evaporative Condensers

The refrigerant gas discharges from the compressor into the inlet connection of the PMC-E condenser. Heat from the refrigerant dissipates through the coil tubes to the water cascading downward over the tubes. Simultaneously, air is forced in through the two-stage vane axial fans at the base of the condenser and travels upward through the coils, opposite the water flow. A small portion of the water evaporates, removing heat from the system; the saturated hot air is discharged to the atmosphere. The remaining water falls to the sump at the bottom of the condenser where it is recirculated by the pump up through the water distribution system and back down over the coils.
