EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS
The evaporative condenser is a condenser and a cooling tower combined. Figure 7.18 illustrates how the nozzles spray water over the cooling coil to cool the fluid or gas in the pipes. This is a very good water- conservation tower. In the future this system will probably become more popular. The closed-circuit cooler should see increased use because of dwindling water supplies and more expensive treatment problems. The function of this cooler is to process the fluid in the pipes. This is a sealed, contamination-free system. Instead of allowing the water to drop onto slats or other deflectors, this unit sprays the water directly onto the cooling coil.
