Abstract
An evaporative condenser cools and condenses fluid, such as refrigerants in a refrigeration system, by circulating the fluid through a condensing coil, continuously and completely spraying the condensing coil from above with cooling water, and simultaneously blowing air from below the condensing coil upwardly and counter to the cooling water. Heat is transferred from the fluid to the cooling water, and heat is transferred by evaporation from the cooling water to the air and is discharged to the atmosphere. A fogging nozzle sprays a fine water mist into the air blowing into and through the condenser, which will increase the rate of evaporation and therefore increase the rate of heat transfer, thus increasing the cooling efficiency of the condenser.
