Evaporative Condenser Final
Evaporative Condenser Final
The vapors act as hot fluid whereas water & air act as cold fluids. It uses a
system of tubes exposed to a constant flow of water and ambient air to cool
and condense vapors. The cooling and subsequent condensation of the vapors
is caused by a process of heat transfer that takes place when the water flowing
through tubes evaporates along with air, thus cooling the tube surface and
water. The condensate collected outside the tubes can be removed from
system with help of condensate pump.
