Liquid Refrigerant
traps in the

Liquid Refrigerant
starts to boil as it
absorbs the heat
from the water.

Warm Water from

passes through the
Evaporator Tubes.

From the Discharge
line the high
pressure refrigerant
flows through the
babble plate to
evenly distribute the
refrigerant in the
entire condenser
shell.

The cooled water

from the Cooling
Tower passes
through the
condenser tubes to
absorb the heat
from the refrigerant
and condense.
