The evaporative condensers are sustainable cooling systems designed to minimize water waste through advanced water management and recirculation techniques.
Among the different solutions Torraval offers, these condensers stand out for their high capacity to dissipate heat, reducing operational costs and preserving the natural resources around the installation.
Key components of evaporative condensers
To ensure the proper functioning of an evaporative condenser, the system should include components such as:
- Casing
- Water distribution system
- Ventilation system
- Coils
- Centrifugal pump
- Water collection basin
- Splash guards
How an evaporative condenser works
Evaporative condensers rely on the alignment of the components mentioned to achieve optimal operation.
The process begins with the refrigerant to be condensed entering the upper manifold of the coil. This coil is constantly wetted with water that recirculates within the unit’s evaporative circuit.
Air moves through the top fans counterflow to the water, evaporating a small fraction of it, which triggers condensation as heat is removed from the surface of the coil’s heat exchange area.
Criteria for choosing an evaporative system
There are various determining factors that can indicate which option is most effective according to the needs of the installation:
- Materials and components: it is recommended to choose corrosion‑resistant materials, lightweight and removable structures to facilitate maintenance.
- Maintenance and inspections: with removable structures, you can carry out the technical inspections efficiently and as required.
- Water treatment: it is essential to analyze the water to determine the appropriate treatment needed. This helps ensure the system’s performance.
- Water basin: to guarantee the safety of the installation, it is important that the collection basin is watertight and has a slight slope to allow draining.
Advantages offered by this cooling technology
The most notable benefits of this installation are:
- Energy efficiency: It consists of machinery that prioritizes local water resources, using processed water sources to enhance conservation.
- Reduced operational costs: With modern engineering, it offers longer system life, which reduces future installation costs.
- Sustainability: Technological advances prioritize water conservation, thus minimizing the consumption of large quantities.
