Evaporative Condenser Explained

If you're a left-brainer, this article is for you! We know evaporative condensers are important in our industry but how do they work exactly? Here is a breakdown to answer that question. Plus, we've included visual diagrams for all of us right-brainers too!

An evaporative condenser is used to remove excess heat with the cooling effect of evaporation from a cooling system to improve the heat rejection process when the heat cannot be utilized for other purposes.
Water is sprayed over the condensing coil from above while air is simultaneously blown up through the coil from below to naturally lower the condensing temperature. Then the refrigerant goes to an expansion valve which changes from high pressure to low pressure and makes the refrigerant very cold. Next, the cold refrigerant goes to the evaporator. (evaporative coil, ice maker barrel, etc.)
