evaporative condenser

An evaporative condenser is a device that cools and condenses hot refrigerant vapor back into liquid form, using both water and air to improve efficiency. It works by passing hot refrigerant through coils while a controlled flow of water coats the coils. Air flows over the wet coils, causing some of the water to evaporate, which absorbs heat from the refrigerant. This process cools the refrigerant more effectively than air alone, making the system energy-efficient. Evaporative condensers are commonly used in industrial and HVAC applications for cooling large quantities of refrigerant efficiently and reliably.
