Next generation adiabatic condensers and fluid coolers.

Author(s) : CLARKE R.

Summary

This paper presents the design approach adopted for the development and application of a new range of adiabatic condensers and fluid coolers. The design is based on making use of both the design wet and dry bulb weather conditions for any given location. The concept employs the placing of evaporative precooler pads in front of a tube and fin heat exchanger. When operating in precooling mode, the dry bulb air temperature of the air passing through the wetted pads is reduced prior to entering the condensing or fluid cooling heat exchanger. A simple observation is that in this mode the operation is similar to an air-cooled condenser or fluid cooler during low ambient dry-bulb operating conditions. This paper discusses the design, operation, construction and advantages of this type of condenser or fluid cooler.
