Selecting evaporative condensers for optimum system efficiency.

Author(s) : MERWE A. van der

Type of article: Article

Summary

This engineering presentation reviews the relationship between the compressor and evaporative condenser in an ammonia refrigeration system in terms of system operation and energy consumption. In addition, examples are provided to demonstrate how system efficiency can be optimized by increasing the heat transfer surface area of the condenser and by developing the proper method of operating the condenser and compressor to reduce total energy consumption.
