Heat removed from a product during the refrigeration cycle must be disposed of. This heat can be discarded as waste heat or reused for space, water, or process heating. The section of a refrigeration system that accomplishes heat rejection is the condenser. Two basic types of condensers are currently available: Water-Cooled and Air-Cooled.
Water-cooled units are the best, where water is available and inexpensive, or where heating of the ambient air is objectionable.
Examples of water-cooled units Example 1 Example 2 Example 3
Air-cooled units are desirable where water is expensive, heating of ambient air is not objectionable, or where the rejected heat will be dissipated out-of-doors.
Examples of air-cooled units Example 1 Example 2 Example 3 Example 4 Example 5 Example 6 Example 7 Example 8 Example 9.
Generally we find that air-cooled condensers, on units over 10 HP, need to be located out-of-doors unless they are in a very large indoor area.
A wide variety of arrangements is possible by mixing these components or using other designs. We would be happy to discuss your application, engineer a system to the requirements, and build a unit to accomplish your objectives.
