Evaporative Condenser EC

Advantages of Using EC Evaporative Condenser

1. High Efficiency: The EC evaporative condenser cools the refrigerant through water evaporation, enhancing system efficiency and performance. This method improves heat exchange between the refrigerant and the environment.
2. Energy Savings: By utilizing water evaporation as a cooling method, the EC evaporative condenser minimizes energy consumption for refrigerant cooling. This results in significant energy savings and reduced operational costs.
3. Water Conservation: The EC evaporative condenser uses water as the primary cooling medium but consumes less water compared to other systems due to its evaporation-based process. This conserves water resources and reduces associated costs.
4. Adjustability: The EC evaporative condenser allows precise control over temperature and fan speed, enabling you to optimize cooling performance according to your system’s needs.
5. Overall Benefits: Using the EC evaporative condenser in cooling and air conditioning systems improves efficiency, saves energy and water, reduces costs, and enhances overall system performance.

Considerations Before Purchasing an EC Evaporative Condenser

1. Cooling Requirements: Determine the exact cooling capacity needed for your refrigeration or air conditioning system, including airflow, output temperature, and required humidity. Accurate data will help you choose the right condenser.
2. Installation Space: Ensure that the available installation space is sufficient for the EC evaporative condenser. Verify dimensions and confirm proper placement.
3. Build Quality and Reliability: Check that the EC evaporative condenser has high build quality and reliability. Consider the brand’s reputation, past performance, and customer reviews.
4. Energy Efficiency: Ensure the EC evaporative condenser offers high energy efficiency by comparing its energy consumption with other coolers. A more efficient condenser will save energy costs in the long run.
5. Maintenance and After-Sales Service: Verify if the manufacturer provides after-sales service and maintenance support. Reliable service ensures quick resolution of issues or repairs.
6. Cost: Assess whether the EC evaporative condenser is reasonably priced and cost-effective. Compare prices and features among different brands to make an informed decision.
7. Standards and Certifications: Confirm that the EC evaporative condenser meets relevant standards and certifications, including safety and performance standards. Ensure compliance with international regulations.

Installation and Maintenance Tips

• Since the condenser is equipped with a coil de-superheater, to reduce water consumption and minimize scaling on the tubes, it is recommended to start the fans first before turning on the water pump when the system pressure is high. This way, the condenser operates as an air-cooled unit during most months, especially in temperate and cold regions, reducing the need for water.
• Air intake sections are fitted with cellulose pads that improve device efficiency and prevent dust entry into the condenser. If high-quality water is used, these pads will have a longer lifespan. Otherwise, inspect their condition every six months and clean or replace them as needed.
• The water inlet filter, made of 304 stainless steel and housed inside the sump, requires no maintenance.
• Axial fans with internal overload protection are used. To protect the fans, ensure the overload devices remain active in the circuit. If using inverters for capacity control, appropriate electronic equipment must be considered to prevent damage to the fan bearings.
• Water quality affects fan performance. Fans should be periodically inspected to ensure no scaling occurs on the blades or housing. If necessary, perform descaling on the blades and housing.
• The EC evaporative condenser is designed for ammonia refrigerant use and includes features such as:
  • Stainless steel piping for water circulation, including filters, pipes, and nozzles.
  • Composite vanes resistant to various types of corrosion.
