Condenser Classification According to Condensing Medium

Air

Types

•  natural convection

•  forced centrifugal fan (push thru)

•  propeller fan (draw thru)

Water (recirculating and waste water systems)

Types

•  tube within a tube

•  shell and coil

•  shell and tube

Evaporative (air and water)

* Condenser heat rejection is normally larger then evaporator capacity approximate 25% for open drive approximate 30% for hermetic
