Low System Operating Costs: A condensing temperature below the wet-bulb design temperature of 8.3°C is highly practical and economical. As a result, the compressor power consumption is reduced by at least 10% compared to other cooling tower/condenser systems, and by 30% compared to air-cooled condenser systems. The fan power consumption is comparable to that of a cooling tower/condenser system, and approximately one-third that of a comparable air-cooled condenser fan. Due to the lower pump head and reduced water flow rate, the pump power is approximately 25% of that required in a typical cooling tower/condenser system.
Saves on Initial Investment: Evaporative condensers integrate the cooling tower, condenser, circulating water tank, circulating water pump, and piping into a single unit. This reduces the need for separate cooling towers, circulating water pumps, and piping, and also reduces the cost of handling and installing individual components in a cooling tower/condenser system. Because evaporative condensers efficiently utilize evaporative cooling heat exchange, they effectively reduce the heat exchange area, the number of fans, and the power consumption of the fan motors.
Space Saving: Evaporative condensers save valuable space by integrating the condenser coils and cooling tower into a single unit, eliminating the need for the large water pumps and piping required by cooling tower/condenser systems. Evaporative condensers require only about 50% of the air-cooled surface area of a comparable air-cooled condenser.
