Types Types of condenser Condensers are typically heat exchangers come in various designs and sizes. The different types of condenser are as follows: Air-cooled Condenser Fin-fan condenser – – consists of multiple rows of fin tubes with a fan to move lower temperature ambient air over the coils in order to cool the hotter fluid.
Water-cooled condenser Double Pipe Condenser – – consists of a pipe inside another pipe, or a tube within a tube. The tubes are positioned horizontally to form a vertical bank. Double Tube Condenser – – water flows inside the tubes, and refrigerant flows through the annular space between the two tubes. Shell And Coil Condenser – Condenser – consists consists of a copper copper coil located located in the the shell. ater ater flows flows through through the coil, and refrigerant vapour condenses on the outside of the cold tubes which is discharged from the compressor. This type of condenser is economical, but its maintenance is difficult.
Shell And Tube Condenser – – consists of a large number of tubes located in the shell, with water flowing inside, and vapour flowing around the tubes. The vapours condense on the exterior surface of the tubes, and drops to the bottom of the condenser. ! considerable amount of condensing surface is available in a smaller place.
