An evaporative condenser is a type of heat exchanger commonly used in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. It combines the functions of a condenser and a cooling tower by using water evaporation to remove heat from the refrigerant. Here’s a brief description of its operation:
Hot refrigerant vapor from the compressor enters the evaporative condenser coil.
Water is continuously sprayed over the condenser coil. As the water flows over the coil, it evaporates and absorbs heat from the refrigerant inside the coil.
The heat from the refrigerant is transferred to the water through evaporation. This lowers the temperature of the refrigerant vapor, causing it to condense into liquid form.
The warm water, now heated from absorbing the refrigerant’s heat, is collected at the bottom of the condenser and either recycled back into the system or disposed of. This process is akin to a cooling tower where heat is dissipated through evaporation.
Evaporative condensers are efficient because they utilize both air and water to cool the refrigerant, making them suitable for large-scale cooling applications where water conservation is feasible.
Overall, evaporative condensers are valued for their energy efficiency and ability to handle large heat loads effectively in industrial and commercial settings.

An evaporative condenser refrigeration system combines the functions of a cooling tower and a refrigerant condenser in a single unit. By evaporating water into a forced airstream over condensing coils, it achieves condensing temperatures up to 8°C lower than air-cooled systems.
Every 1°C reduction in condensing temperature lowers refrigeration compressor power consumption by approximately 2% to 3%, enabling large dairy chilling plants to save hundreds of thousands of rupees annually on electrical bills.
Aviva manufactures condensing coils from continuous prime surface AISI SS 304 stainless steel tubes or heavy hot-dip galvanized steel, enclosed in heavy-gauge stainless steel or UV-stabilized FRP casings.
Our condensers feature non-clog large-orifice water distribution nozzles, high-efficiency PVC drift eliminators (drift loss < 0.001%), and continuous sump bleed-off systems that prevent mineral scale accumulation.
