Condenser of Centrifugal Water Chiller
The high-pressure refrigerant vapor is discharged from the compressor into a heat exchanger that acts as a condenser.
In a water-cooled condenser, water is pumped through the tubes of the shell and-tube heat exchanger while refrigerant vapor fills the shell space surrounding the tube bundle.
A baffle inside the condenser helps distribute the refrigerant evenly. As heat transfers from the hot, high-pressure refrigerant Vapor to the water, refrigerant condenses on the tube surfaces.
Cooling water flows first through the lower tubes and then through the upper tubes.
This produces a nearly constant temperature difference between the downward-moving refrigerant and the tube surfaces, resulting in a uniform heat transfer rate within the tube bundle.
Condensed liquid refrigerant collects in the bottom of the shell and flows through the liquid line to the expansion devices and economizer.
