VERTICAL EDDY-TYPE EVAPORATIVE CONDENSER Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC F28B1/02 

FIELD: refrigerating engineering.

SUBSTANCE: the vertical eddy-type evaporative condenser has an axial-flow fan with profiled blades, eddy heat exchanger in the form of a tube twisting the air flow with U-shaped ribs fastened on the outer surface and forming ducts for passage of the refrigerant agent, separator, water collecting tray, filter, circulation pump, comb and nozzles for irrigation of the tube inner surface. The tube is vertical and air flow is fed into it from the bottom upwards at an angle of 30-60 deg. to the tube generating line, and water is injected into the counter-flow through the nozzles. The condenser has a trap for collection of the water film drained over the tube inner and outer surfaces, at the bottom of the tube the fan body is positioned with a clearance in the mentioned trap, the separator is installed in the upper part of the tube and provided with a trap with a perforated bottom, positioned in the lower part of the separator, and with a truncated rim guiding the water flow in the form of a film over tube outer surface.

EFFECT: enhanced efficiency.
