Refrigeration Cycle: Water-Cooled Condensers November 10th, 2026
A “water-cooled condenser” is a heat exchanger that uses circulating water to reject heat from the refrigerant. Typically, water-cooled condensers utilize shell and tube, plate and frame, or plate and shell heat exchanger designs. Unlike air-cooled condensers, which use ambient air for heat rejection, water-cooled condensers rely on water as the cooling medium, providing efficient heat […]
