Dry Mode

The refrigerant gas discharges from the compressor into the inlet connection of the eco-ATC-A condenser. Ambient air is drawn into the unit and moves over the heat transfer coil. Heat from the refrigerant transfers to the air through the finned tubing. The cool tube walls cause the refrigerant gas to give up heat and condense into a liquid. The condensed liquid flows out of the coil to the high-pressure liquid receiver for return to the system. The hot discharge air is drawn through the drift eliminators and discharged into the atmosphere.
Evaporative Mode

The refrigerant gas discharges from the compressor into the inlet connection of the eco-ATC-A condenser. Water from the condenser’s sump circulates over the condenser coil, while ambient air is simultaneously drawn into the unit. As the ambient air moves up through the coil section, a portion of the spray water evaporates into the air stream. The evaporative process cools the spray water, which in turn cools the tubes containing the refrigerant gas. The cool tube walls cause the refrigerant gas to give up heat and condense into a liquid. The condensed liquid flows out of the coil to the high-pressure liquid receiver for return to the system. The hot, saturated discharge air is drawn through the drift eliminators and discharged into the atmosphere. The water which was not evaporated falls into the sump and recirculates to the water distribution system above the condensing coil section.
