Shell and tube condensers
Shell and tube condensers, pivotal components within water-cooled chillers, are masterfully engineered to orchestrate the efficient exchange of heat in the refrigeration cycle. Configured with a cylindrical shell housing a bundle of tubes, these condensers facilitate the intricate dance between the hot refrigerant and circulating water. Crafted from materials with high thermal conductivity, the tubes serve as conduits for the water, while refrigerant flows around them within the shell, creating an optimal environment for heat exchange. As the hot, high-pressure refrigerant...
