Condenser Pump Cooling Tower

Piping condenser cooling tower losses and.

Condenser pump cooling tower.

Cooling towers and condensers are heat exchanger devices but work in opposite directions. Include a fouling factor on pipes when sizing your pump. It must also provide the energy head necessary to raise water from a low to a higher static head level. The system has been designed so that the condenser water leaving the cooling tower and re entering the chiller condenser must be around 27 c 80 6 f in order to be able to pickup enough heat on it s next cycle.

The condenser wate r pumps run at a constant speed flow. This hot gas passes through condenser where it is cooled and condensed into a liquid giving up its btus via heat exchange with the cooling tower loop. For the tower piping circuit the pump must overcome the piping flow friction loss. Capacitors transform a substance from a gas into a liquid by cooling it with air or water from a cooling tower.

Remember ashrae now assigns a maximum pipe size on cooling tower condenser water systems. The substance then releases latent heat during the condensation liquids with a lower energy state than the gases and is then transported to the. Size the pump discharge piping per ashrae 90 1 2010 design tables. The condenser water leaves the condenser of the chiller at around 32 c 89 6 f and the pump sends this up to the cooling tower.

At this point the refrigerant is in the form of a high pressure high temperature liquid.
