What's the difference between condenser and cooler

Today both Condenser and Cooler are very important heat exchanging components in commmercial or industrial refrigeration equipments, which are widely applied in many fields. Lots of customers who look for UAR for model selection are curious about the difference between Condenser and Cooler. So let’s make a brief introduction.

1)Phase change doesn’t occur in Cooler while it happens in Condenser. Generally, the difference lies in the spot and tube diameter of inlet and outlet. Connection tube in/outlet diameter varies a lot more than Cooler’s, which can be observed and compare obviously.

2) The second difference between Condenser and Cooler is their configuration of baffle plate. To Condenser its baffle plate construction is usually mounted left and right while Cooler’s are mounted up and down. One reason is their different heat exchange rate.

3) Intercooler has liquid level meter and liquid level control port while Condenser doesn’t have any. For intercooler, its gas inlet and outlet locates on top of vessel with tube diameter basically same sized. But Condenser’s liquid outlet locates at the bottom of vessel, and its outlet tube diameter has much different tube diameter. Intercooler’s ammonia inlet and outlet locates at the bottom of vessel while Condensers’ are not. For vertical Condenser, its inlet and outlet port locate up and down, for horizontal type they locates at one end of the vessel.

In summary, if phase changing occur inside then it belongs to Condenser, when it doesn’t then it’s Cooler. Gas enters Condenser from top of shell, where there forms a condensing surface area and gas gathers on the top too, so baffle plates are settled left and right as to prolong stay of condensate liquid for continuous cooling. For Cooler, after feedstock is delivered inside, baffles plates will be mounted up and down in order to allow coolant fully filled whole Cooler, making use of full heat exchanger area.

How to design a water chiller system with AHU for pharmaceutical factory workshop | Hstarschiller.com

  Nowadays, it’s become more and more aware of pharmaceutical enterprises to realize the significance of building an efficient and green to environment cooling system in the factory, because it can not only help the owner to save the running cost but also contribute to the society by reducing the emissions, especially for those developed countries . But how to design a simple but energy saving cooling system with clean workshop? Below we are going to give you a real case for your reference to help you understand well, especially for those are quite new to the water chiller system field. Firstly,this project has been done by  H.Stars Group  ,including the system design,equipment manufacturing and installation etc. Below is the detailed project overview to help you understand the owner’s requirement . Project address: one of the pharmaceutical factories located in China Project desire: Requesting a constant temperature with humidity for oral solid preparation workshop Proje...

Where are water-cooled chillers used? What is a chiller used for?

  Water-cooled chiller   is a cooling water device that can provide constant temperature, constant current and constant pressure. A chiller is a machine that achieves refrigeration through vapor compression or absorption cycles. These liquids can flow through heat exchangers to cool the air or equipment. The industrial chiller can always output ice water with a lower temperature than the ambient temperature. It can be used wherever cooling is required, either direct cooling or indirect heat exchange. The main components of a water-cooled chiller are compressor, condenser, evaporator, water pump, and water tank. Chillers have a wide range of applications. The chiller can be used to cool the injection mold, improve the quality of plastic products, cool the vacuum coating, control the temperature of the vacuum coating machine, cool the food industry, fast cooling processing, chemical industry, effectively control the temperature of chemicals, cooling buildings, concrete fast Cool...

How is the Refrigeration Industry Leading the Green Development with R404A

  As global environmental concerns continue to rise, the refrigeration industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported overseas are now increasingly adopting the eco-friendly refrigerant R404A, leading the way in the industry's green development. Here's a deeper look into this trend. Why Is R404A Becoming the Preferred Refrigerant for  Water-Cooled Low-Temperature Units ? R404A is a blend of refrigerants that stands out due to its environmentally friendly properties. It is free from Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and has a relatively low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an ideal substitute for traditional refrigerants. This balance between high-performance cooling and environmental friendliness has made R404A especially popular in regions with strict environmental regulations, such as Europe and North America. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported to these areas are now commonly equipped with R404A to meet local ...
