Low height evaporative condensers with centrifugal fans are the best solution when space is limited, especially in height. They are often designed with a vertical air intake when the installation is in a well.

EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS
An evaporative condenser condenses a refrigerant gas from a gaseous state to a liquid. By traveling along a coil from top to bottom sprayed with water with air in countercurrent, the refrigerant gas condenses and changes phase. Medium-large capacity refrigeration systems are usually water-condensed, especially if they use ammonia as a refrigerant. It is essentially a hybrid between an air-cooled condenser and a water-cooled condenser that uses heat rejection principles to follow an evaporative process.
The choice of a water-cooled condensing unit such as W-tech evaporative condensers over air-cooled units is simple:
Consistency of performance
during the year thanks to lower condensation temperatures
Greater thermal efficiency
during the winter/summer months
Optimal performance
thanks to the use of falling recirculating water with counter-current air
Lower electrical absorption
compared to an air unit
PRODUCT DATA SHEET
CONSTRUCTION FEATURES
W-Tech CCR, low profile centrifugal type evaporative condenser, are manufactured and assembled in accordance to our Quality System certified by ISO 9001.
MAGNELIS
All our machines are built as standard in Magnelis®, it is an eco-sustainable alloy made up of 93.5% zinc, 3.5% aluminum and 3% magnesium. The percentage of magnesium allows the self-repair process after cutting and punching operations and protects deformed surfaces. Another characteristic is the corrosion resistance, superior even in environments rich in chloride and ammonia. The maximum workability and greater resistance, compared to other materials, allows the use of a smaller quantity of metal coating and therefore a greater lightness of the machines.
STRUCTURE & ASSEMBLY
The standard unit is built with Magnelis® (steel, zinc, aluminium, magnesium) ZM310 type sheet metal panels to ensure maximum surface protection empirically comparable to a galvanized sheet metal with over 1000 g/m2 of zinc. The individual panels, following the cutting and folding phase, are assembled with AISI 304 (A2-70) or on request AISI 316 (A4-80) stainless steel small parts and highly adhesive butyl mastic gasket reinforced with polyester mesh inside to guarantee great shape stability and resistance to temperature variations. No welding is required in the various stages of assembly of the structure (self-supporting). The color of the sheet metal type Magnelis® is RAL 9006.
WATER COLLECTION BASIN
The basin section is built with a thick Magnelis® ZM310 sheet metal structure and is equipped with of removable anti-cavitation type filter in AISI 304L (to protect the primary circuit pump) and water make-up valve with brass/stainless steel body and floating sphere in stainless steel or polypropylene. The configuration of the basin is such as to allow the reduction of the volume of water and therefore a lower weight during operation. The surface of the basin is inclined to allow complete drainage and emptying in case of maintenance, avoiding water stagnation and preventing bacteriological development. All machine connections are made of galvanized steel (AISI 304L on request).
THERMAL EXCHANGE COIL
The standard heat exchange coil is made of smooth (optionally finned) carbon steel tubes (AISI 304L on request) of suitable diameter and thickness and bent following our proprietary geometry. Everything is hot-dipped galvanized in accordance with the UNI EN ISO 1461:2009 standard to guarantee perfect resistance to corrosion. Subsequently the coil is tested in compliance with the PED-CE regulation.
The machines are supplied with the coil pre-charged with nitrogen at a pressure of 3 bar.
WATER DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM
The water is uniformly distributed by a piping system inside the machine made of PVC with a Magnelis® sheet metal distribution box >. The spray nozzles are of the non-clogging type, of medium and large diameter, in ABS and easily replaceable in case of maintenance.
VENTILATION SYSTEM
(MOTORS + FANS)
Centrifugal fans, forward blades type, are made in galvanized steel statically and dynamically balanced. Fans are assembled on a painted steel shaft supported at both ends by self- aligning ball bearings, supports in cast iron. Protection fans grids in galvanized steel, are placed as for the most recent safety rule. Motors, IE3 efficiency class, with mechanical protection IP55, F insulation class, continue service S1, B3 form, are assembled on strong adjustable mechanical slides made in galvanized steel and placed in a position protected from atmospheric agents. Motion transmission is realized by “V” belts, calculated at 150% of nominal power. Motors are suitable to use together with frequency inverter (VSD-Inverter) 30-50 Hz. Electric motors are in accordance to the EU 2019/1781 norm. The terminals for power connection and the connection of any extras optional (anti-condensation heater and ptc thermistor) are inside the terminal box of the electric motor.
DROP SEPARATOR
Drift eliminators are made in PVC (PP on request) and divided in various sections to facilitate their removal in case of replacement or inspection of ventilation and water distribution system. The used drift eliminators allow a passage of drops equal to 0.001% of the droplets present at the entrance, removing water loss, potential aerosols drift that might contain Legionella bacteria.
TEST
All components are supplied assembled. Each unit, before delivery, is subjected to hydraulic testing, to ensure that there are no water leaks in the tank, and electrical to check that the electric motors have an absorption in line with the plate data.
