Evaporators and Condensers

Complete solutions for refrigeration systems

The evaporator is the component in a refrigeration system where the refrigerant vaporizes and absorbs heat. It absorbs ambient heat and cools the inside of the appliance. The condenser, on the other hand, condenses the vaporized refrigerant and releases heat. These components play a vital role in systems such as air conditioners and refrigerators. The evaporator transforms the liquid into vapor at low pressure, while the condenser transforms the vapor into liquid at high pressure, thus facilitating heat transfer.

Evaporator: Heat absorption by vaporization

Condenser: Heat release through condensation

Applications: Refrigeration and air conditioning systems

Types of evaporators and their applications

Plate evaporators

These evaporators optimize the heat exchange surface area and accelerate heat transfer by maintaining the liquid in a thin layer. They are generally preferred for processing viscous liquids and offer high heat transfer efficiency.

Tubular evaporators

Ideal for a wide variety of high-temperature resistant chemical liquids. The steam or hot liquid flowing through the tubes is efficiently heated. Suitable for applications requiring high temperatures.

Rotary evaporators

Primarily used in laboratories for separating small quantities of solutions. They evaporate a solution by heating it in a rotating flask, allowing for rapid and efficient evaporation. Ideal for quickly removing solvents from solutions.

Types of condensers and their specific characteristics

Air condensers

Areas of application: Small-scale commercial refrigeration systems, air conditioning systems

Features: Fan-generated airflow cooling, low water consumption, easy installation

Water-cooled condensers

Areas of application: Large industrial facilities, thermal power plants

Features: Direct contact with water or aqueous solution, high thermal efficiency, suitable for high capacities

Evaporative condensers

Areas of application: Industrial installations with significant cooling requirements, regions with hot climates

Features: Utilizes the principle of water evaporation, excellent energy efficiency, significant water savings

Seawater tubular condensers

BCM series marine condensers, essential components in the maritime industry, offer excellent seawater compatibility thanks to their special alloy tubes. They condense the high-temperature, high-pressure refrigerant gas from the compressor using seawater. These condensers hold recognized quality certifications in the maritime sector and are among the most sought-after brands on the global market due to the quality of the materials used and their advanced design.
