Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015172180A1] An evaporative condenser (10) for use in a refrigeration or air-conditioning system comprises one or more condensing coils (12) arranged in a condensing coil zone (13). The coils condense therewithin a refrigerant of the system. The condenser also comprises a mechanism (14, 15) for wetting the one or more condensing coils (12). The condenser further comprises drift eliminators (30) arranged to remove free water from an airstream A that has flowed past the one or more condensing coils and wetting mechanism (14, 15). The condenser additionally comprises a divergent zone (40) that diverges from the condensing coil zone (13) towards the drift eliminators (30) such that, once the airstream has flowed past the one or more condensing coils (12), it flows into and through the divergent zone 40 to the drift eliminators (30).
