CONDENSER, ADIABATIC

is a condenser that has the ability to use two heat transfer processes in series as accomplished by a single factory-made unit. The first heat transfer process is the pre-cooling of the entering air by lowering the entering air drybulb temperature. The second heat transfer process is forced-air circulation cooling over the heat transfer surface of the condenser.

DRY MODE

is an operating condition of an adiabatic condenser wherein the only means of heat transfer is accomplished through forced-air circulation over the heat transfer surface of the condenser without any pre-cooling of the entering air.

PRE-COOL MODE

is an operating condition of an adiabatic condenser wherein the entering air is pre-cooled.
