Difference Between Evaporative Fluid Cooler Vs Evaporative Condenser
| Feature | Evaporative Fluid Cooler | Evaporative Condenser |
| Primary Function | Cools a Liquid | Condenses a Refrigerant |
| Type of Heat Rejected | Sensible Heat | Latent Heat |
| Typical Coil Fluid | Water, Water-Glycol Mix | Refrigerant (e.g., R134a, Ammonia) |
| Part of a… | Process Cooling Loop | Refrigeration Cycle |
Analogy:
- A Fluid Cooler is like a car radiator that keeps coolant from overheating.
- An Evaporative Condenser is like the condenser coil in your A/C unit (but super-sized and more efficient).
