Abstract
The present invention provides an evaporative condenser capable of ensuring cooling performance without generating pressure loss, and provides an evaporative condenser comprising: a condensation module; a water injection module for spraying; and a blowing module, wherein the condensation module has stacked N header rows, each comprising: a first header which is disposed at one side thereof and in which a flow path is formed; and a plurality of connecting tubes for connecting the flow paths of the first header and the second header between the first header and the second header, and, here, N is a natural number greater than or equal to 2.
Claims18
An evaporative condenser comprising:
- a condensation module including a fluid passage;
- a water spray disposed on the condensation module and spraying water passing through the condensation module;
- and
- a blower disposed on one side of the condensation module and providing air passing through the condensation module,
- wherein N header rows are stacked in the condensation module in a third direction, where N is a natural number of 2 or more, wherein the header row includes a first header extending in a first direction and having a flow path formed therein, a second header extending in the first direction and having a flow path formed therein, and a plurality of connection tubes extending in a second direction between the first header and the second header and connecting the flow path of the first header and the flow path of the second header,
- the first to third directions are different from each other, and
- the condensation module, the water spray, and the blower are arranged to pass the water sprayed by the water spray and the air provided by the blower between the plurality of connection tubes of the condensation module,
- wherein, in the condensation module, a fluid inlet is connected to a first header row, and a fluid outlet is connected to an Nth header row,
- the third direction stacked from the first header row to the Nth header row is opposite to a direction in which the blower supplies the air, and
- in the condensation module, the fluid inlet is connected to the first header of the first header row, and a flow path hole is formed between the first header of the first header row and the first header of a second header row disposed above the first header row.
