More info

This article discusses evaporative condensers as applied in industrial refrigeration systems, and considers the potential for applying variable frequency drives as a means of achieving peak refrigeration system energy efficiency. The principles and results in this article also are relevant to the limited cases where evaporative condensers are applied in air-conditioning or commercial refrigeration systems.
