ECP EVAPORATIVE CONDENSERS

Technical Bulletin: 0306_216

Evaporative Condensers
Provide Refrigeration Solutions
Designed with New Innovative Coil Technology
To Provide Improved Thermal Transfer and Operating Performance
on Large Refrigeration Systems

ECP Evaporative Condenser is the preferred
heat of rejection method for large refrigeration
systems by combining superior water delivery
and coil technology.
■ Five cabinet sizes 10x18, 12x12, 12x18,
12x24 and 12x36.
■ 60 total models ranging from 331 to 1922
nominal tons.
■ Unique water delivery through patented 3/4”
diameter spray nozzle providing clog-free
operation that minimizes mineral build up.
■ Advanced design drift eliminators.
■ Heavy wall steel tube coil for longer coil life.
The coil assembly is hot dipped galvanized
after fabrication for added protection.

How It Works
ECP Series Principle of Operation –
Forced Draft, Axial Fan, and Counter Flow Design

1 PVC Moisture eliminators
minimize moisture loss while
maximizing airflow.
2 Water Recirculation Systems
combines PVC and stainless
steel for superior corrosion
protection while incorporating
spray nozzles that deliver 360˚
spray pattern for maximum coil
coverage.

3 Highly-Efficient Air Delivery
2 System allows maximum airflow
and is driven by high efficiency
totally enclosed motors.
4 The Water Delivery and Catch
System provides efficient
operation through a close-
coupled pump
driven by a high efficient totally
enclosed pump motor.

Model Selection

Selection Procedure 1 – Based on Heat of Rejection Method

Heat of Rejection Method is typically Example
applied with centrifugal, hermetic reciprocating, Given:
Type of Compressor Hermetic Compressor
or rotary screw type compressors for selecting
Entering Wet Bulb Temperature 74 ºF
an evaporative condenser. This method can also Compressor KW 55.0 KW
be used with an open compressor along with the Compressor Evaporator Capacity 850 tons
Evaporator Ton Method. Condensing Temperature 100 ºF
Refrigerant Type R22
Heat of Rejection by the compressor loads can be
calculated by using the following two formulas: Selection
1) Determine Total Heat Rejection
Open Compressors Evaporator - 850 tons x 12,000 = 10,200,000 BTU/hr
Heat Rejection = Compressor - 55.0 KW x 3413 = 187,715 BTU/hr
Evaporator Load (BTU/hr) + Compressor BHP x 2545
Total Heat of Rejection = 10,387,715 BTU/hr
Hermetic Compressors
Heat Rejection = 2) Correction for Design Conditions
Evaporator Load (BTU/hr) + Compressor KW x 3413 Capacity Factor for 74 ºF WB and 100 ºF condensing

Selection Procedure 2 – Based on Evaporator Ton Method

This method is only used when using an Example

open type reciprocating compressor application. Given:
Evaporator Head Load 500 tons
The condenser model numbers are equal to Entering Wet Bulb Temperature 74 ºF
the capacity of the evaporator condenser at Condensing Temperature 100 °F
Suction Temperature 10 °F
standard conditions of 105 °F condensing,
Refrigerant Type R134A
40 °F suction, and 78 °F wet bulb temperatures Unit Size -01
for R22 or R134 refrigerants. Selections using
non-standard conditions can be accomplished Selection
by using Tables 4 and 5 to select an adjustment Evaporative Capacity Factor = 1.08
Suction Pressure Capacity Factor = 1.09
factor. The adjustment factor would be
500 tons x 1.08 x 1.09 = 589 adjusted tons
multiplied by the system heat load in tons.
Then select the model that has an evaporator The following selection in the -01 size meets
ton load equal or greater to the calculated result. the capacity requirements.

 Performance Improvement Options
Dedicated Motor – Fan System
Provides a dedicated single motor per fan with
compartmentalized fan sections, which offers the
ability to cycle off a single fan while maintaining
other fans in operation. This option replaces the
standard single motor dedicated to a multiple
fan system.
Motor Options
Multiple motor configurations are available
including selections of premium efficiency, severe
duty, two speed, and various voltages and hertz
options.
Control Panel
Control system in NEMA 3R rain tight enclosure
is available for units. The control system operates
the fan motor and contains the following
elements:
■ Fused disconnect switch with an external
operating handle that is lockable in the off
position.
■ Fused control-circuit transformer to provide
120 volt control power.
■ Across the line magnetic contractor for each
primary motor speed.
■ Enclosure mounted “Hand Off Auto”
selector switch.
Other control panel options include a two-
speed control panel with a High-Low selector
switch and multiport terminal block for the
connection of alarms and auxiliary equipment.
Panel has a UL508A label for the control
enclosure. Please contact a sales representative
for more information about the NEMA 4X
enclosure.
Electronic Liquid Level Controls
Solid-state liquid level controls provide state
of the art system to control and monitor the
water level in condenser. Relays operating in
conjunction with suspended stainless steel
electrode probes monitor basin water levels,
providing simple solenoid valve water make-up
or discrete on/off signals to more sophisticated
automation controls. Optional configurations
might include makeup along with high and low
water level alarm and cutoff, or pump cutoff.
The electrode probes are 316 stainless steel
rods suspended from non-corrosive PVC box.
Multi-relay control panels are pre-wired to
terminals and mounted in NEMA 4X non-
metallic enclosure.
Vibration Limit Switch
A vibration limit switch interrupts power to
the motor in the event of excessive vibration.
Unless specified otherwise, a Metrix switch will
be provided. It is adjustable for sensitivity and
requires manual reset to assure that the unit will
be serviced to determine the cause of excessive
vibration. A double-pole, double-throw model
is also available.
Platform with Ladder and Handrail
Periodic inspection and maintenance of a
condenser distribution system is fundamental.
Therefore, safe and easy access to these
components is a significant value to the operator.
For maximum safety and convenience an access
platform with guardrails make this task as safe
and user-friendly as possible. The platform and
ladder is located on the side of the condenser
and does not add height to the overall unit.

Notes: 3. Unit may be placed on a flat concrete slab.

1. Recommended ECP condenser support is two I-beams, which would
run the length of model.
2. The supporting steel is to be designed, constructed, and furnished
by the customer. It shall include customer supplied anchor bolts
with washers. Unit will be predrilled at anchor bolt locations with
7/8” diameter holes to anchor to support steel.
4. Shipping weights do not include optional equipment.
5. Unit must not exceed 1/2” deflection at anchor bolts and should be
1/360 of span. This will ensure proper performance of condenser.
6. Unit should not be directly supported on vibration isolators.
If necessary the beam should be installed between base of unit
and isolators. Contact sales representative for any questions.

 Freeze Prevention

When the ambient air temperature falls below 32 ºF, the water in unit can freeze.

During shutdown, water collects in the pan and may freeze solid. Freeze protection is achieved
by adding heat to the remaining water in the unit or by draining the unit and all exposed piping
at shutdown.

Electric Pan Heaters

There are automatic basin water heater systems
available consisting of the components at right.
Note:
Any exposed piping that is still filled with water at
shutdown – including the makeup water line – should be
electrically traced and insulated (by others).
■ Stainless steel electric immersion heater(s).
- Threaded couplings are in the side
of the collection basin.
■ Control probe in the collection basin to
monitor water temperature level.
Heater components are normally shipped
separately for installation by others.
