Fitters Notes Series: Regulators for Water-Cooled Condensers
27 May 2009
In this article we turn our attention to mechanical cooling water regulators. These are valves that are used specifically for water-cooled condensers. Cooling water regulators can be pressure-controlled or temperature-controlled. Their purpose is to maintain a constant condensing pressure in the refrigeration system by adjusting the flow rate of the cooling water.
Useful practical tips for the everyday work of fitters is provided in the “Fitters Notes” series. The “Fitters Notes” series is based on the handbook of the same name produced by Danfoss, which discusses the basic principles of commercial refrigeration systems and the associated basic components.
