Munters pre-coolers:
- reduce energy consumption
- increase cooling capacity
- reduce required size of compressor
- allow the air conditioner to run at maximum efficiency regardless of outside temperatures
Nearly all air conditioning units used in comfort and industrial plants today use air cooled condensers to reject heat collected in the building. Ambient air is used to cool the hot coil or the condenser. The capacity of the unit thus varies with the temperature of that ambient air.
As outside temperatures rise, the capacity of an air cooled air conditioner decreases. The result is a significant loss in effective heat transfer from the refrigerant to the outside air. This will cause higher kilowatt consumption and reduce cooling capacity. As a result, the air conditioner consumes more electricity and runs longer time to achieve the same interior cooling requirements.
By installing a Munters pre-cooler in front of the condenser the incoming ambient air will never exceed 25˚C.
