Two methods of unit selection are provided on the following pages. The heat rejection method is always recommended
and the selection can be made via BAC’s free product selection software, or manually as described below.
Note: Consult your local BAC Representative for evaporative condenser selections for systems utilizing the following:
99Hydrocarbon refrigerants such as propane, butane, or propylene
99Centrifugal compressors
99Rotary screw compressors with water cooled oil coolers
99Ammonia evaporative condensers with desuperheaters
99Halocarbon evaporative condensers with subcooling
››Selection Procedure
The Base Heat Rejection of the CXVB and CXV-T Evaporative Condensers are shown in Table 1. Tables 2 and 3 present
capacity factors to be applied to the system heat rejection for various condensing temperatures, entering wet-bulbs, and
refrigerants.
99Establish total heat rejection required in thousands of BTU per hour (MBH): 9
Total heat rejection = compressor evaporator capacity (MBH) + compressor BHP x 2,545.
99Determine the refrigerant and design conditions for condensing temperature and entering wet-bulb temperature.
99Using the appropriate table for the system refrigerant and model (Tables 2 or 3), determine the capacity factor for the
design condensing temperature and entering wet-bulb temperature.
99Multiply the total heat rejection by the capacity factor determined in the previous step.
99From Table 1, select the evaporative condenser whose Base Heat Rejection equals or exceeds the corrected heat
rejection calculated in the previous step.
