Evaporative condensers are both necessary and feasible for use in the cooling systems of power plant refrigeration units.

(1) The development of evaporative condensers should first focus on theoretical innovation and improvement, seeking breakthroughs in new theories. The development of heat transfer tubes, the improvement of tube types, and the modification of tube surface properties are important aspects of the development of evaporative condensers. Especially after power plant condensers changed from external tube condensation to internal tube condensation, their heat transfer performance and structure have undergone significant changes, requiring theoretical guidance and innovation in these areas.

(2) In refrigeration unit manufacturers, evaporative condensers cool water vapor or fuel gas, while the working media cooled by evaporative condensers currently used in petrochemical and refrigeration equipment in my country are ammonia, Freon, or hydrocarbons. For evaporative condensers to be applied in thermal power plants, the cooling system must be adapted to the properties of water vapor or fuel gas in terms of process arrangement, structural design, and operation.

(3) Due to the vast territory of my country and the great differences in climate conditions in various regions, the condensation effect of evaporative condensers is greatly affected by climate conditions. Therefore, evaporative condensers should be designed in accordance with the local conditions of my country.
