TECHNOLOGY EVAPORATIVE CONDENSATION

CITROTEC^® EVAPORATIVE CONDENSER

The Citrotec Evaporative Condenser was developed to provide maximum efficiency in vacuum vapor condensation, significantly reducing water and energy consumption while lowering plant operating costs.

Based on high-efficiency thermodynamic principles, the system enables greater energy recovery, increases the net power available for electricity generation, and contributes to more sustainable and reliable operations.

Its application is suitable for equipment requiring vapor condensation, such as evaporators, vacuum pans, and condensing turbines, and can be integrated into both new plants and modernization (retrofit) projects.
