ZCX Cross-Flow Evaporative Condenser – Efficient, Compact & Low-Scale

The HACST ZCX Cross-Flow Evaporative Condenser delivers superior refrigerant condensation using cross-flow air and spray over coil, enhanced by high-efficiency fill media. Built with durable corrosion-resistant materials and clog-resistant nozzles, ZCX ensures long-term performance with low maintenance—ideal for industrial refrigeration, HVAC, chemical plants, food processing, and cold storage.:contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Working Principle

Refrigerant vapor condenses inside a finned coil while spray water forms a thin, uniform film over its exterior. Ambient air is drawn horizontally across the coil, enhancing evaporation cooling. The addition of high-efficiency PVC fill further reduces spray water temperature and scale formation. Drift eliminators minimize water loss and the basin re-circulates spray water efficiently.:contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

Key Benefits

• Cross-flow cooling with supplemental fill optimizes heat transfer while protecting coil surfaces from dry spots and scale build-up.:contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
• Energy and water efficient—direct-drive axial fans and an electronic de-scaler minimize power usage and blowdown.:contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
• Built for durability—constructible in galvanized steel or 304/316 stainless for corrosion resistance.:contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
• Low maintenance thanks to clog-free nozzles, patented coil design, and accessible basins.:contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
• Compact & adaptable for tight spaces with modular design and optional electronic scale control.:contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}

Technical Range (Typical Reference)

Engineering Options

• Modular cell design for phased capacity expansion.
• Optional SMART de-scaler with real-time blowdown control.
• Cold-climate kits—freeze protection via basin heaters or drain-down mechanisms.
• Access enhancements—side platforms, coil cleaning ports, and spray alignment checks.

Selection Guide

• Choose ZCX when you need a compact condenser with cross-flow cooling plus fill to maximize thermal performance.
• Ask for the electronic de-scaler if using hard or high TDS water to preserve coil cleanliness.
• Define available installation footprint and available slab loading—modular units help in tight logistics.

Operation & Maintenance

• Monthly: verify spray pattern, clean strainer, inspect nozzles.
• Quarterly: check and clean fill, inspect eliminators, verify de-scaler operation.
• Annually: coagulation/flushing, drift test, fan motor inspection and lubrication.

FAQ

Q: How does the combined flow configuration relate to ZCX?
A: ZCX uses cross-flow fill only. For additional efficiency in humid environments, consider the ZHX combined-flow model, which adds film cooling over the coil first.:contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
