Water-Cooled Condenser
The Lynxcool Water-Cooled Condenser is a high-efficiency heat rejection component designed and manufactured in China by Lynxcool Industrial Refrigeration. It transfers the heat of condensation from the high-pressure refrigerant gas discharged by the compressor to a flowing water stream, condensing the refrigerant vapour into a high-pressure liquid ready for expansion. Water-cooled condensation consistently achieves lower condensing temperatures than air-cooled alternatives — typically 5–10°C lower at equivalent load conditions — which directly raises compressor efficiency and system COP.
Our Water-Cooled Condensers are precision-engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern refrigeration systems.Our condensers come in three main types, each suited for different applications:
1. Shell-and-Tube
Industry standard for large industrial and commercial systems.
Robust design for high-capacity cooling.
2. Brazed Plate
Compact and highly efficient for medium-capacity applications.
Saves space while maintaining excellent heat transfer.
3. Double-Pipe
Ideal for challenging water quality conditions.
Easy to clean and resistant to fouling.
We configure every condenser to meet your project needs — refrigerant type, water quality, design pressure, and regulatory standards (ASME, EN 13445, or GB 150). Standard refrigerants include R134a, R404A, R507A, R448A, R449A, R22, ammonia (R717), CO₂, and HFO blends.
Key Features
High-Efficiency Heat Transfer: Optimized copper-aluminum coil design enhances heat rejection while minimizing water usage.

Note 1: Nominal parameter design is based on operating conditions; condensation temperature Tc=40°C, evaporation temperature Te=2°C, subcooling degree Tsuc=4°C, inlet water temperature Ti=30°C, and outlet water temperature To=35°C. Note 2: Flange connections are used for interfaces c and e with diameters ofφ54 mm or larger.
Note 3: Changes in cooling water inlet/outlet temperature or condensation temperature, along with alterations in structure and dimensions.

Why choose us?
We have been designing and manufacturing water-cooled condensers in China for over 20 years. Our production facility combines pressure vessel certification, full material sourcing, and application engineering under one roof. Whether you need a standard brazed plate unit for an HFC chiller, a large ammonia shell-and-tube condenser for a food processing plant, or a seawater-cooled marine unit, we can deliver the right solution — complete with documentation and after-sales support.
1. Certified Pressure Vessel Manufacturing
Not every manufacturer is qualified for pressure vessels. Our China facility holds ASME VIII Div.1 (U-stamp), PED 2014/68/EU, and GB 150 certifications. Certified welders, on-site NDT testing (radiography, ultrasonic, dye penetrant), and complete documentation ensure every unit meets the highest standards.
2. Expert Application Engineering
Selecting the right condenser is more than picking a size. Our engineering team calculates heat transfer, predicts pressure drops, reviews materials, and sizes connections. For special refrigerants, water chemistries, or operating conditions, we perform full thermal simulations. Every order comes with selection reports and dimensional drawings.
3. OEM Flexibility and Custom Design
We manufacture to your specifications: custom connections, non-standard nozzles, special materials, marine approvals, and third-party inspections. We work directly from your P&IDs and data sheets. Lead time: 4–8 weeks for repeat orders, 8–14 weeks for first-article custom tooling.
4. Consistent Quality at Competitive Pricing
By manufacturing in China, we deliver ASME or PED-certified condensers at 25–40% below European equivalents. OEM customers and contractors benefit from substantial cost savings without compromising quality or certification.
5. Global Delivery and After-Sales Support
We ship by sea, air, or through regional distribution partners. Spare tube bundles, end covers, and gaskets are stocked for all standard models. Long-term OEM partners can maintain buffer stock in our China warehouse, ensuring uninterrupted production schedules.
