Should the salt water pump for the refrigeration system be installed on the inlet pipe or the outlet pipe of the evaporator?
Thread Content
I’m a newcomer to this field and would like to ask everyone: in a refrigeration system, should the salt water pump be placed on the inlet pipe or the outlet pipe of the evaporator? I’ve seen that it’s often installed on the inlet pipe, but I’ve also heard that placing it there might cause erosion of the evaporator, leading to damage to it. What are the advantages and disadvantages of each placement? Thank you first
In the refrigeration systems I’ve seen, the salt water pump is located at the inlet pipe of the evaporator; in other words, the outlet pipe of the pump is connected to the inlet of the evaporator
We are in the ethylene glycol business. The process is roughly as follows: The ethylene glycol pump draws out ethylene glycol from the tank, sends it to the evaporator where it exchanges heat with the refrigerant, and then sends it back to the system or to the ethylene glycol tank.
