Torrent Shell & Tube Water Cooled Condenser
Cleanable Water-Cooled Condensers for Fresh Water & Sea Water Applications
Torrent shell-and-tube water cooled condensers are designed for refrigeration and HVACR systems requiring efficient heat rejection through a circulating water circuit. Available for fresh-water and marine / sea-water applications, the range combines heavy-duty construction, integral finned tubes and removable water boxes for practical servicing.
The Torrent Shell & Tube Water Cooled Condenser is a cleanable refrigeration condenser designed to reject heat from the refrigerant into a circulating water circuit. Within the Torrent range, Model F is intended for fresh-water applications while Model M is intended for sea-water / marine applications. Model C is a separate chiller-barrel configuration and should not be confused with the water-cooled condenser range shown on this page.
📌 Product Range Overview
