The reason for the compromises which cause
manufacturers to choose air cooled condensers
are easily understood.
For example spraying a 100 ml mist of water
per second equals 360 Liters per hour or app
3.6 tons of water per 10 hr day.
Which in one year of 300 days equals 1000 tons
if this is multiplied by 100 million consumers then
then the loss is one hundred billion tons of clean
water.per year.
That would make the price of bread even more
fucking outrageous than it is. So the next time you
enjoy a couple of slices of toast you should think
about that.

How about a recirculating system that uses the same water (+ makeup
for evaporation) over and over again.


The water would be sprayed on the coils, collected, pumped a few feet
into the 70* ground to cool, and sprayed again.

Go down 5' and get 55º.

Or, put underground coils carrying fluid into a heat exchanger and have a
"geothermal heat pump/AC".

First, I re-learned today (I forgot) that window AC units spray the
condensate on the coils.

Condensate spray on the coils is old-hat.

Another way is to pipe the freon underground and do away with the
water to water heat exchanger.
