HAWKER LEADING EDGE DOUBLE SKIN CONDENSER. A section of leading edge double skin stainless steel condenser designed and made by Hawkers has been tested on our Installation Hangar. The object of the tests being to find the efficiency of this particular type for application to a fully evaporatively cooled system and its functioning. The result of these tests show that the condenser is very efficient and Ir. is compiling a full report on the application of this type of condenser which will be passed on to Hawkers for their consideration. The attached are the test results and leading particular of the condenser and method of testing. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/T.A.Gibson. | ||
