The housing of a direct contact condenser has a partition with a manifold water supply adapted to discharge water to opposite sides of the partition. A plurality of showers are disposed below the elevation of the water supply and through which a gas stream will pass sequentially. Each shower receives water from one side of the partition. The last shower is provided with temperature sensors which are connected to a valve for controlling water flow in response to either the temperature of the fluid and the water at the last shower.

A direct contact condenser including a housing having a partition, a manifold water supply conduit having valves for discharge to opposite sides of the partition, means defining a plurality of showers below the elevation of said partition and through which a gas stream will pass sequentially, each shower receiving water from one side of said partition, means for introducing a gas stream sequentially through said showers, the last shower being provided with temperature sensors, means for controlling water flow from said supply conduit to said last shower in response to the differential of said sensors, and collection means for collecting water from said last shower while preventing the collected water from mixing with water from other showers, and an outlet chamber downstream from said last shower where noncondensible gases collect for subsequent treatment.
