Carlisle Refrigeration - KELVION EVAPORATOR & REFRIGERATION PLANT

• Maintaining precise temperatures for food storage and processing areas.
• Cooling production environments to ensure product quality and worker comfort.
• Rapid chilling of ingredients or finished products in food manufacturing.
• Providing refrigeration for large-scale cold rooms or distribution centres.

Typical cooling capacity

For this class of equipment, cooling capacities commonly range from 50 kW to 500 kW, suitable for areas up to 3000m³ or more.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Refrigerant type

Modern units commonly use HFC refrigerants such as R404A or R407C, or increasingly natural refrigerants like R290 or R717.

Mounting

This specific unit is described as ceiling-mounted, which is common for optimising floor space in production environments.

Control system

Typically features an integrated control panel for temperature set points, fan speed, and defrost cycles.

Dimensions

Dimensions vary significantly by capacity, but ceiling-mounted evaporators are designed to be compact for their output.

• What is a packaged refrigeration unit?

  A packaged refrigeration unit is a self-contained system where all major components (compressor, condenser, evaporator, controls) are integrated into a single housing, simplifying installation.

• What maintenance do these units typically require?

• Can these units be used for freezing applications?

• What is the typical lifespan of a used chiller unit?

• Are these units suitable for outdoor installation?

Chillers and recirculating coolers hold strong reputation in laboratory and biotech sectors for temperature stability and process reliability. Buyers typically prioritise checking refrigeration system condition, pump functionality, and temperature control accuracy when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment favours models with robust construction and established service records. Common strengths include consistent cooling performance, energy efficiency relative to age, and durability when properly maintained. Verification of calibration history and cooling capacity specifications remains essential before purchase to ensure suitability for sensitive applications.
