Univap TCME 5ED Evaporator With Electric Defrost Unit

Applications & Use Cases

• Maintaining chilled storage temperatures for perishable goods in food processing facilities.
• Cooling walk-in chillers and cold rooms within food manufacturing and distribution.
• Providing refrigeration for ingredient storage areas in bakeries, dairies, and meat processing plants.
• Used in conjunction with external condensing units to form a complete refrigeration system.

Typical Specifications

Typical cooling capacity

For this class of evaporator, cooling capacities commonly range from 5 kW to 15 kW, depending on the specific model variant and application.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply for the evaporator fans and defrost heater, with control circuits often 230V single-phase.

Defrost method

This unit features electric defrost, which is common for maintaining efficiency in low-temperature or high-humidity environments.

Refrigerant compatibility

Evaporators of this era are typically compatible with common HFC refrigerants such as R404A or R507, though buyers should confirm the specific refrigerant for this unit.

Airflow

Airflow rates for industrial evaporators are typically designed to ensure uniform temperature distribution within the cold room, varying with the unit's capacity and fan configuration.

Construction material

Casings are commonly made from coated steel or aluminium, with copper/aluminium finned coils, suitable for food processing environments.

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is an evaporator and how does it work?

  An evaporator is the indoor component of a refrigeration system where liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the air inside a cold room, turning into a gas. This cooled air is then circulated back into the room.
