Warm room air is drawn into the evaporator across the cooling coil. Refrigerant is circulated through the coil of the evaporator. Heat from the air is absorbed by the refrigerant through the coil tubes causing a portion of the refrigerant to evaporate. The air is cooled as it travels through the coil and is discharged into the room.

Optimized Coil Design

Heat Exchanger Coil

The coil tube diameter, geometry, and circuiting have been optimized through thousands of hours of theoretical modeling and laboratory testing.    

• Through the use of computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling software, finite heat transfer analysis, and proprietary coil performance calculation methods, EVAPCO engineers have identified significant design elements to improve the finned coil performance
• The circuiting program used on all EVAPCO coils has been optimized based on actual coil operation in EVAPCO’s world class research laboratory

The result is optimal heat transfer efficiency with low airside pressure drop and low motor horsepower per ton.

Innovative Coil Technology

CrossCool

U-SSTME Series evaporators use stainless steel tubes featuring CrossCool, an internal tube enhancement that improves the internal film coefficient for more efficient heat transfer, resulting in:

• Reduced refrigerant charge
• Reduced refrigerant pump horsepower
• Lower operating cost
• Smaller line sizes and reduced overall installation costs

Advanced Materials & Design Features

Superior Stainless Steel Technology

U-SSTME Series evaporators are constructed with high-grade type 304L stainless steel tubing and aluminum fins as standard.

• Meets the requirements of ASME B31.5 refrigerant piping code
• Stainless steel tubes are available in 5/8 inch OD
• Coils are built in 3.3, 4.3, and 6 FPI as standard using a full-collar aluminum fin

For applications where corrosion of the aluminum fin is a concern, EVAPCO offers pre-coated epoxy fin stock.

EVAPCO also offers high performance stainless steel fins for applications where coatings are not acceptable, including any installation near open food products and production areas.

Efficient Evaporator Fans

EVAPCO’s extensive air side research and testing has identified fans with the best combination of efficiency and sound levels. Fans used in the ULTRA Series evaporators have performance curves generated in EVAPCO’s AMCA Fan Test Chamber, ensuring the fans perform as required to deliver the certified cooling effect and power ratings as stated in the equipment quotation and submitted data.

• Standard catalog models are selected to provide low sound levels
• EVAPCO’s low sound fan selections provide more comfort and a safer working environment for personnel entering the cold space

Durable Fan Motors

U-SSTME Series evaporators are supplied with Washdown Duty, totally enclosed air over (TEAO), foot-mounted fan motors with sealed bearings and low-temperature grease. Optional stainless steel motors are available. Standard fan motors are suitable for operation on variable frequency drive from ¼ horsepower fractional motors to 2 horsepower motors, and are suitable for 230/460-volt, 3 phase, 60 cycle applications.

• Standard motors are across-the-line start and operate at either 690, 870, 1160, or 1750 RPM
• All 870 RPM motors up to 1 HP, all 1160 RPM motors up to 1-1/2 HP, and all 1750 RPM motors up to 2 HP are equipped with automatic thermal overload protection.
• All fan motors, including fractional horsepower fan motors, are foot-mounted for improved durability in a wide range of operating conditions    
• All fan motors are pre-wired to a NEMA 4x junction box

Sloped Top Panels

Sloped top panels prevent accumulation of moisture from condensation or clean-up cycles.

Hygienic Drain Pans

All welded stainless steel construction with rounded corners and sloped in two directions to prevent water from pooling.

• Drain pans are factory mounted prior to shipment
• Drain pans are insulated as standard

Air Discharge Arrangements

Air discharge options impact free delivery of air and are not certified under AHRI Standard 420.

• Stainless steel long throw adapters for installation in large rooms or corridors
• 45° downblow configuration for layout flexibility

Defrost

• Air defrost with insulated drain pans
• Hot gas, coil only defrost with insulated drain pan
• Hot gas coil and pan with a hot gas coil under the inner drain pan.

The unique design of the hot gas drain pan provides for highly efficient defrost Hot gas defrost units may be piped with either parallel feed to coil and drain pan or series flow from drain pan to coil Hot gas pan-to-coil piping includes a factory mounted check valve

Electrical

Fan motors are prewired to a terminal box as standard.

• Wiring on one- and two- fan models terminate with leads inside a NEMA 4X junction box
• For models with three or more fan motors, a terminal strip is included to which the motor leads are wired Other electrical options include:
• Prewired to a terminal strip
• Prewired to a common non-fused disconnect
• Prewired to a disconnect with thermal overload protection

Fan Motors

Optional motors are available, including:
