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

All SSTME Series stainless steel tubes feature 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

ChannelFlow

EVAPCO’s patented enhanced aluminum fin technology is proven to minimize airside pressure drop while improving overall heat transfer performance.

• The unique fin design allows for free drainage of condensate during wet operation without water carryover

Advanced Materials & Design Features

Superior Stainless Steel Technology

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
• The SSTME’s 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 featuring EVAPCO’s ChannelFlow fin technology

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.

Stronger Corrosion Protection

The casing and drain pans are constructed from G-235 hot dip galvanized steel with an option for type 304 stainless steel.

• G-235 is the highest level of mil galvanizing offered in the industry and exceeds the zinc protection that other manufacturers provide when using G-90 mil galvanized steel
• The higher level of galvanizing provides a greater level of corrosion protection for a longer product life

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 SSTME 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

All SSTME Series evaporators are supplied with totally enclosed air over (TEAO), foot-mounted fan motors with sealed bearings and low-temperature grease. Standard fan motors are suitable for operation on variable frequency drive from ¼ horsepower fractional motors to 5 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

Sloped in two directions to prevent water from pooling, the custom engineered drain pans in the SSTME Series evaporators are also equipped with swaged bottom outlets to ensure complete drainage.

• 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.
