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-EJETME 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:
- Optimized DX ejector technology for stable system operation.
- Lower operating cost
- Smaller line sizes and reduced overall installation costs
Advanced Materials & Design Features
Superior Stainless Steel Technology
U-EJETME 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 airside 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-EJETME 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
