LCR-C Chiller Units – Evapcold Advantages
- Very low ammonia charge – less than 1.0 lb/TR – inherently safe technology
- Chilled glycol in cooling coils or process load - resulting in no ammonia in refrigerated space
- Option available for heated glycol using efficient waste heat recovery. This can be used for coil defrosting, reheat or underfloor warming
- Option available for complete enclosure system with reach-in access
- Units can be mounted on ground or roof, indoors or outdoors
- Complete package microprocessor control system with remote monitoring capabilities
- EVAPCO self-performs 100% of the packaging scope of work

Easier & Lower Compliance Costs
Evapcold provides inherently safer technology, reducing the regulatory burden to owners and operators, and lowering compliance costs.
- Chiller contains small ammonia charge and is safer to operate, maintain and work around than traditional systems
- Allows owners to stay below Threshold Quantities mandated by OSHA & EPA regulations
- Reduces liability and exposure to fines
- EVAPCO provides operating and maintenance procedures, product hazard review, tagging, labeling and signage
- Evapcold complies with applicable codes and standards
Energy Savings
The Evapcold chiller product can reduce a facilities energy consumption and attain annual energy savings through the following features:
- Thermal properties of ammonia make the Evapcold package more efficient than packaged freon chillers
- Variable Speed Drives (VFD) on every compressor providing very efficient part load operation
- The chiller package is water-cooled which reduces system head pressure and energy consumption
- Very efficient plate and frame heat exchangers provide high thermal efficiency
- Evapcold’s built-in software provides energy-efficient capacity control and head pressure control
