How to Match the Air Cooler Evaporator with the Outdoor Condensing Unit?

The air cooler evaporator and outdoor condensing unit composed the cold room refrigeration system. The match of the air cooler evaporator and the outdoor condensing unit plays an important role in cold room.

If the cooling capacity of the condensing unit is larger than that of the evaporator unit, it will have problems:

The heat exchange area of the evaporator unit is not enough, the refrigerant in the evaporator coil can’t be fully evaporated, resulting in the refrigerant failing to absorb enough heat before returning to the compressor, thus affecting the refrigeration effect.

When the condensing unit (or the compressor) cooling capacity is larger than the evaporator, the excess refrigerant will fill the evaporator with liquid refrigerant, resulting in liquid hammer, and the liquid refrigerant will damage the compressor.

Please contact us for the  “Match table of outdoor condensing unit and evaporator for the cold storage room”. It is very helpful for you to choose the right unit according to this match table.

How to Choose the Danfoss Expansion Valve for Air Cooler Evaporator?

The quality of the expansion valve in the refrigeration system will directly affect the operation life of the entire system. Glen Refrigeration offers cold room evaporator pre-installed Danfoss thermostatic expansion valve to ensure the quality. The selection of a suitable Danfoss thermal expansion valve affect the cooling performance and refrigeration effect.

When the thermal expansion valve does not match the refrigeration system, it will affect the refrigerant flow of the system, resulting in the affection of the cooling performance.

When the Danfoss thermal expansion valve is too small, the supply of the refrigerant in the evaporator will be insufficiently, generating a large super-heat, which will have an adverse effect on the system performance.

When the the Danfoss thermal expansion valve is too large, the refrigerant in the evaporator will be oversupplied, resulting in the liquid refrigerant entering the compressor, causing liquid hammer. So Glen refrigeration offers the “Expansion valve selection table” for our evaporator unit for cold room.

Thermal expansion valve installation

The installation of the thermal expansion valve is very important. The following are installation precautions:

The thermal expansion valve should be installed as close to the evaporator inlet as possible.

When installing, the expansion valve body should be placed vertically and cannot be tilted or upside down. Usually, the valve body is installed at the outlet of the dry filter.

The Danfoss EXV temperature sensor bulb should be installed as close to the horizontal suction pipe at the evaporator outlet as possible and away from the compressor suction port. Vertical installation is not allowed.

It is necessary to ensure that the temperature sensing bulb is close to the suction pipe and wrapped with insulation cotton.

Different diameter of the suction pipe, the installation angle of the txv sensing bulb is different. When the diameter of the return pipe is less than 25mm, the txv sensing bulb can be tied to the top of the return pipe.

The casing of slim type air cooler evaporator and dual discharge evaporator are made of aluminum magnesium alloy sheet metal with powder coating. The alloy of aluminium and magnesium has the advantages:

  • Lightweight. Making the installation and transportation of the cold room evaporator more convenient.
  • Good anti-corrosion performance. The oxide film formed on the surface of aluminum alloy has good corrosion resistance.
  • Long service life. Due to the corrosion resistance and high strength of al mg alloys, it ensures the long service life of the evaporator for cold room.

Air Cooler Evaporator Casing

Galvanized sheet metal

The box evaporator comes standard with high-quality galvanized sheet metal with powder coating. It has the features:

  • Corrosion resistance. The galvanized sheet metal with powder coating  provides very effective protection of the unit cooler evaporator casing against corrosion from rust, corrosion and decay, thus extending the service life of the steel.
  • Long service life. One significant advantage of galvanized sheet is its high strength. So the galvanized sheet metal casing can effectively protect the evaporator coils from external forces.

Air Cooler Evaporator Casing

304 stainless steel sheet

Glen Refrigeration provides 304 stainless steel sheet casing for cold storage evaporator.

  • Corrosion resistance. 304 stainless steel plate has excellent corrosion resistance and can resist the erosion of most chemicals. It can be used for a long time in acidic, alkaline and salt water environments, and is not easy to rust and corrode, so it is widely used in chemical industry, food processing, medical equipment and other fields.
  • Easy to clean. The surface of 304 stainless steel is smooth and easy to clean, which is particularly suitable for industries with high requirements on sanitary conditions, such as the food and pharmaceutical industries. Therefore, it is widely used in cold storage of food industry.

Evaporator Coil Defrost Heater

When walk-in cooler condensing unit and evaporator work, the evaporator coil surface will frost. If don’t defrost in time, the frost layer will affect the heat exchange of the evaporator coil and reduce the refrigeration efficiency. The frost layer will also increase the wind resistance of the cold room fan motor and reduce the air volume of the air cooler evaporator. So it is important and necessary to defrost regularly. The high reliability of the evaporator defrost heaters is very important to prevent the walk in cooler evaporator freezing up. ‌

Evaporator Pan Heater

When the evaporator defrost heater works the frost is melt and the water flows into the water pan of the walk in cooler evaporators. Because the temperature of the freezer room is very low, the water will freeze quickly. The purpose of evaporator pan heater is to melt the ice of water pan. The evaporator drain pan heater works together with the evaporator coil heater, ensures the normal operation of the cold room evaporator.

Evaporator Fin

The evaporator fins purpose is to increase the heat exchange area of the condenser coil or evaporator coil and improve the heat exchange efficiency. According to different functions, it has pure aluminum foil and coated aluminum foil. The coated aluminum foil used in air conditioning and refrigeration industry mainly includes blue aluminum foil and golden aluminum foil.

  • The blue aluminum foil is also called hydrophilic aluminum foil. condensed water will quickly disperse on the hydrophilic aluminum foil and will not condense into water droplets, thereby increasing the heat exchange area, speeding up the cooling and heating speeds, and effectively avoiding the noise caused by condensed water blocking the air flow.
  • The golden aluminum foil fins have excellent corrosion resistance, which can effectively reduce the corrosion of heat exchangers caused by acid rain, air pollution, etc. This corrosion resistance makes the service life of air cooler evaporator and reduces the frequency of maintenance and replacement.

Danfoss Expansion Valve

The Danfoss expansion valve can be pre-installed in the air cooler evaporator. Glen Refrigeration offers unit coolers with Danfoss expansion valve to make out customers to use more conveniently. The main functions of Danfoss expansion valves are as follows:

  • Throttling: When the medium-temperature and high-pressure liquid refrigerant pass through the expansion valve, it becomes low-temperature and low-pressure refrigerant, creating conditions for the evaporation of the refrigerant.
  • Controlling the flow of refrigerant: When the refrigerant enters the evaporator, it evaporates from liquid to gas, absorbs the heat from the cold room and lowers the temperature in the cold room. The expansion valve controls the flow of refrigerant to ensure that the outlet of the evaporator is completely gaseous refrigerant. If the flow is too large, the outlet contains liquid refrigerant, which may enter into the compressor and cause liquid hammer; if the refrigerant flow is too small, it will evaporate prematurely, resulting in insufficient cooling.
