Key Advantages

 

Inner-Grooved Tubing & Precision Mechanical Expansion
• Inner Grooved Copper Tubing: Increases internal surface area by up to 60% and induces refrigerant turbulence, boosting internal heat transfer coefficients by 15% to 25% compared to smooth tubes.

• Vibration Resistance: The precision expanded joint prevents fin loosening caused by continuous fan vibration and cyclic thermal shock during defrosting.

 

Application-Matched Fin Spacing & Anti-Frost Geometry
• 4.5 mm to 6.0 mm Fin Spacing: Engineered for high-heat-flux medium-temperature applications (0°C to +5°C), maximizing coil surface area for chilled storage and process air handling.

• 7.0 mm to 9.0 mm Fin Spacing: Ideal for frozen storage rooms (-18°C to -25°C), delaying frost bridge formation to extend operation cycles between defrosts.

• 10.0 mm to 12.0 mm Fin Spacing: Purpose-built for blast freezers and quick-freezing tunnels (-30°C to -40°C), ensuring uninterrupted airflow endurance under severe frost conditions.

 

Corrosion-Resistant Material Formulations
• Hydrophilic Coated Aluminum: Prevents water droplet bridging, improves condensate drainage, and reduces air pressure drop.

• Epoxy Anti-Corrosion Coating: Endures 1,000+ hours of continuous salt spray testing under ASTM B117 standards, ideal for coastal cold storage and seafood processing facilities.

• 304/316L Stainless Steel & Cu-Ni Coils: Designed for sanitary food washdown zones, marine applications, and aggressive chemical processing environments.

 

Optimized Defrost System Integration

 

Defrost Mechanism

Recommended Application

Engineering Highlights

Electric Defrost

Commercial & Industrial Cold Rooms (-25°C to 0°C)

Stainless steel heating rods inserted into fin block holes and drip tray for rapid, localized frost melting.

Hot Gas Defrost

Large Logistics Distribution Hubs (-40°C to -18°C)

Channels hot compressor discharge gas directly through evaporator circuits. Reduces defrost energy usage by up to 60%.

Water Defrost

High-Humidity Food Processing (-10°C to +5°C)

Overhead distribution header washes frost away rapidly using high-flow water spray, maintaining rapid turnaround.

 

Quality Assurance & Leakage Prevention Protocol

 

To ensure a minimum 15-year service life in demanding industrial settings, every evaporator coil undergoes a 4-stage quality control process before shipment:

01/

Material Purity Verification: Spectrometric analysis verifies copper purity (TP2 / C12200, Cu >= 99.9%) and fin aluminum mechanical strength.

02/

Automated CNC Brazing: Headers and circuit distributors are joined using silver-alloy manual or orbital CNC brazing to eliminate cold joints and structural weak points.

03/

100% High-Pressure Submersion Testing: Coils are charged with dry nitrogen at 3.0 to 3.5 MPa (30 to 35 Bar) and submerged in clear inspection tanks for a minimum 30-minute leak check.

04/

Positive Dry Nitrogen Charge: Coils are vacuum-dried and sealed with a positive nitrogen holding charge (0.05 to 0.1 MPa) to prevent moisture ingress and internal oxidation during ocean transit.

 

OEM Customization Capabilities

 

Custom Casing Engineering: Heavy-duty galvanized steel with electrostatic powder coating, 304/316 stainless steel, or marine-grade aluminum sheet.

 

Fan Motor Assemblies: Equipped with high-efficiency axial fans or energy-saving EC (Electronically Commutated) fan systems meeting ErP eco-design directives.

 

Technical Documentation & Private Labeling: Complete CAD/STEP 3D model support, custom product data plates, factory pressure test certificates, and export-compliant wooden crate packaging.

 

FAQ

 

Q: What parameters are required to calculate the correct evaporator coil size?

A: To provide accurate performance calculations and circuit design, please provide:
(1) Target cooling capacity (kW or BTU/h),
(2) Evaporating temperature and room air temperature,
(3) Refrigerant type,
(4) Airflow volume (m3/h) or room dimensions,
(5) Maximum allowable casing footprint.

Q: Are your finned tube evaporators compatible with transcritical CO2 (R744) systems?

A: Yes. We manufacture high-pressure CO2 evaporator coils utilizing thick-wall copper alloy or stainless steel tubing and reinforced steel headers rated for design operating pressures up to 85 bar.

Q: How do you protect evaporator coils from marine or high-salinity corrosion?

A: For coastal or marine installations, we recommend 304/316L stainless steel tubes paired with epoxy-coated fins or full coil E-coating (Electro-deposition), certified to pass 1,000-hour ASTM B117 salt spray testing.

Q: What is the typical lead time for custom OEM evaporator coils?

A: Engineering drawings and thermal calculations are completed within 24 to 48 hours. Sample prototypes are produced within 5 to 7 working days, and standard bulk production orders are dispatched within 15 to 20 days after drawing approval.
