Troubleshooting Fan Coil Evaporators, Part 2

In this part 2 of the series, I will look at the refrigerant feed arrangements for evaporators.

by Thomas J. Lemar, DualTemp Co.


Troubleshooting Fan Coil Evaporators, Part 1

The art and science of troubleshooting finned coil evaporator performance varies as much as the applications in which this refrigeration component is placed. To understand the performance of an evaporator, you must first understand what you are dealing with. Evaporator design, refrigerant feed and coil engineering all must be factored into evaluating performance.

Ammonia Pump-Out Systems, Part 4

At one food processing plant, a complete pump-out system was installed as part of the initial installation of the ammonia refrigeration system. It consists of a bank of pump-out valves, an oil regenerator, and a 50 hp pump-out compressor.

Ammonia Pump-Out Systems, Part 3

In Parts 1 and 2, I discussed the advantages and features of a pump-out system. Now, I’ll demonstrate how those features can be put to use via a case history at a representative frozen food plant located somewhere in the United States.

Ammonia Pump-Out Systems, Part 2

In Part 1, I discussed the advantages of a pump-out system, which include enabling safer operation of the ammonia refrigeration system and providing zero emissions during plant tie-ins. In this column, I’ll look at some typical features of a pump-out system

Ammonia Pump-Out Systems, Part 1

Pump-out systems, which used to be a relatively common component of many ammonia refrigeration systems, enable ammonia to be removed quickly and safely prior to maintenance work or system modifications.
