Product catalog summary
General Information & Application
The Helpman THOR-F air cooler series is designed for refrigerated storage of agricultural produce, featuring an optimized capacity/air volume ratio and a low profile. It is suitable for air temperatures around 0°C to prevent product dehydration. The evaporating temperature ranges from +5 to -10°C, and it supports various refrigerants including H(C)FC, brine, and CO2. Capacities range from 18 to 52 kW, with air volumes between 12,800 and 36,000 m3/h.
Standard Configuration
The standard configuration includes a finned coil with two coil block modules, six tube rows deep, and Cu tubing with a 5/8” diameter. It features corrugated aluminum fins with 7 mm spacing, 3-7 fans with diameters of Ø 406 mm or Ø 457 mm, and spray-tight fan motors with IP55 protection. The casing is corrosion-resistant, made from aluminum/Sendzimir with a white epoxy coating. Additional features include hinged drip trays, optimized refrigerant distribution, and easy installation with forklifts.
Testing and Design Pressure
The design pressure is 33 bar, with higher pressures available on request. Each heat exchanger is leak tested with dry air and supplied with a nitrogen pre-charge. Brine coolers are tested at 6 bar.
Options
Available options include defrost systems (hot gas coil or electric defrost), various drip tray insulation materials, refrigerant connections, and an isolating switch. Models are available for brine applications with standard Cu soldering connections.
Benefits
The THOR-F series offers application-based design to secure product quality, optimized air distribution, and energy efficiency. It is Eurovent certified, easy to install, and comes with a two-year product guarantee.
Air Cooler Selection & Dimensions
Selection and pricing are performed using the "HelpmanSelect" Air Heat Exchanger selection software, which provides technical data and dimensional drawings. For full technical documentation, contact the sales organization.

THOR-F - Agricultural storage cooler -1

General information & application The Helpman THOR-F air cooler series has been specifically designed for the refrigerated storage of agricultural produce. These coolers are characterised by an optimised capacity/ air volume ratio and a relatively low profile. All models have been optimised for air temperatures around 0 °C and a small temperature difference to avoid product dehydration. Evaporating temp. +5 to -10 °C Refrigerants all H(C)FC, brine, CO2 Capacities (SC2) 18 up to 52 kW* Air volume 12,800 up to 36,000 m3/h * Higher capacities on request Standard configuration • Finned coil - 2 coil block modules - 6 tube rows deep - Cu tubing ø 5/8” - Tube pitch 50 x 50 mm square - Corrugated Alu-fins - Fin spacings 7 mm. • 3-7 Fans, blowing through the coil. Diameters Ø 406 mm or Ø 457 mm. Enclosed design spray-tight fan motors, protection class IP55. Motors are equipped with a thermal safety device in the windings, connected to separate terminals in the box. • Fans with elevated external pressure to ensure optimised air distribution. • Corrosion resistant casing material: Aluminium/Sendzimir, white epoxy coated (RAL 9003). • Hinged, enclosed end covers. • Hinged driptray, drain(s) 32 mm PVC connection, freely adjustable into either horizontal or vertical position. (please use illustration) • Refrigerant distribution optimised to refrigerant applied. • Refrigerant connections on right hand side (fan side view). • Fitted with schräder valve on the suction connection for testing purposes. • Sufficient room for fitting the expansion valve inside. • Suitable for dry expansion or pumped system. • Stickers indicate fan direction and refrigerant in/out. • Delivery in mounting position. Coolers are mounted on wooden beams. Installation can take place with use of a forklift. Test Design pressure 33 bar, higher design pressures on request. Each heat exchanger is leak tested with dry air and finally supplied with a nitrogen pre-charge. Brine coolers are tested at 6 bar. THOR-F Agricultural storage cooler THOR-F
