Product Overview
Frick's evaporative condensers are designed for industrial refrigeration, providing lower condensing temperatures and up to 15% savings in compressor horsepower compared to traditional systems. These condensers are engineered for reliability, energy efficiency, and ease of maintenance.
Key Features and Benefits
  • Easy Maintenance: Features include spacious interiors, large access doors, basin sweeper systems, and tool-free water distribution systems.
  • Reliable Operation: Includes protected drive systems with a 5-year warranty, hot-dip galvanized coils, and year-round operation capability.
  • Low Installed Cost: Modular design facilitates easy shipping and installation, reducing crane costs.
  • Energy Efficiency: Equipped with premium efficient motors and optional variable frequency drives to reduce energy consumption.
Technological Advancements
Frick utilizes advanced technology in design and manufacturing, including Q-net technology for system control and Coolware software for system component selection.
Environmental Considerations
Frick employs natural refrigerants like ammonia and CO2, which are environmentally friendly with low ozone depletion and global warming potential.
Aftermarket Service
Frick offers ongoing support for its equipment, including priority order service for parts and a comprehensive online ordering system.
Specifications
Frick's evaporative condensers come in various models (e.g., XLP2, ECH, ECH-D) featuring corrosion-resistant materials, efficient fan systems, and comprehensive testing to ensure quality and performance.
Specifications Details
Key specifications include G-235 hot-dip galvanized evaporative condensers with a coil test pressure of 375 psig and a design operating pressure of 300 psig. The fan type is dynamically balanced, forward-curved centrifugal fans with a V-belt drive, and the nozzle type is a large orifice 360° non-clog design.
Capacity Control
Options include variable frequency drives, independent fan operation, and the Frick 1/3-2/3 fan system.
Maintenance Features
Units offer internal access for maintenance tasks such as adjusting the float valve, cleaning the strainer, and flushing the basin, with hinged access doors for easy entry.
Noise Abatement
Factory-designed sound attenuation is available for sound-sensitive applications.
Motor Design
Features totally enclosed motors for both the pump and fan.
Assembly and Testing
Units are fully factory assembled and water spray tested, shipped with the coil and pan assembled for easy mounting.
Evaporative Condensers Models
Includes traditional forced draft models with axial fans (XLP2), hybrid models (ECH), and low-profile centrifugal models (ECL), all designed for energy efficiency, reliability, and ease of maintenance.
Construction Details
Heavy-duty construction with G-235 hot-dip galvanized steel panels and a water distribution system using Schedule 40 PVC spray branches with large orifice, 360° non-clog nozzles. Coils are made of continuous serpentine steel tubing, hot-dip galvanized after fabrication, and pneumatically tested at 375 psig.
Control Systems
The Quantum™LX Condenser control system optimizes operation to maintain discharge pressure while conserving energy, featuring wet bulb control, defrost pressure setpoints, and summer/winter setpoints, with remote display access over Ethernet and software updates via USB drive.
Key Features
Energy-saving designs, superior corrosion protection, easy assembly and maintenance, premium efficient VFD motors, compliance with ASME B31.5 and IBC standards, and a 5-year warranty on motor and drive systems.
Conclusion
Frick's evaporative condensers provide a reliable, efficient, and environmentally friendly solution for industrial refrigeration needs, supported by extensive service and support.
