Condensers

Air-cooled condensers for HFC and ammonia plant, built on the same flat bed and V-bank platforms as the dry coolers. The V-bank holds the footprint down as capacity goes up.

Best for Remote air-cooled condensing on HFC and ammonia refrigeration plant, cold storage and process refrigeration.

Questions buyers ask

All questions

What is an air-cooled condenser?

An air-cooled condenser rejects the heat from a refrigeration system to outdoor air. Hot refrigerant gas from the compressor condenses to liquid inside a finned coil while fans move air across it.

What capacity do KUHLWERX condensers cover?

249 to 13,939 MBH heat rejection on HFC, rated R404A, and 246 to 15,078 MBH on ammonia, both at 95°F ambient and 122°F condensing.

Flat bed or V-bank?

A V-bank puts the coils in a V under the fans, so it fits more coil surface in the same footprint. Flat bed units are lower and simpler to service. Footprint, sound and capacity decide it.
