What kind of room temperature does DL series air cooler support in fresh food preservation application?

DL series air coolers are specially designed for positive and negative temperature range, and are not suitable for frozen or ultra-frozen storage.

The rated operating range of DL series air coolers is+-2°C to-2 C.. This range is optimized for the preservation of fruits, vegetables, eggs and dairy products that do not need to be frozen. If it runs continuously at a temperature lower than-2 C, it will lead to serious frost accumulation in its 4.0-4.5 mm blades.

When the operation approaches the lower limit of-2 C, the frequency of thawing cycle increases significantly. Field data show that DL needs to be thawed every 8-10 hours in a-2 C room. If it is artificially lowered to-5 C without changing the equipment, the melting interval can be shortened to only 2-3 hours. This makes the total energy consumption of the system as high as 33%.

The capacity performance of DL also varies according to the operating temperature within its effective range. At the room temperature of+8 C, its actual capacity reaches 96% of the catalog value; When it approaches-2 C, its effective capacity drops to 78% of the nominal power in technical documents. This factor must be included in the size calculation.

DL series coolers can be naturally thawed, standard electric thawed, or upgraded to D series water thawed variant according to project needs. However, manufacturers like xindacool do not recommend using hydrolysis at the working point near-2 C, because hydrolysis in the drainage system has the risk of freezing.

The relative humidity of the camera should be kept between 80% and 85% RH in order to make full use of the best performance of DL. Humidity higher than 88% will accelerate frosting, even within the effective heat range of the equipment. In these cases, it is necessary to review the separation of fins and adjust the frequency of the planned thawing cycle.

A common engineering mistake is to choose DL cooler to reduce the cost of freezing room with DD equipment. Although the camera can reach the low temperature temporarily, the operation of the equipment exceeds its design specifications, thus shortening its estimated life by 40%. The rated service life of these industrial evaporators is 8 to 10 years.

When pairing DL with FNH, FNV or FNVT air-cooled condenser, the actual heat load of the insulation room should be calculated, and the rated power of the evaporator should not be used directly. The 15% safety margin of actual load is still mandatory to cover the peak ambient temperature in summer.

FAQ
What is the rated temperature range of DL series coolers? Working temperature is between+12 C and 2 C, and it is used for fresh agricultural products storage room.
What happens if DL below-2 C is used continuously? Greatly improved the melting frequency and energy consumption up to 33%.
Can DL be equipped with D series hydrolysis system? Technically, this is possible, but it is not recommended to approach the limit of 2 C per drainage.
What is the estimated service life of DL under rated conditions? Under the design conditions, its reference service life is 8 to 10 years.
What relative humidity is the best choice for DL operation? Ideally, the indoor relative humidity should be kept between 80% and 85% RH.
When determining the capacitor size associated with DL, which ranges are applicable? Maintain a safety margin of at least 15% on the calculated actual heat load.
