According to the stored product type, correctly select the air speed driven by evaporator DL, DD and DJ.
The airflow velocity of DL, DD and DJ evaporators is the key parameter that affects the temperature uniformity and storage products. There is no universal speed suitable for all refrigerating rooms; It must adapt to the type of goods to be preserved.
For finished frozen products, it supports relatively high air velocity, from 2.0 m/s to 2.8 m/s. The product has been frozen and there is no obvious dehydration. High speed is beneficial to the temperature uniformity of the whole camera, even if the shelves are very busy.
On the contrary, for unfrozen fresh fruits, vegetables and meat, high speed will produce strong surface dehydration. In these applications, it is necessary to work at a lower speed in the range of 0.8 m/s to 1.5 m/s to reduce the water loss in food.
In the fermentation or ripening room of some products, very smooth airflow is needed. The rotating speed higher than 0.6m/s may change the biochemical process of the product, thus affecting the final quality.
The air flow rate depends on the evaporator model DL,DD,DJ, the number and type of fans and the installation height. With an oversized evaporator and keeping the fan at the highest speed, you will get too high thrust speed for sensitive products.
If the room has elevated and narrow corridors, the air must have sufficient speed to reach the farthest point of the evaporator. If the speed is too low, it will produce air with higher temperature and destroy the thermal uniformity.
A common project mistake is to select the evaporator only according to the refrigeration capacity, without checking the propulsion speed data in the catalogue. The rated temperature can be reached, but the goods are damaged due to the internal cold air.
FNH, FNH,FNV,FNVT condensers do not define the air velocity in the chamber, but if their poor performance changes the evaporation conditions, the overall performance of DL, DD and DJ evaporators will be indirectly changed.
FAQ
What is the air flow rate in the frozen product chamber? Between 2.0 m/s and 2.8 m/s, good temperature uniformity is allowed.
Why slow down the speed of fresh fruits and vegetables? High speed leads to food dehydration and weight loss.
What is the recommended speed range for fresh unfrozen products? It is recommended to be between 0.8 m/s and 1.5 m/s.
What if the air speed is too low in a large camera with shelves? An air stagnation region with a higher temperature is generated.
Is the evaporator only selected according to the refrigeration capacity? No, you must also check the air thrust speed in the technical catalogue.
