Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What refrigerants can this evaporator handle besides R134a?
While designed for R134a, the same plate package can be used with other compatible refrigerants such as R404A, R407C, or R410A, provided the pressure and temperature limits are observed. Please consult our technical team for specific recommendations.
2. Can I use this evaporator for ammonia (R717) systems?
Ammonia requires special materials. Our standard copper-brazed units are not suitable for ammonia. For ammonia, we offer nickel-brazed stainless steel plate heat exchangers. Contact us for details.
3. What is the typical lifespan of this evaporator?
With proper system design and water quality control, the evaporator can last 10–15 years or more. Regular cleaning of the water side (if applicable) and avoiding excessive thermal shock will extend its life.
4. How do I select the correct plate count for my application?
The plate count depends on the required cooling capacity, refrigerant flow rate, and temperature difference. Our engineering team can perform a thermal calculation based on your operating conditions. Provide us with your evaporation temperature, superheat, and capacity, and we will recommend the optimal configuration.
5. Is this evaporator suitable for heat pump systems?
Yes, the compact design and high HTC make it ideal for both cooling and heating applications. The 20 Bar pressure rating covers typical heat pump operating pressures with R134a.
6. What are the available connection sizes?
Standard connection sizes range from 1/2" to 2" for solder and threaded, and flanged connections up to DN50. Custom sizes are available upon request.
7. Does the product come with a warranty?
Yes, we offer a standard 12-month warranty against manufacturing defects. Extended warranties may be negotiated for large orders. Our quality system is certified under ISO9001, ensuring consistent quality.
8. Can I get a sample before bulk order?
Absolutely. We support sample orders for evaluation. After validation, we can proceed with mass production, typically with lead times of 15–25 working days depending on quantity.
