Evapco has launched VersaSplit, a new condensing unit that the company deems the “world’s first” packaged low-charge ammonia (R717) mega-split refrigeration system, with up to six remote direct expansion (DX) evaporators operating at different temperatures.
The Evapcold LCR-S VersaSplit low charge ammonia condensing unit provides high pressure subcooled liquid ammonia to remote direct expansion (DX) evaporators.
Refrigeration capacities up to 130 TR for -10°F Freezers and 165 TR for +35°F Coolers/Docks are available, offering a versatile solution to meet the demands of new or retrofit installations.
Features & Benefits
- Direct-expansion system providing low ammonia charge averaging 4 to 6 lbs/TR
- Installation versatility with roof or ground mounting
- Reach-in enclosure with operational and maintenance access, ammonia detection and ventilation
- High quality screw compressors, valves, controls and piping (majority of piping inside enclosure is 304L stainless steel)
- Variable speed capacity control of compressor motor and condenser fan motors for maximum efficiency
- XPS insulation of low temperature piping and vessels with PVC jacketing, along with complete labeling and tagging
- EVAPCO adiabatic, air-cooled or water-cooled condensers available to meet site ambient conditions
- High pressure receiver sized to hold entire system charge
- Suction accumulator to ensure liquid free compressor suction during upset conditions
- Welded plate and frame DX liquid economizer/subcooler maximizing system capacity
- Dual compressors available for increased redundancy and capacity
- EVAPCO designed and rigorously tested industrial PLC based control system
- Glycol-cooled oil cooling for maximum system efficiency and reliability. On air-cooled units, oil cooling load is rejected to the condenser
- Engineered in accordance with industry codes, including: IIAR, IBC, OSHA, NEC and ASME
- Extensive documents package delivered with each unit reducing customer compliance scope through IIAR’s ARM-Low Charge Program Feeds up to six EVAPCO AHRI 420 certified ceiling-hung or penthouse evaporators
- Remote mounted panel with evaporator motor starters and I/O for evaporator control devices
- Optional variable frequency drives for evaporators
- Optional ship loose evaporator valve stations
