U-Tube bundle evaporators

In these evaporators the refrigerant flows in a bundle of U-shaped tubes; the refrigerant connections are therefore on a single head. Optimized for R410A, R32, R452B, R454B or for low temperature operation, the EV.U guarantees optimal mass flows, such as to guarantee oil return even with scroll compressors.

• Powers from 50 kW up to 2200 kW

Heat Pumps

Dry expansion evaporators can also be used in condensing mode, for heat pump and/or refrigerant cycle inversion systems. The good efficiencies and the versatility of configuration make them excellent alternatives where you want to standardize the layout of the exchangers in low and high pressure circuits. Available with design pressures up to 50 bar and temperatures up to 150° C, Wieland Provides heat pumps are in step with the market needs for low GWP refrigerants or natural refrigerants, such as the increasingly used propane.

The highest efficiencies with the lowest refrigerant charge – Over 10000 kw capacity available

Complete range of standard flooded evaporators

With integrated internal heat exchange good for guaranteeing high superheat and subcooling

In flooded evaporators, the refrigerant evaporates outside the pipes. The state-of-the-art heat exchange pipes, internally and externally finned, together with the distribution of refrigerant - both at the evaporator inlet and at the suction - guarantee the achievement of very high efficiencies. 

Beyond this advantage, compared to dry expansion evaporators, the partialization of the load can be lower. Through the use of jet pumps (supplied as an option) it is possible to use the flooded / spray evaporators also for oil systems. The removal of the caps allows the cleaning of the bundle and therefore the preservation of efficiency over time.

Flooded evaporator

• Thermal powers from 50 kW up to 10 MW.
• Temperature approach down to 0.5K.
• Up to three refrigerant circuits; the tubes are expanded into intermediate tube plates, guaranteeing the seal between the circuits.
• Different configurations possible with 1, 2, 3 or 4 water passages.
• Absence of liquid entrainment thanks to the dedicated design of gas distributors for suction.
• Available optionals: elastomeric foam insulation, electric heaters, jet pump, Victaulic or flanged water connections, water filters.
• Regulation by means of refrigerant level control or subcooling temperature (liquid line).

Spray technology

Initially used for compact evaporators, the use of spray technology was subsequently implemented on S&T flooded evaporators.

Depending on the geometry, the saving of the refrigerant charge ranges from 50% up to 70%, compared to a flooded solution of the same size and performance.

The low level of the refrigerant allows it to be used easily even with screw compressors, as the oil concentration is relegated to a smaller amount of liquid and therefore easier to tap through the jet pumps. 

The non-flooded area of the bundle also allows the spray evaporator to be used as a liquid receiver, as it can accommodate tens of kg of extra refrigerant without undergoing changes in efficiency.

The experience gained has made it possible to apply spray technology even to larger models. Environmental regulations impose increasingly stringent limits therefore reducing the amount of refrigerant is a big advantage, especially for large volumes.

To date, the revision of the project is available with the ESWT spray top version: the liquid refrigerant inlet positioned at 45 ° above the center line saves an additional charge of refrigerant and reduces the space required at the base of the exchanger.

Spray evaporator

• Refrigerant charge down to 70% less compared to an equivalent flooded solutio.
• Version with liquid inlet from above (top feeding), optimizing the lower spaces.
• Performances, geometries and configurations such as flooded evaporators.
• High efficiencies and temperature approaches < 0.5K can be achieved with spray technology too!

Dual circuit spray evaporator

• Two independent cooling circuits to better track changes in cooling demand and increase system reliability.
• In case of circuit failure, the side that has remained in operation can still provide sufficient cooling until it is restored.

Compact CSF and CCF heat exchangers

The idea of a water-condensed refrigeration unit, compact, efficient, reliable and easy to maintain, found concreteness with the compact CSF and CCF heat exchangers. 

The modular configuration (for redundancy or for capacity increase), the small footprint suitable for lifting in industrial goods lifts, the shell iron casing and the hinged caps to be able to inspect and clean the tube bundle are just some of the strengths of the our compact.

Usable with both oil-free and screw compressors, the compact heat exchangers - tested for a design pressure of 18 bar - can be used with HFC, HFO and propane refrigerants.

Compact flooded evaporators and condensers

• Ideal for reduced spaces: compact volume 1300x1020x383 mm.

• Possibility of having any number of water outlets as needed, according to the required ΔT in/out.
• Cleaning the tube bundle on the water side is possible WITHOUT the need to disassemble the water system, thanks to the hinged caps.

Shell and tube heat exchangers for heat rejection up to 12 MW

Heat recovery possibility (partial or total) in the same shell.

Medium or high efficiency condensers, even for marine application! 

In the recent decades Wieland Provides has designed flooded condensers suitable to cover any need: from the most compact dimensions to models able to dispose of the highest powers so far required in the field of industrial and process refrigeration; from cost-optimized single-pass counter-current solutions up to highly efficient 2 or 4 water pass models.

Some characteristics of our condensers:

• State-of-the-art heat transfer tubes, internally and externally finned, allow for more compact heat exchangers.
• Headers can be removed so to clean the tube bundle and therefore preserve the efficiency over time.
• Heat rejections from 50 kW up to 12 MW.
• Temperature approach as low as 0.5K.
• Different diameters and types of heat transfer tubes available
• Different shell side configurations: ‘standard’ with refrigerant distributor (TEMA X), counter-current (TEMA E), 2 liquid outlets (TEMA J12), etc.
• Up to three refrigerant circuits; the tubes are expanded into the intermediate tubesheets, guaranteeing the seal between the circuits.
• Different configurations available with 1, 2, 3 or 4 water passages.
• Marine construction available in cupronickel (CuNi90 / 10 tube bundle, plated tube sheets, ceramic treatment on the caps and sacrificial anodes) or titanium.
• Optional configurations for total heat recovery (2 water circuits side by side) or partial recovery (second water circuit using the desuperheating zone).

Dual refrigerant circuits condenser

• Two independent refrigerant circuits so to follow the demand of the heat rejection and to increase the reliability of the system.
• In case of failure of one circuit, the working one will guarantee the partial operation until it is restored.

Reversible condenser

• Coming from the need to have a reversible flooded condenser, the CB.RV family combines the heat transfer efficiency in condensation with the possibility to use the same heat exchanger for defrosting cycles (shell side evaporation with inversion of the refrigerant cycle).
• This configuration is appliable to the different sizes of the standard condenser models, after verification by the Technical Department.

Desuperheater

• The construction is similar to the condenser one; the desuperheaters are the best solution to achieve a heat recovery.
• The low pressure drops on the refrigerant side allow to use the sensitive heat without compromising the efficiency.

Compact condenser

• Ideal for reduced spaces: compact volume 1300x1020x383 mm
• Ideal for naval installations (without roll and pitching problems)
• Modular
