Friga-Bohn Evaporator | 3C-E 3142 E | Compact Single-Fan Unit Cooler with Electric Defrost
Product Description
The 3C-E 3142 E is a robust cooling solution optimized for spaces where a compact footprint is required without sacrificing performance.
- 3142: Denotes a single-fan configuration using a 300 mm motor. The “42” indicates the specific coil capacity class, providing a balanced surface area for efficient heat exchange in smaller volumes.
- E: Specifies the inclusion of the factory-fitted Electric Defrost This unit features high-quality stainless steel heaters in both the coil block and the drain pan, which is vital for maintaining airflow and efficiency in applications operating near or below 0°C.
In the UAE, the 3C-E 3142 E is commonly found in restaurant walk-in chillers, small butchery cold rooms, and supermarket prep areas. Its cubic design allows for efficient airflow distribution, ensuring that products are cooled uniformly even in the high-ambient heat of Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
Key Features
- Integrated Electric Defrost (E): Essential for low-temperature use or high-humidity environments. The heaters ensure rapid ice removal, preventing blockages and maintaining peak efficiency.
- Compact Cubic Design: Maximizes the use of vertical space in the cold room while providing a powerful air throw for its size.
- High-Efficiency Coil: Built with internally grooved copper tubes and corrugated aluminum fins to maximize cooling duty while keeping energy consumption low.
- Durable Coastal Build: The galvanized steel casing is protected by a white polyester powder coating, offering excellent resistance against the corrosive salt air of the UAE.
- Easy Maintenance: Features removable side panels and a hinged drain pan, allowing technicians quick access for cleaning and servicing.
