Evaporator 3C-E-4266-R+E1U Friga-Bohn

Friga-Bohn Evaporator | 3C-E 4266 R + E1U | Commercial Unit Cooler

Product Description

The 3C-E 4266 R is a heavy-duty model within the professional “3C-E” range.

• 4266: Indicates a configuration with two high-output fans (400mm class) and an increased coil surface area, providing significant cooling capacity for larger volumes.
• R: Specifies the fin spacing optimized for Medium Temperature environments, ensuring high thermal exchange while managing airflow to reduce frost-related performance drops.
• E1U: Denotes the inclusion of the Electric Defrost kit, featuring integrated heaters in the coil block and the drain pan.

In the Middle East, this model is a staple for large supermarket cold rooms and food distribution hubs. The addition of the E1U defrost system is critical for these applications; it ensures that even with high humidity and frequent door openings, the unit can quickly clear frost buildup, maintaining the integrity of the cold chain and reducing energy consumption.

Key Features

• High-Efficiency Dual Fans: Two 400mm fans provide a powerful and long air throw, ensuring that chilled air reaches all corners of a large rectangular cold room.
• Enhanced Coil Surface: Utilizing internally grooved copper tubes and high-grade corrugated aluminum fins, the coil is designed for maximum refrigerant-to-air heat transfer.
• Factory-Fitted Electric Defrost (E1U): Armored stainless steel heaters are strategically positioned to provide rapid, uniform defrosting of both the coil and the condensate pan.
• Durable Polyester Coating: The galvanized steel casing is finished with a white polyester powder coating, offering excellent protection against corrosion and meeting international hygiene standards.
• Ease of Installation & Service: The design features a professional terminal box and removable side panels, allowing for quick electrical connection and easy maintenance access.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Why is the E1U defrost essential for this size of unit?
  • A: Large evaporators like the 4266 move a lot of air. In the UAE, this means more moisture is pulled from the air and deposited as frost. The E1U heaters ensure this ice is cleared automatically, preventing the unit from “choking” and losing cooling power.
• Q: Can this be used for deep freezing?
  • A: While it has defrost heaters, the “R” fin spacing is primarily for Medium/Positive temperatures. For deep freezing, Friga-Bohn’s “L” series (with 7mm fin spacing) is typically preferred to handle heavier frost loads.
• Q: How does the cubic design help?
  • A: The cubic shape allows for a very large internal coil surface within a relatively compact footprint, making it much more powerful than “slimline” units of the same length.
