Evaporator 3CE3143R + E1U Friga-Bohn

Friga-Bohn Evaporator | 3C-E 3143 R + E1U | Single-Fan Unit Cooler with Defrost

Product Description

The 3C-E 3143 R + E1U is a high-performance single-fan unit engineered for medium-sized cold rooms.

• 3143: Denotes a single-fan configuration with a 300 mm motor. The “43” represents a mid-to-high capacity coil within this frame size, providing more heat exchange surface than the 41 or 42 models.
• R: Specifies the fin spacing optimized for Medium Temperature storage ($+2^{\circ}C$ to $+12^{\circ}C$). It is designed to maximize cooling duty while maintaining energy efficiency.
• E1U: Indicates the factory-fitted Electric Defrost Even in positive temperature rooms, high humidity in coastal UAE can cause frost buildup; the E1U kit ensures the coil stays clean and airflow remains unobstructed.

In the UAE, this model is a favorite for supermarket walk-in chillers, floral storage, and pharmaceutical cold rooms in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. It provides the necessary power to pull down temperatures quickly while being compact enough to maximize internal storage space.

Key Features

• Enhanced Single-Fan Performance: The 3143 coil offers a higher cooling capacity (kW) than standard entry-level models, making it ideal for rooms with high product turnover.
• Factory Defrost (E1U): Integrated stainless steel heaters in the coil and drain pan allow for automatic frost removal, preventing the “icing up” common in humid Gulf climates.
• Optimized Air Distribution: The cubic design ensures an efficient air throw, reaching the back of the cold room to maintain a uniform temperature.
• Corrosion-Proof Protection: The casing is made of galvanized steel and finished with a white polyester powder coating, protecting it from moisture and salt-air corrosion.
• Sanitary Construction: Designed with rounded corners and a hinged drain pan for easy cleaning, ensuring compliance with UAE food safety regulations.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Why do I need defrost (E1U) if my room is at $+4^{\circ}C$?
  • A: In the UAE, high ambient humidity enters the room during door openings. This moisture freezes on the coil (which is much colder than the room). The E1U kit clears this frost automatically to keep the unit running efficiently.
• Q: Is this model suitable for a freezer?
  • A: While it has defrost heaters, the “R” fin spacing is best for medium temperatures. For deep freezing ($-18^{\circ}C$), the 3C-E 314… L or E series is usually preferred.
• Q: Does it work with the new R448A refrigerant?
  • A: Yes, the unit is fully compatible with modern, eco-friendly low-GWP refrigerants.
