Evaporator MR170L Friga-Bohn

Friga-Bohn Evaporator | MR170L | Slimline Low-Temperature Unit Cooler

Product Description

The MR170L is a “ceiling-hugger” style unit that maximizes storage space by maintaining a very low vertical profile.

• MR: Denotes the “Mini” or “Medium” slimline range, optimized for smaller volumes.
• 170: Refers to the cooling capacity and size class within the MR series.
• L: Indicates Low Temperature / Large Fin Spacing. The “L” models typically feature wider fin spacing (around 6.0 mm to 7.0 mm), which is crucial for freezer applications to prevent ice from bridging between the fins and blocking airflow.

In the UAE, the MR170L is commonly used in ice cream storage, frozen meat walk-ins, and small pharmaceutical freezers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi. Its design ensures that even in a cramped storage room, air is circulated effectively across the ceiling and throughout the product.

Key Features

• Ultra-Slim Profile: Designed to be mounted flush against the ceiling, allowing for maximum racking height and storage volume in small rooms.
• Wide Fin Spacing (L Series): Specifically designed to handle frost buildup in freezing conditions, extending the time between defrost cycles.
• Efficient Air Distribution: Despite its small size, it features a high-performance fan designed for a steady air throw to maintain temperature uniformity.
• Corrosion Protection: Built with a white polyester-coated galvanized steel casing, providing resistance against moisture and humidity.
• Easy Installation: Lightweight and compact, making it simple for technicians to install in tight spaces with limited overhead clearance.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Q: Does the MR170L come with electric defrost?
  • A: Most “L” models in the MR range can be equipped with electric defrost heaters (often designated as +E) to handle the ice buildup typical of freezer rooms.
• Q: Why choose the MR series over the 3C-E series?
  • A: Choose the MR series if your ceiling height is very low. The MR series is much flatter than the cubic 3C-E series, saving valuable headspace.
• Q: Is it suitable for a small restaurant freezer?
  • A: Yes, it is ideal for walk-in freezers in cafes and restaurants where space is limited but reliable freezing is mandatory.
