LFX - Agricultural storage cooler0 pages
General information & application
The Helpman LFX air cooler series has been specifically
designed for the refrigerated storage of agricultural produce.
These coolers are characterised by an optimised capacity/
air volume ratio and a relatively low profile. All models have
been optimised for air temperatures around 0 °C and a small
temperature difference to avoid product dehydration.
Evaporating temp. +5 to -10 °C
Refrigerants all H(C)FC, brine, CO2
Capacities (SC2) 7 up to 29 kW
Air volume 5,100 up to 22,400 m3/h
Standard configuration
• Finned coil
- 2 coil block modules
- 6 tube rows deep
- Cu tubing ø 1/2”
- Tube pitch 38 x 38 mm square
- Aluminium fins
- Fin spacings 7 mm.
• 3-8 Fans, blowing through the coil. Diameters Ø 305 mm
or Ø 356 mm. Enclosed design spray-tight fan motors,
protection class IP55. Motors are equipped with a thermal
safety device in the windings, connected to separate terminals
in the box.
• Fans with elevated external pressure to ensure optimised
air distribution.

in wooden crate, module 2 mounted on wooden beams.
Installation can take place with use of a forklift.
Test
Design pressure 33 bar, higher design pressures on request.
Each heat exchanger is leak tested with dry air and finally
supplied with a nitrogen pre-charge. Brine coolers are tested
at 6 bar.
