Custom Spiral & IQF Evaporators

Custom Spiral & IQF Evaporators

Custom Spiral and IQF (Individual Quick Freezing) evaporators are specialized types of heat exchangers used in various industries, particularly in the food processing and refrigeration sectors.

Custom Spiral Evaporators:

Custom spiral evaporators are designed for efficient heat transfer in refrigeration and air conditioning systems. They are typically used in applications where space is limited, such as in compact refrigeration units or process chillers. The spiral design allows for a large surface area within a compact footprint, maximizing heat transfer efficiency.

These evaporators consist of a coiled tube, usually made of copper or aluminum, that is wound in a spiral pattern. Refrigerant flows through the tube, while the substance to be cooled, such as air or water, passes over the external surface of the coil. Heat is transferred from the substance being cooled to the refrigerant, causing it to evaporate and absorb the heat.

Custom spiral evaporators can be tailored to specific requirements, including capacity, size, and materials. They are often designed to match the performance requirements of the refrigeration or air conditioning system in which they will be installed.

IQF Evaporators:

IQF evaporators are specifically designed for Individual Quick Freezing applications in the food processing industry. Individual Quick Freezing is a process that rapidly freezes food products individually, preserving their quality, texture, and nutritional value.

IQF evaporators utilize a plate or fin coil design to provide efficient heat transfer. The food products to be frozen are typically spread out in a single layer on a conveyor belt or a bed plate, and the evaporator blows cold air over the products. The cold air removes heat from the food rapidly, freezing it quickly.

The design of IQF evaporators allows for precise control of the freezing process, with adjustable air velocity, temperature, and humidity. This ensures that each food product is frozen individually and remains separate from other products, preventing them from sticking together.

IQF evaporators can be customized to meet specific requirements, such as varying capacity, temperature range, and airflow patterns, depending on the type of food being frozen and the desired freezing characteristics.

Both custom spiral and IQF evaporators are designed to provide efficient heat transfer in their respective applications. They can be customized to meet specific requirements and are essential components in refrigeration and food processing systems.
