The new AC130 dual-circuited, brazed heat exchanger is designed for air conditioning and refrigeration duties with capacities ranging from 20 to 60 tons. Its Equalancer System™ distributes refrigerant evenly across the plate and through the plate channels, providing maximum heat transfer in a minimum of space, permitting close temperature approaches, and decreasing the need for superheating, says the company. The unit can perform as an evaporator or a condenser in either water chillers or in ground-source heat pumps.
