Sept. 10, 2014: Johnson Controls Offers Stainless Steel Evaporative Condenser
Unit Saves Energy, Increases Lifespan for Industrial Refrigeration Applications
WAYNESBORO, Pa. — Johnson Controls has added the ECOSS™ stainless steel evaporative condenser to its Frick® line of industrial refrigeration solutions. The unit is designed to combat problems from changes in water treatment chemistry that can lead to white rust, corrosion, and decreased product life in conventional galvanized steel condensers.
Stainless steel construction has other advantages throughout condenser installation, operation, and maintenance, said the company. It is lighter than galvanized steel, so roofs and mounting platforms do not have to be built with the same load-bearing capacity. Stainless steel inherently resists scale formation, so that units require less cleaning and passivation downtime. The ECOSS evaporative condenser also incorporates many of Frick’s leading-edge technologies such as direct and variable speed drive fan options for reduced energy use.
