The AS series includes air-cooled or water-cooled (optional) condensing units built on the basis of the single-
block principle. They consist of:
1. an evaporator installed inside the cold room;
2. an insulating panel;
3. a condensing unit placed outside the cold room;
4. an electric control panel placed on the condensing unit.
AS single blocks
are compression units where cold is produced by vaporizing a liquid refrigerant (HFC type)
at low pressure in a heat exchanger (evaporator). The resulting vapour is brought again into the liquid state by
mechanical compression at a higher pressure, followed by cooling in another heat exchanger (condenser).
The compressor is hermetic, with reciprocating motion, supplied with single-phase or three-phase power.
Defrost takes place automatically in pre-set cycles, by injecting hot gas ( standard); manual defrost is also
possible.
Handling
The unit can be handled by lifting and transport means.
