Can't seem to get rid of the icing problem in your freezers even though you
are defrosting four times a day? Low dewpoints (the dew point temperature is
the temperature at which a vapor begins to condense), are hard to achieve in
commercial freezers when the moisture level is high. Moisture comes from
several different sources -- warm air entering the freezers through door
openings, bad door seals, heat from warm products placed in the freezer, heat
from lights, motors, defrost cycles and not keeping the freezer door closed.
This moisture (called latent heat) is actually visible in the form of fogging,
condensation, frost and ice buildup. The largest buildup usually occurs at
the entrance door, conveyor opening and on the evaporators. Evaporators
require several defrost cycles to keep up with the moisture infiltration.
Icing compromises the entire system, reducing the capability of the cooling
system. This ice buildup reduces the airflow and causes the evaporator fans
to become unbalanced, resulting in costly maintenance.
The only way to reduce the icing problem is to reduce the amount of moisture
in the air. ICE IS NOTHING MORE THAN FROZEN MOISTURE. The Mega
Freeze® Filter System is designed to alleviate moisture. It operates on
the desiccant principle -- absorbing moisture from the air before it turns
into ice. The Mega Freeze® Filter is very effective in producing low
dewpoints to eliminate ice forming on evaporator fans, walls, floors, ceilings
and stored products.
Since the Mega Freeze® Filter removes moisture from the air (the latent
load), it means that the freezer is actually working more efficiently.
Defrost cycles can be shortened and the interval between defrost cycles can
be extended, saving energy. This means less wear and tear on equipment and
reduced energy bills. Dryer air prevents ice buildup on surfaces, equipment
and products. The area becomes a safer place to work (may prevent some
insurance claims). Floors won't have to be scraped continuously for ice
removal, saving you time and money. The quality of stored products improves.
The Mega Freeze® Filter System pays for itself in a short time, has no
operating costs (requires no electricity) and keeps on working 24/7 year
after year.
