The independent refrigeration and air conditioning specialist Bitzer has expanded its range of condensing units to include a new series. The seven air cooled Ecolite models have been designed for low and medium temperature applications and are available in an attractive housing.
The three Ecolite LHL3E condensing units with one fan and the four LHL5E models with two fans open up a wide range of applications, from 1.5 kW to 5 kW in the low temperature refrigeration range and from 3.5 kW to 16 kW in the medium temperature range. All seven models in the new series have been designed as standard for a wide range of both low and medium temperature applications – for example, in cold stores, display counters and small shops. Their compact, low sound design and the use of efficient components in combination with the capacity control of the semi-hermetic compressors make them exceptionally adaptable.
Flexible and compact
Thanks to the Varistep mechanical capacity control, all Ecolite condensing units offer stepless capacity adjustment in a range from 50 to 100 per cent. The LHL5E models enable flexible capacity control between 10 and 100 per cent as an optional feature. Ecolite has also been specially developed for low sound operation and features a robust and corrosion-resistant housing for outdoor use. Thanks to their compact construction, the condensing units can also be easily integrated even when space is limited. Another advantage of the series is the low refrigerant charge required thanks to efficient mini-channel condensers with a high heat transfer rate. The company has also integrated proprietary components optimised for the system as well as its Ecolite reciprocating compressors into the Ecolite series.
Future-proof and sustainable
Ecolite condensing units are easy to use, have control software developed by Bitzer and work very reliably thanks to the well-known development and production work at Bitzer. Users benefit from the fact that all components are precisely matched to one another. The entire series is Ecodesign-compliant and has been designed for use with common refrigerants, including those with a low global warming potential such as HFO blends. The extensive equipment and plug-and-play concept make installing and commissioning the condensing units very quick and easy.
Intuitive and convenient
All the components of the Ecolite condensing units are easily accessible, whilst its controller offers intuitive operation and enables use of the Bitzer Electronics Service Tool (BEST). BEST assures a user-friendly overview of parameters and the operating status and also offers support via a data logging function and the convenient setting of parameters. And with their optional accessories, the Ecolite condensing units show their practical side too: for example, a second capacity control for the LHL5E models, an oil separator with check valve and a temperature sensor for operation based on room temperature are available.
