Anti-corrosion hydrophilic blue fins
After stamping, the strength and windward contact surface of hydrophilic film aluminum fins increase. The surface can quickly absorb moisture, allowing condensed water to be evenly distributed on the surface of the aluminum foil without condensing into water droplets, which can avoid the accumulation of water droplets and affect heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, it can also reduce ventilation resistance and noise caused by the formation of water bridges.
Key Advantages:
◆ Tunnel freezer evaporator specialist
◆ Customizable refrigerant configurations
◆ Anti-corrosion hydrophilic fins
◆ Vibration-reducing construction
◆ Food-grade material options
◆ IQF performance optimized
With its focus on both performance and adaptability, the SD Series delivers consistent, high-quality freezing results while offering operators the flexibility to configure systems according to their specific product requirements and operational budgets.
Cooling Efficiency & Heat Exchange Performance
Achieving rapid and uniform freezing is critical for maintaining the premium quality of your inventory. This unit leverages advanced Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to optimize the thermal transfer process, ensuring every kilowatt of energy is utilized effectively to protect your product.
Corrugated Blue Fin Technology: The specialized hydrophilic coating on the corrugated fins actively manages condensation, preventing rapid frost buildup and maintaining a high coefficient of heat transfer over extended operational periods.
Hydraulic Tube Expansion: Through precise hydraulic expansion, the internal tubes achieve an absolute, gap-free bond with the fins, eliminating thermal resistance and facilitating instantaneous cold transfer from the refrigerant to the air stream.
IQF Optimization: Perfectly calibrated for Individual Quick Freezing (IQF) applications, the intense, focused airflow instantly crust-freezes the product surface, locking in moisture and preventing items from clumping together on the belt.
Cellular Preservation: By accelerating the freezing curve, the system prevents the formation of large, damaging ice crystals within the cellular structure, preserving the exact weight, texture, and color of your high-value goods.
Food-Grade Hygiene & Anti-Corrosion Materials
In the rigorous environment of food processing, sanitation is absolutely non-negotiable. This evaporator is constructed as a fortress against contamination, utilizing materials and manufacturing techniques that exceed the most stringent global hygiene standards.
Premium Stainless Steel Construction: Available in both AISI-304 and medical-grade AISI-316 stainless steel, the entire framework and internal coil system offer unparalleled resistance to harsh cleaning chemicals, saline environments, and acidic food byproducts.
Seamless Welded Design: The fully welded construction eliminates hidden crevices, overlapping joints, and exposed threads where microscopic pathogens and organic debris typically accumulate and breed.
Ultra-Smooth Surface Finish: Every exposed surface is polished to a high degree of smoothness, allowing water and heavy-duty sanitizing agents to sheet off effortlessly, drastically reducing the time required for manual scrubbing.
CIP System Compatibility: The internal architecture is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with automated Clean-In-Place (CIP) systems, ensuring thorough, repeatable sanitation cycles without requiring costly manual disassembly.
Efficient Defrosting & Continuous Operation
Downtime for defrosting is a major bottleneck in high-volume processing facilities. Our intelligent design minimizes ice accumulation and accelerates the clearing process, allowing your facility to maintain continuous, highly profitable production runs.
Variable Fin Pitch Design: By strategically widening the fin spacing at the air inlet, the coil accommodates initial frost formation without restricting airflow, significantly extending the time between required defrost cycles.
Versatile Defrost Options: Tailor the system to your facility's specific infrastructure with multiple defrosting methods, including rapid hot gas, efficient electric heating, high-volume water, or innovative Air Defrosting (ADF) pulses.
Sequential Defrost Capabilities: For multi-unit installations, the system supports synchronized, sequential defrosting, ensuring that the tunnel freezer maintains optimal processing temperatures even while individual sections are being actively cleared of ice.
Extended 24/7 Production: The powerful combination of delayed frost accumulation and rapid ice shedding empowers your production line to operate continuously for weeks on end, virtually eliminating mid-shift shutdowns and lost revenue.

FAQ
How does the variable fin pitch design improve the operational cycle of the tunnel freezer?
By utilizing a wider fin spacing at the air inlet and gradually narrowing it towards the outlet, the coil can accommodate a significant amount of initial frost without choking the airflow. This aerodynamic design drastically delays the drop in static pressure, allowing the system to run efficiently for much longer periods before a defrost cycle is mandated, thereby increasing your total production uptime.
What makes the blue hydrophilic fins superior to standard aluminum fins in this application?
The specialized blue hydrophilic coating alters the surface tension of the fin. Instead of allowing moisture to form insulating water droplets that quickly freeze into solid ice blocks, the coating causes water to sheet and spread thinly. This prevents rapid ice bridging between the fins, maintains a higher heat transfer coefficient, and offers superior resistance against corrosive cleaning agents used in food processing.
Can this evaporator be retrofitted into an existing older tunnel freezing system?
Absolutely. Because we operate as a primary manufacturer, we can custom-engineer the physical dimensions, mounting brackets, and header locations to match your exact existing footprint. Whether you need a ceiling-mounted configuration or a floor-standing unit, we ensure a seamless integration with your current piping and conveyor infrastructure without requiring major facility modifications.
What specific safety measures are incorporated for systems utilizing Ammonia (NH3)?
Ammonia systems require zero tolerance for leaks due to safety and environmental concerns. We utilize thick-walled stainless steel tubes and employ automated TIG orbital welding for all critical joints to eliminate human error. Furthermore, the entire coil undergoes rigorous pneumatic and hydrostatic testing at pressures far exceeding standard operational loads to guarantee absolute hermetic integrity before shipping.
How does the integration of EC fans impact the overall OPEX of the freezing facility?
Electronically Commutated (EC) fans operate with significantly higher motor efficiency compared to traditional AC motors, often reducing electrical consumption by up to 30%. Additionally, their inherent ability to seamlessly modulate speed allows the system to match the exact cooling load required at any given moment, preventing wasted energy during lighter production runs and dramatically lowering your ongoing operational expenses.
