Condenser and Gas Cooler Portfolio
VERSATILITY MEETS MARKET NEED FOR QUIETER, GREENER PRODUCTS
Commitment to continuous research and development is behind Kelvion’s enhanced condenser, dry cooler and gas cooler portfolio. This extensive range, including thousands of models and variety of fan sizes, is matched by its flexibility to suit many applications and in the most challenging environments. Kelvion condensers are based upon modular designs. We offer various fan sizes, multiple speeds and power supplies, coupled with an extensive range of tube and fin profiles, to enable products to be tailored accurately to meet the application demands. The wide range of fan choices ensures that the optimal balance between air volume and capacity, operational noise levels and power consumption to meet market price levels are achieved. The tube and fins can be supplied in various materials, depending on the internal or external corrosion properties. With the V-Profile, Kelvion has taken versatility a step further. It has been developed to meet a growing market need for a lower carbon footprint, quieter operation and improved capacity density. The V-Profile is available as a dry cooler, condenser or gas cooler, all with copper or stainless steel tubes and with optional smart controls.
Coils can be configured in 5, 8, 10 and 12 mm in a variety of length, width and height variants. The many combinations of fin type, coil rows and module lengths make it possible to perfectly balance capacity, fluid pressure loss, sound level, power consumption, internal volume and refrigerant charge. With its high thermal capacity, robust framework and low noise levels, plus innovative energy-efficient fan sets, the V-Profile is suited to applications ranging from warehouses and cold rooms to food preparation and storage. Additionally, V-profile units can be fitted with an adiabatic pad or spray cooling system to reduce the air inlet temperature with evaporate water. Both pad and spray technologies help to make the units more efficient and provide a better shut off safety at high temperatures.

ADIABATIC SYSTEM Kelvion can look back to a 30-year experience with adiabatic systems. This technology can offer major benefits to your system and is perfectly adapted to our versatile V-Bank range. During our extensive testing in our own R&D facilities, we verified several spray systems to get the best possible results with regard to water distribution, water mass flow and droplet formation. We also tested different pad systems from numerous suppliers in our labs to judge independently the claims made when used with our design. The result is a tailored adiabatic pad system with a new water distribution system for outstanding performance, as well as an update to our existing spray system to offer improved performance and water efficiency. Both options will offer you a uniform, reliable cooling effect with a tested, verified air pressure drop.
ADIABATIC SPRAY SYSTEM
ADIABATIC PAD SYSTEM
⊲T he new spray nozzles use less water and produce smaller droplets. The result is 39% less water consumption with the same temperature cooling effect. ⊲T he System is designed to evaporate 95% of the water in the air and not on the coil. This reduces coil fouling and potential corrosion. ⊲N ew pump box design improves maintenance ⊲W ith options for booster pumps and actuated flow valves, the system minimizes water consumption, varying with your needs.
⊲ Our newly-developed water distribution system on top of the pad combines standard systems, to make better use of the respective advantages. ⊲ The system facilitates even air cooling with reduced water loss. ⊲ Easy removal and installation of pads for periodic inspection and cleaning when required ⊲ Optional meshes in front of the pad protect against dirt and debris depending on need. Easy to clean and extends the pad’s service life. ⊲ Bespoke solutions for every need: pre-mounted or mounted on site.
The evaporating energy of water is used to cool the incoming air. This cooling effect can be used individually for your system.

KELVION CONTROLS Kelvion Controls offers the possibility of increasing the service life of the product by ensuring it is suitably maintained before irreparable damage may occur. Scheduled maintenance is not always sufficient for the heat exchanger. Some locations require more visits than others, often governed by seasonal changes. Kelvion Controls with its full BACnet and Modbus building management system integration ensures continuous full visibility of cooler status. Advanced control and monitoring solutions enable on demand maintenance by optimizing not only heat exchanger performance but also service budgets.
