VSC condensers utilize a sealed vertical shell and coil design, perfect for a small footprint location.
Standard Designs
VSC condensers are available in standard designs for water duty. The models feature high-efficiency tube surfaces and they are available in 9 catalog models from 3 to 20 horsepower (HP). They are optimized with a smaller footprint, which results in less space requirement and refrigerant charge. For glycol duty please contact the factory.
NOTE:
VSC**T condensers are for use with a cooling tower center water connection similar to previous VSC *T designs and are double stacked versions of smaller designs.
VSC**L condensers are for use without a cooling tower center water connection and in a single unit with shorter height dimension.
Tube Materials
VSC condensers are manufactured with enhanced 3/4″ diameter copper tubing.
Customization
Custom vessels are available with special materials of construction as required by you or your client, please consult the factory for options.
Features
Shells
ASME specification steel pipe. Shells are sand blasted and cleaned prior to assembly.
Tubes
Copper high performance enhanced designed tubing.
Connections
All water side connections are FNPT. All refrigerant side connections are IDS. Safety connections are FNPT. Custom nozzle orientations and locations are available.
Finish
Exterior surfaces are cleaned and painted with a high quality black paint and primer.
Operating Charge
Approximately 10% of the pumpdown capacity is required in the unit for proper operatio
Codes
The refrigerant side is constructed to the latest edition of the ASME Section VIII Div. 1 code standards and is stamped accordingly, on all units. Both sides are tested at 1.3 times the design pressure. Units are helium leak tested to find leaks as small as 1 x 10⁻⁵ mbar.l/s. For other code registrations please contact the factory.
Maximum Allowable Working Pressures:
400 psi. Shell Side (Refrigerant) @ 150°F
150 psi. Tube Side (Water/Fluid) @ 150°F
Nominal Water Pressure Drop
Nominal pressure drops are given at nominal water flow rates. To determine nominal flow rates in gallons per minute (gpm), multiply the nominal HP by 3.0. Water pressure drops provided do not include any external fittings or valves.
Water Flow
Water velocities of eight feet per second (ft/s) or higher risk premature impingement corrosion and tube failure. Operation below minimum flow rates may result in excessive fouling and poor heat transfer. All values in this catalog section are limited to flow velocities below eight feet per second.
Approved Refrigerants
R22, R134a, R290, R404A, R407C, R448A, R449A, R507A, R513A.
Non-Approved Refrigerants Unless Cleared by the Factory
Ammonia/R717, due to copper tubing. R410A-consult factory. Custom units are available for these refrigerants.
Other Refrigerants
All other refrigerants must be approved by Standard Refrigeration before use.
Alternative Options
For higher pressure refrigerants use HSE-MP units. For greater pumpdown capacity use SST units. For salt water applications use MSE or MST units.
Custom, and larger models are available, please contact your local sales representative
*Ratings are based on entering water 85°F, leaving water 95°F, and saturated condensing temperature of 105°F with 5°F of subcooling
Nominal ratings: Include an additive fouling factor of 0.00025 fas calculated per AHRI Standard 450-2007.
