Embraco has launched three lines of condensing units for the Australian and New Zealand markets in partnership with Beijer Ref Australia.
The products were showcased at ARBS 2022, where contractors, refrigeration technicians and original equipment manufacturers (OEM) were able to inspect the Sunrise, Bioma and Sliding units.
Sunrise: a line-up created for the Australian weather
Sunrise is a new line of Embraco condensing units for low and medium-temperature applications in food retail and food services, such as coldrooms, reach-ins, under counters and freezers.
Embraco says Sunrise was developed specifically for the Australian and New Zealand markets, responding to high ambient temperatures and the demand for ready-to-install condensing units, with optimised assembly and maintenance.
“That is why the portfolio can withstand tropical conditions,” says the company. “Several components are oversized to operate in this kind of climate, applying a larger condenser and liquid receiver alongside robust compressors, such as the Embraco NEU, NT, and NTU ranges, which deliver superior stability with high energy efficiency.”
The cooling capacity covers from 0.5–1.5HP for R404A refrigerant, and the line is factory fitted with HP/LP pressure switch, sight glass, and filter dryer to simplify installation.
Bioma: the silent unit
Bioma is a condensing unit line developed with focus on low noise, design and accessibility to components. According to Embraco, it is a compact solution for coldrooms and outdoor applications in urban areas that require extra low noise levels and restricted space.
“It delivers 50 per cent of noise reduction versus the next best alternatives,” says the company. “The line-up goes up to 10kW or 5HP of cooling capacity in MBP applications at -10°C to 32°C. Its triple doors give direct access to all components. It is fully equipped, with a liquid line, pressure switch, fan speed controller and dressed E-Box, and it can be wall mounted or stacked up to two units for space saving.”
Sliding: innovative design for easy access to components
The Sliding was developed for outdoor applications where ultra-low noise levels are not looked for, with all Bioma’s attributes except for the noise level treatment.
Embraco says its most remarkable attribute is an innovative sliding compartment that makes its usage easier for installation and service maintenance. The line-up goes up to 5kW in MBP applications at -10°C to 32°C. It is also fully equipped.
“We are pleased to bring to Australia and New Zealand the best cooling solutions in the market in partnership with Beijer Ref,” says Esequias Pereira, Asia Pacific Sales Director for Commercial Applications at Nidec Global Appliance. “The lines we are introducing are suitable for a complete range of applications, with energy efficiency, reliability, robustness as well as easy installation and maintenance.”
