The Competitive Advantage Technicold by Northern Lights • 1419 W. Newport Center Drive Deerfield Beach, FL 33442 • Tel: (954) 421-1717 [email protected] • www.technicold.com How do Technicold’s world class chillers and air handlers stack up against the competition? The following is a brief review of Technicold features and benefits versus a leading competitor. By any standard, Technicold customized marine solutions are the best on the market. CHILLERS TECHNICOLD • The stainless steel is dressed with a swirl pattern for aesthetics. It is also available in a mirror finish to accent the chrome inside an engine room. • Chiller becomes aesthetically unpleasing as the paint flakes and unit corrodes. • Chiller design is corrosion free with minimal maintenance. • Drain pan and compressor base usually corrode after a couple of years of service. • Heavy gauge metal mass in conjunction with compressor isolation eliminates vibration, requiring no additional vibration mounts for installation. • Light gauge metal and unit design transfers compressor vibration throughout the chiller housing. Requires additional vibration isolation pads for installation. • The plate chiller evaporator is totally encapsulated in high-density urethane foam, and sealed in stainless steel housing. This prevents condensation from forming on the evaporator chiller, as well as preventing external heat sources from affecting the performance of the evaporator. • The plate chiller evaporator is wrapped in foam sheeting. This causes sweating on the outside of the insulation. The insulation is not protected, and can be torn or gouged during installation or service. Due to the minimal insulation factor of the foam, the plate is exposed to extreme conditions in the engine room, adversely affecting the chiller performance and reducing its capacity. • Liquid line sight glass for diagnostics and charging. • No liquid line sight glass. • Liquid line filter-drier to ensure dry refrigerant circuit, and added protection to the expansion valve. • o liquid line filter-drier. N • The expansion valve is installed with flare connections for ease of service. It can be easily removed for cleaning and put back into service. This also provides access to the internal inlet screen. • The expansion valve is brazed into the piping. Servicing this piece requires cutting out the valve, and replacing it, making for a timely and expensive service point. • The expansion valve’s sensing bulb has maximum thermal transfer with the suction line pipe utilizing thermal mastic. It is completely sealed against the pipe using thick-walled, closed-cell insulation. • The expansion valve’s sensing bulb is attached to pipe with a minimal amount of thermal mastic, and is wrapped with a thin piece of foam tape. This tape often peels off when exposed to high ambient temperatures in the engine room. In addition, the mastic can liquefy when exposed to high temperatures, leaving the bulb exposed and causing the expansion valve to malfunction. • 316 Stainless steel (16G) used in construction of all components, including fasteners and hardware. • Light gauge galvanized and stainless steel construction; some plastic.

CHILLERS TECHNICOLD • Technicold chiller’s are designed to be condensation free; they require no condensate drip pan. • The chiller “sweats” excessively causing significant condensation. The unit requires a pan and drain to be routed to a sump or overboard. The pan design retains a large amount of condensate that can rust out all components submerged in water. • Each chiller is equipped with individual safety devices and digital control. If one system is taken off-line for service or maintenance, the other chiller(s) will continue to operate independently. • The chiller temperature control is...

• All air handlers are designed to a maximum height of 12”. This allows them to be installed in restrictively tight quarters. • High height profile that can make installation of ducting difficult. • Larger capacity units are equipped with a dual blower configuration. This allows us to maintain our low profile while adding a second duct. • Larger capacity units have single blowers, which makes running multiple ducts difficult and requires additional parts. • Technicold blowers are ultra-quiet, eliminating motor, air velocity and vane tip noise while providing maximum capacity airflow at the rated...
