Delfield Evaporator Coils

Delfield evaporator coils are essential components in commercial refrigeration systems used in catering equipment like display cases, cold rooms, and ice machines. These coils facilitate heat transfer, ensuring products are kept at optimal temperatures. Evaporator coils consist of a series of tubes through which refrigerant flows. As the refrigerant evaporates, it absorbs heat from the surrounding environment, cooling the air or products inside the equipment. The cooled refrigerant then circulates back to the compressor to start the cycle again. Over time, evaporator coils can become dirty, clogged, or damaged, reducing their efficiency. Signs of coil issues include uneven cooling, increased energy consumption, and frost build-up. Regular maintenance and timely replacement are crucial for optimal performance and to prevent equipment breakdowns.

FAQs

Can I clean a Delfield evaporator coil myself?

While cleaning is possible, it's often recommended to consult a professional for deeper cleaning or coil replacement.

How often should evaporator coils be replaced?

The replacement frequency depends on usage, maintenance, and environmental factors. Regular inspections can help determine when replacement is necessary.   

What causes evaporator coils to freeze up?

Insufficient refrigerant, blocked airflow, or a faulty thermostat can lead to evaporator coil freezing.

How do I know if my evaporator coil is damaged?

Signs of damage include leaks, bent fins, or corrosion. A professional technician can assess the coil's condition.
