Increased capacity for Kuba SG coolers

January 2005

Major revisions to the SG range of coolers from Küba have resulted in significant increases in capacity.

The revised versions of these commercial cubic coolers, now designated SG.C, use inner finned tubes within the parallel tube coil block, which combined with highly efficient refrigerant distribution results in capacity increases of 30% or more compared to the previous models. With percentage price increases kept in the low single figures, this results in a greatly increased price-performance ratio.

Fans are fitted with an air guiding grid, which provide long air throws, even air distribution and shorter pull down times. The KUBA-CAL refrigerant distributor, which through it's efficient distribution helps achieve the full benefits of the new rifled tubes, also reduces frost build up across the coil block, helping to maintain performance between defrosts. In addition, the even refrigerant distribution allows low TDs (down to Dt1=4K) to be used to reduce dehumidification of the stored product.

Other SG.C features include tube mounted defrost heaters, drip tray heaters mounted on an intermediate plate, aluminium powder coated casings, and a range of options that includes hot gas defrost, sock adaptors, electric space heaters, fan collar heaters, AIRDRIVE air deflectors, anti-corrosion protection and glycol versions.
