The new EWAP-CO2 evaporator, which is mainly targeted at food retailers with cold rooms, but also wholesalers and installation and service companies, is quick to install and easy to maintain thanks to its innovative design. Cleaning the fan components is made easy as each part opens separately. Surface mounted fans make the units fast to service and change when required.
Viessmann has launched a new evaporator which uses CO2 as refrigerant, making it compliant with the latest F gas regulations, as well as energy efficient and environmentally friendly, fast to assemble and easy to maintain.

On April 14 the Council of the European Union approved a number of revisions to the F-gas regulations, drawn up as part of the EU’s ongoing efforts to tackle climate change. The new legislation, which will come into force from 1 January 2015, introduces product, service and maintenance bans and a HFC phase-down timetable, which means a high percentage of refrigeration equipment currently in use will need to be replaced with greener solutions, such as using CO2 as refrigerant.
The new Viessmann EWAP-CO2 evaporator range has a cooling capacity from 1600 to 7200 w and can be specified to include up to four fans. The units are fast to install thanks to the prefabricated anchoring points.
Jim Whelan, director of international business at Viessmann, said: “By using CO2 as the natural refrigerant, it means we are able to respond to the F gas regulation. EWAP, together with TECTO cold rooms are the future solution for retailers.”
