Heat exchangers with high fin-pitch and integrated defrosting systems
Heat exchangers with high fin-pitch are designed for applications where frost, ice, or contaminants could compromise efficiency or block airflow.
Thanks to a fin pitch of up to 12 mm — adjustable along the rows if needed — these finned-pack heat exchangers ensure stable operation, longer service life, and more effective defrosting cycles.
Integrated defrosting systems can operate with hot glycol water, hot gas, or electric heaters, providing maximum flexibility for all types of installations.
