ECODRY LDK
With more than 25 years of experience in adiabatic cooling, Frigel will introduce the new generation of large capacity adiabatic coolers: Frigel LDK.
Using Frigel's internationally recognized patent, the “adiabatic chamber”, the LDK is capable of reducing the water consumption by 95% with respect to cooling towers together with an unbeatable durability.
The unit is available in four different versions, based on the temperatures required by the process and customer location. Starting from dry -spray -adiabatic up to Hybrid cooler, the LDK range can cover a complete and broad range of applications, with the highest performance and highest reliability in the market. The unit also offers a complete fan by fan redundancy and a broad modularity.
ECODRY 4DK
Adiabatic Closed Loop Fluid Coolers with enclosed chambers and patented booster cooling technologies
Frigel expands its Adiabatic product family line, introducing the Ecodry 4DK range, designed to allow the flexible configuration of modular adiabatic solutions for small to medium/large loads. 4DK takes advantage of some of the technological advances already introduced in the LDK range (new efficient PADs, new generation of EC fans, modular design, wide and deep configuration).
4DK is characterized by a high efficiency humidification system (COOLPAD™), based on Frigel “adiabatic chamber” patent and by a new generation of EC fans which, combined with a more effective dry cooler, obtain a new level of compactness in a powerful new adiabatic cooler product line. The new Ecodry 4DK is designed to integrate easily into existing Ecodry 3DK systems, of which Frigel has an existing installation base of thousands of units, in addition to responding to the new needs of industries; energy efficiency, sustainability and saving of raw resources such as water.
NETGEL 3PR 4.0
Industry 4.0 Intelligent Central System Control Platform
The 3PR 4.0 product platform is a dedicated Frigel solution that provides complete control of Frigel central cooling systems. 3PR 4.0 control meets the needs of processors to supervise and manage the whole cooling system from a single control point. All the connected central system components are controlled via a unique control panel that has been designed specifically for Frigel systems. 3PR 4.0 is available in two versions, Lite and Premium, depending on the size of the system and the equipment to control.
Full native connectivity to MiND™ and its new HMI (Human Machine Interface) offer a flawless user experience and compatibility with Industry 4.0 architectures, providing easy visualization and process diagrams of the connected equipment, dashboards for main parameters, performance graphs and alarm management and history.
NETGEL MiND™
Industry 4.0 central system and machine side Web Interface and Monitoring Platform
Frigel releases the MiND™ 2.0 platform, the evolution of its Industry 4.0 concept. MiND™ 2.0 is an innovative digital solution to meet the ever-increasing needs of modern companies to reach Industry 4.0 and IIOT (Industrial Internet of Things) standards. MiND™ 2.0 is now able to provide customers a perfect supervision and maintenance tool for all Frigel equipment and accessories, both central and machine-side, allowing for monitoring and management of all working parameters and events and registering performance and energy consumption of every single cooling system component through a multifunctional user interface, both locally and remotely, through a user-friendly webpage.
HEAVYGEL 3FA Series
Industrial air-cooled high efficiency Modular Screw Compressor Chillers
Frigel completes its platform of Industrial Modular Chillers (3F series) with a new integral air cooled package chiller line, the 3FA range, featuring: high efficiency screw technology with VFD option, microchannel high performance condenser, EC fans for increased part load efficiency and low ambient temperature control, low GWP refrigerant option (R-513a), wide process and ambient temperature operating ranges, modular design with factory pre-engineered piping configuration and recirculation water package option.
The 3FA (air cooled integral package) offers the advantage of a quick and ready-to-deploy centralized chiller system solution, with minimal indoor equipment footprint, ideal in moderate climates, but also in cold climates when the use of water glycol mixtures is allowed. The Ecodry Dry range and the Aquagel pump and tank packages complete a fully integrated system solution with maximum cooling performance efficiency and minimal environmental impact. The 3FA range features 7 models and 3 versions with capacities ranging from 170 kW to 600 kW for centralized expandable systems with capacities up to 3.500 kW.
MODULAR CHILLER 3FX
Water-cooled water chillers. 3FX is a super-compact, modular, industrial grade high efficiency water-cooled chiller family
These units have been specially designed to build complete systems with multiple chillers, either connecting them in series or in parallel. Optionally, both configurations may be operated as Heat Pumps, able to recover 100% of the heat extracted from processes, producing hot water up to 55°C. Each unit is equipped with a single refrigeration circuit, rotary compressor(s), stainless steel brazed plate evaporator and condenser, electronic thermostatic control valve and onboard digital controller.
These unique chillers combine high performance cooling capacity with unbeatable efficiency in self-contained packages with extremely small footprints and are designed to be used with closed-loop Ecodry Adiabatic Cooling Systems for dissipation of the condenser heat.
The product line covers a wide range of sizes for all needs:
• 5 models with twin tandem scroll compressors from 100 to 300 kW of cooling capacity per unit;

MultiStage
Multistage is Frigel innovative cascade refrigeration chillers system, specifically developed for beverage processes characterized by high delta temperatures during the cooling phase and low filling temperatures.
Multistage system is composed of multiple chiller units, called modules, connected in series, in sequence, one after the other. Having such a connection guarantees that MultiStage modules will be working progressively at higher temperatures with respect to a traditional parallel connected system. This translates in an energy consumption reduction, with respect to a standard centralized system, that can go up to 30%.
Such performance, combined with a consistent reliability and total modularity, makes Frigel Multistage an authentic breakthrough in the Beverage industry.
