Bochum, Germany, 6 February 2018: Kelvion, the Bochum, Germany-based company said through a Press communiqué that the creativity potential offered by its three brands, Goedhart, Küba and Searle could be seen in its new KDC Dual Discharge Air Cooler. A product of joint development work, three teams designed the new air cooler, for commercial refrigeration, the company said. Beginning immediately, the Kelvion KDC will replace the Goedhart FC38D, Küba DP and Searle DSR cooler ranges, the company further said.

Explaining its features, the company said the air cooler is designed for uses in commercial HVACR, cold rooms and freezer rooms. Its EC fans ensure energy efficiency, and its dual air discharge enables uniform distribution of temperature – since the air flow is guided along the ceiling and deep into the room. Two fixed fan speeds enable either high air capacity or quiet operation with low draft, the company claimed.

According to the company, the KDC is designed in its standard version for synthetic refrigerants or brine. Depending on model size, the maximum cooling duty is from 1.4 to 23 kW with HFC (SC2*), or from 2.8 to 37.7 kW with cooling by brine**. The optional 45/90-bar version enables the use of CO₂ and provides maximum cooling duty ranging from 1.7 to 23 kW***, depending on model size, the company said. Further features of the KDC include its low weight, a low silhouette design and its drip tray, hinged on both sides to give access to the bottom for cleaning and maintenance. The company further explained that options include a CAL^® distributor for multiple injection of refrigerant, as well as an easily accessible condensate-water pump for medium-temperature cooling.
