Danfoss C118L-EZ, C118L-EZ-F Data sheet

Data Sheet

Micro Plate Heat Exchanger
Type C118L-EZ and C118L-EZ-F

For more ecient Chillers

21% lower hold-up volume enables
signicant reduction in refrigerant charge.

The C118L-EZ and the C118L-EZ-F are
evaporators optimized for high density
refrigerants like the R410A and its replacement
R454B and R32 for use in high-eciency chillers
with capacities of 70-250 kW.

The Z-pattern channel plate technology pushes
the performance of heat exchangers to the
limits by fully mixing the liquid and gas
refrigerant through a “zigzag” ow, which
increases the heat transfer coecient. At the
same time, inheriting from the dimple features,
C118L-EZ reduces the water side pressure drop
and the amount of material used. In the
reversible mode of the chiller as a condenser,
C118L-EZ also has outstanding performance.

To meet demands for higher seasonal

eciency, the C118L-EZ is designed to work
eciently and increase comfort in modern

buildings without increasing the carbon
footprint. Helping chillers perform more
eciently, it reduces both energy costs and
environmental impact. The low hold-up volume
reduces the system refrigerant charge and
oers valuable savings.

Features:

• Improved heat transfer - equals higher
eciency chillers

• Reduced water side pressure drop – equals
higher eciency chillers

• Minimal hold-up volume - equals less
refrigerant charge

• Smaller footprint - enables more compact
chillers

• High heat transfer and minimal refrigerant
charge - equals a reduced CO₂ footprint

Portfolio overview

C118L-EZ: Evaporator optimized for R410A, R452B and R454B
C118-EZ: Evaporator for medium density refrigerants PS: 30bar
C118L-EZ -F: Evaporator optimized for R32

Applications

The C118L-EZ and C118L-EZ-F are single circuit evaporators specically designed for high ecient chiller systems
dedicated to comfort applications, cooling-industrial process, data centers. The evaporators are design to operate
also in reversable systems in condenser mode, in co or counter current ow conguration.

The models are characterized by dierent distributor system the make the evaporator optimized for the high­density refrigerants. Even if equipped with distributor device, the C118L-EZ and C118L-EZ-F can run properly in
condenser mode.
