Key Features of the KCFP Air-Cooled Condensing Unit

Original Bitzer Refrigeration Compressor

The KCFP series uses original Bitzer reciprocating compressors to provide stable compression performance for commercial and industrial refrigeration systems.

The compressor configuration covers different refrigeration capacities, allowing users to select a suitable condensing unit according to cooling load, evaporating temperature and application requirements.

High-Efficiency Air-Cooled Condenser

The air-cooled configuration uses internally threaded copper tubes combined with corrugated aluminum fins. This heat exchanger structure increases the effective heat transfer area and improves heat transfer performance.

The external rotor condensing fan provides efficient airflow for condenser heat rejection while maintaining a compact unit configuration.

High-Efficiency Water-Cooled Condenser

For applications with suitable cooling-water systems, the KCFP can be configured with a shell-and-tube water-cooled condenser.

Enhanced heat-transfer tubes increase heat exchange efficiency and provide a practical solution for industrial refrigeration systems requiring water-cooled heat rejection.

Integrated Refrigeration Components

The condensing unit integrates key refrigeration components into a factory-assembled system. This helps simplify system installation and provides a more organized component layout.

Easy Maintenance Open-Type Design

The open-frame configuration provides direct access to major refrigeration components. Technicians can inspect the compressor, condenser, valves and protection components more easily during installation and maintenance.

Flexible Refrigeration Configuration

Different compressor models, condenser capacities and refrigeration accessories are available to match different cooling loads and operating conditions.

This makes the KCFP series suitable for customized commercial refrigeration and industrial refrigeration projects.

KCFP Refrigeration Condensing Unit Technical Specifications

The KCFP Series includes two main configuration ranges: the MR1/BZ medium temperature condensing unit series and the LR1/BZ low temperature condensing unit series.

Medium & Low Temperature Condensing Unit Operating Range

The KCFP refrigeration condensing unit covers different evaporating temperature conditions through the MR1/BZ and LR1/BZ series.

Medium Temperature Refrigeration Applications

The MR1/BZ series provides performance data at evaporating temperatures of -5°C, -7°C, -10°C and -15°C.

It is suitable for refrigerated warehouses, chilled storage, food processing and other medium temperature refrigeration systems.

Low Temperature Refrigeration Applications

The LR1/BZ series provides performance data at evaporating temperatures of -20°C, -25°C and -30°C.

It is suitable for freezer rooms, frozen food storage, meat and seafood freezing and other low temperature refrigeration applications.

The cooling capacity of the condensing unit changes with evaporating temperature, so the final model should be selected according to the actual refrigeration load and operating conditions.

Compressor, Condenser & Refrigeration Component Configuration

Refrigeration Compressor

The KCFP series uses Bitzer reciprocating compressors with different compressor models matched to the required refrigeration capacity.

The compressor selection should consider cooling capacity, evaporating temperature, condensing temperature, refrigerant and operating conditions.

Air-Cooled Condenser

The air-cooled condenser uses internally threaded copper tubes and corrugated aluminum fins to provide efficient heat transfer.

This configuration is suitable for refrigeration projects where cooling water is unavailable or where an air-cooled heat rejection system is preferred.

Liquid Receiver & Refrigeration Accessories

The system can include a liquid receiver, filter drier, sight glass, solenoid valve, expansion valve and other essential refrigeration accessories.

These components are selected according to the refrigeration circuit and system requirements.

Controls & Protection Components

The condensing unit can be equipped with high-pressure and low-pressure controls, oil pressure protection and other safety components to help protect the refrigeration system during operation.

KCFP Open Type Condensing Unit Models & Selection Guide

Selecting the correct KCFP model requires consideration of the complete refrigeration system rather than compressor capacity alone.

The main selection factors include:

1. Define the refrigeration application
   Determine whether the system is used for cold storage, refrigerated warehouse, freezer room, food processing or industrial refrigeration.

2. Determine the required evaporating temperature
   Select the appropriate medium or low temperature series according to the required operating conditions.

3. Calculate the cooling capacity
   Determine the required refrigeration capacity based on room size, product load, ambient conditions, insulation and pull-down requirements.

4. Select the compressor configuration
   Match the Bitzer compressor model with the required refrigeration capacity and operating temperature.

5. Select the condenser type
   Choose an air-cooled or water-cooled condenser according to installation conditions and heat rejection requirements.

6. Confirm installation requirements
   Check unit dimensions, connection sizes, weight, ventilation and service clearance before installation.

Open Type Condensing Unit Dimensions & Installation Requirements

The KCFP open type condensing unit is designed for accessible installation and maintenance.

Before installation, users should confirm:

• Overall unit dimensions

• Installation dimensions

• Compressor and condenser clearance

• Refrigerant pipe connection sizes

• Liquid supply connection

• Electrical power supply

• Ventilation requirements

• Service and maintenance access

• Condenser heat rejection conditions

The actual installation dimensions should be confirmed against the selected model before equipment placement and refrigeration pipe installation.

Open Type Condensing Unit Applications for Cold Storage & Industrial Refrigeration

Cold Storage & Refrigerated Warehouses

Open Type vs Box Type Condensing Unit: Which Is Right for Your Project?

An open type condensing unit provides easier access to the compressor, condenser and refrigeration accessories, making it suitable for projects where serviceability and flexible component configuration are important.

A box type condensing unit normally provides a more enclosed and compact package.

The right choice depends on the installation environment, maintenance requirements, available space and system configuration.

For industrial refrigeration projects that require easy component access and flexible configuration, an open type condensing unit can provide practical advantages.

How to Select the Right Condensing Unit for Your Refrigeration System

When selecting a refrigeration condensing unit, consider the following parameters:

• Required cooling capacity

• Evaporating temperature

• Condensing temperature

• Refrigerant

• Compressor type

• Cooling method

• Ambient temperature

• Cold room temperature

• Refrigeration load

• Power supply

• Installation space

For accurate model selection, provide the required cold room temperature, evaporating temperature, cooling capacity, refrigerant and installation conditions.
