Box Type Condensing Unit is an integrated compact refrigeration equipment combining core components such as compressors, condensers and throttling parts. With its box-type integrated design, it features stable operation, high energy efficiency, easy installation and maintenance, and can widely meet the cold source needs of industrial production, agricultural planting and commercial circulation. As an enterprise focusing on the refrigeration industry for nearly 30 years, Zhejiang Kaidi Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd (hereinafter referred to as "Kaidi Refrigeration") has further improved the adaptability and durability of its Box Type Condensing Unit through precision pipeline design and accurate component matching, while maintaining the core advantages of the product category.
1. Core Product Principles
The refrigeration cycle of Box Type Condensing Unit follows the classic vapor compression principle, with the core process divided into four steps:
- The compressor sucks in the low-pressure superheated refrigerant vapor discharged from the evaporator, and compresses it into high-temperature and high-pressure vapor, which is the power core of the refrigeration system;
- The high-temperature and high-pressure vapor enters the condenser, exchanges heat with the cooling medium (air or water) through the integrated heat exchange structure in the box, and condenses into saturated or subcooled liquid;
- The liquid refrigerant is throttled and depressurized by the throttle valve to become a low-pressure and low-temperature gas-liquid mixture;
- The mixture enters the evaporator to absorb heat from the cooled medium and vaporize, and then is sucked into the compressor to complete the cycle, continuously providing cold sources.
Kaidi Refrigeration's Box Type Condensing Unit adopts internationally renowned brand semi-hermetic screw compressors and high-efficiency shell-and-tube heat exchangers, matched with well-known brand electrical components such as Schneider. Through the intelligent control technology optimization of the Shanghai Hongqiao R&D Center, it realizes the adaptive adjustment of refrigerant flow and condensing fan speed, making the refrigeration cycle more efficient and stable.

5. Maintenance Guidelines
5.1 Daily Maintenance Points
- Regular cleaning: Air-cooled units need to clean the dust on condenser fins monthly; water-cooled units need to regularly check the quality of cooling water to avoid scaling affecting heat exchange efficiency;
- Oil management: The refrigerating oil should be replaced in stages 1 week, 15 days and half a year after installation and commissioning; the refrigerating oil should be supplemented in time after compressor maintenance;
- Pressure inspection: Observe the high and low pressure of the system weekly to ensure it meets the operating standards corresponding to the refrigerant (e.g., the high-pressure protection value of R22 refrigerant is usually 2.4MPa);
- Component inspection: Check the operation status of crankcase heaters, solenoid valves, high and low pressure controllers and other components monthly, and handle abnormalities in a timely manner.

6. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
1. What is the applicable cooling capacity range of Box Type Condensing Unit?
Box Type Condensing Unit's conventional models cover cooling capacity ranges from small and medium-sized to large-scale scenarios. Kaidi Refrigeration's products can provide different specifications from 35 HP to 50 HP. For special working conditions, customized design can meet the demand for larger cooling capacity, adapting to cold storage and production workshops ranging from tens of cubic meters to thousands of cubic meters.
2. What should I do if the condensing temperature is abnormally high during equipment operation?
First, check whether the flow rate of the cooling medium is sufficient (check the fan speed for air-cooled type and the water pump operation for water-cooled type); second, check whether air is mixed into the system or the refrigerant charge is excessive; finally, check whether the condenser is scaled or blocked, and clean it if necessary. Kaidi Refrigeration's intelligent units can automatically warn of abnormal temperature through the remote monitoring system, and the after-sales team can provide real-time troubleshooting guidance.
3. How to avoid liquid return during the operation of Box Type Condensing Unit?
Liquid return will cause liquid-carrying start of the compressor, leading to foaming of lubricating oil and even liquid hammer damage. Avoidance methods include: selecting a suitable expansion valve and setting the superheat correctly, regularly cleaning the frost on the evaporator, ensuring the normal operation of the fan; all Kaidi's products are equipped with gas-liquid separators, which can effectively separate the incompletely evaporated liquid refrigerant and reduce the risk of liquid return from the source.
4. How to select a Box Type Condensing Unit suitable for my own scenario?
It is necessary to consider factors such as cooling capacity demand, operating temperature range (high-temperature/low-temperature working conditions), installation space size, and refrigerant environmental protection requirements. Kaidi Refrigeration's pre-sales technical team can provide free scheme design, customize suitable models according to the user's production scale and scene layout, and ensure the balance between refrigeration effect and energy saving.
