HELPMAN THOR Industrial air coolers
General information & application
The Helpman THOR series is a wide and flexible range of
heavy-duty industrial air coolers for both cooling and freezing
applications in medium to large cold rooms. Suitable for a
wide range of applications, with a special focus on meat
storage, agricultural produce and packed products.
All TYR models have been highly standardised in construction
and dimensions, while maintaining flexibility in fin spacings,
coil construction and circuiting design.
Evaporating temp. +5 to -40°C
Refrigerants Ammonia (R-717), all HFO/HFC, brine, CO2
Capacities (SC2) 5 up to 116 kW*
Air volume 4,000 up to 68,100 m3/hText content

• Shut up system (S + SH) for TYR-Z
only. The system comprises a shut-up sock and an inlet hood to enhance defrost efficiency.
• Secondary refrigerant
All models available for water/glycol application.
Standard stainless steel welding connections, other connections (thread/flange) on request.
• Refrigerant distribution optimised to refrigerant applied.
• Refrigerant connections on right hand side (fan side view).
• Fitted with schräder valve on the suction connection for testing purposes.
• Sufficient room for fitting the expansion valve inside.
• Suitable for dry expansion or pumped system.
• Stickers indicate fan direction and refrigerant in/out.
• Delivery in mounting position. Coolers are mounted on wooden beams. Installation can take place with use of a forklift.
