Custom built to perfectly suit your needs

EVAPCO's Critical Process Air (CPA) systems meet the demanding requirements of temperature, pressurization and air purity control with humidity and condensation control required in industrial refrigeration.

Designed specifically for the industrial refrigeration market, the EVAPCO CPA offers complete flexibility in design with a comprehensive choice of quality components integrated together to create a state of the art, custom air handling unit backed by the industry's most experienced critical process product design and system application engineers.

  • A wide array of accessories or modifications are available to suit any scenario or environment
  • Smooth interior free of potential mold or bacteria growth spots
  • Ranging in airflow from 1,000 CFM to 112,000 CFM
  • AHRI Certified Performance in Accordance with AHRI Standard 420

The CPA air handling unit is designed to condition recirculated air and outside air during production mode. Recirculated and outside air will be filtered with pre-filters, then cooled and/or heated as required to maintain the Room Return air temperature and humidity, before passing through the final HEPA 95 or 99 filter before being supplied to the room. 

CPA units are available with the optional economizer mode as a means of providing “free” cooling while the unit is in production mode. When conditions are favorable, the enthalpy economizer mode will open the outside air dampers on a call for cooling and close the return dampers. The unit can also control the room pressure utilizing the outside air and return air dampers to pressurize the room and using exhaust fans (remote or integral) to relieve the pressure in the room. 

During the optional cleanup mode, the CPA air handling unit is designed to condition 100% outside air. The outside air will be cooled or heated as required to maintain the supply air temperature, before being supplied to the room, purging the room of moisture and chemical produced during the washing process.

 

EVAPCO Sanitizing System (ESS™) Technology

Specifying the EVAPCO Sanitizing System (ESS) with your CPA System will virtually eliminate hazardous bioaerosols from the cooling coil/pan, resulting in hygienically clean air and improved product quality while maintaining system performance and significantly reducing annual maintenance costs.
