ULTRA - TEMP
Features
• APPLICATIONS — Ultra-Temp unit coolers are
ideally suited for a wide range of large coolers,
freezers and blast freezers. The U*U and U*L models
are designed for use below -3.9°C room
temperature. The U*M and UAH models are
designed for coolers in the medium and high
temperature ranges.
• SIZES — There are 61 sizes available, ranging in
capacity from 3,500 to 80,000 WATTS @ 10°TD, and
3
ranging in air flow from 4,620 to 50,800 M /HR.
• HOUSING — Rust-free, heavy gauge textured
Aluminum; lightweight and durable. Air and electric
defrost models have hinged drain pans to allow for
convenient servicing and maintenance (Hot Gas
drain pans are not hinged).
• LIFTING LEGS - 2 fan models and larger are shipped
upright with removable lifting legs, allowing the
unit to be installed quickly, and easily with a forklift.
Slotted hangers are provided for fast installation.
• COIL — Seamless copper tubes are mechanically
expanded into heavy gauge corrugated Aluminum
fins to assure maximum heat transfer. Die formed
fin collars are provided for accurate fin spacing.
Hangers are fastened directly to the tube sheets of
the coil to provide high structural strength. All units
are dehydrated, sealed and shipped with a nitrogen
holding charge.
• REFRIGERANTS — For use with direct expansion,
R-404A, R-502 and R-507. Specify refrigerant when
ordering. A separate compartment is provided for all
refrigeration connections, allowing ample room for
internal mounting of expansion valve(s). Ultra-
Temps can also be used for chilled water or glycol
solutions, contact factory for selection.
• FANS — Powerful, heavy-duty Aluminum fans are
individually balanced to provide vibration-free
operation. Wire fan guards are epoxy coated for
corrosion resistance. Optional air straighteners are
available for increased air throw.
• MOTORS — All standard motors are high efficiency
PSC, ball bearing type, life lubricated and thermally
protected. U*U and U*L models use 3/4 HP, 1075
RPM or 3/4 HP, 1625 RPM motors. U*M and UAH
models use 1/3 HP or 3/4 HP, 1075 RPM motors.
Optional EC motors are now available for all
Ultra- Temp models.
• ELECTRICAL — Available in 115/1, 208/230/1,
208/230/3, 460/1 and 460/3 (see page 10).
Ultra- Temps can also be operated on 220/1/50,
220/3/50, 380/1/50, and 380/3/50 power (contact
factory for details). All components are factory
wired to convenient screw-type terminal blocks.
A large compartment is supplied for all electrical
components and is easily accessible by removing
the end panel.
• AIR DEFROST — Available on UAM and UAH series
only for use in coolers at +1.7°C and above.
Complete Air Defrost systems are available from
Russell.
• ELECTRIC DEFROST — Available on all but the
UAH models. Placement of the heaters within the
refrigeration coil allow for a more efficient and rapid
defrost cycle. This arrangement enables heat to be
conducted from the center of the core out, for a
more even defrost pattern. All heaters are factory
wired to screw-type terminal blocks, allowing for a
quick field change over from 1 to 3 phase or 230V
to 460V and vice versa with the use of jumpers. An
adjustable, remote bulb defrost termination and
fan delay (DTFD) is mounted and wired. Drain pans
are heated for fast, reliable drainage. Timer and
contactors are available as options, see page 11.
Complete Electric Defrost systems are available from
Russell.
• HOT GAS 3 PIPE DEFROST — Available on all but
the UAH models. Includes an adjustable defrost
termination and fan delay (DTFD), factory installed.
A hot gas drain circuit is supplied, thus eliminating
the need for electric heat and additional wiring.
A Heat Exchanger/Re-Evaporator is supplied with
every unit. Refer to the current Technical Bulletin HG
for piping. Complete Hot Gas Re-Evap systems are
available from Russell, contact factory.
• HOT GAS REVERSE CYCLE DEFROST — Available
on all but the UAH models. Includes an adjustable
defrost termination and fan delay. (DTFD) factory
installed. A hot gas drain pan circuit is supplied, thus
eliminating the need for electric heat and additional
wiring. Refer to the current Technical Bulletin HG
For piping. This unit is also used for Alternating
Evaporator Systems.
