Frick® Receivers

Vertical, Horizontal and Thermosyphon

Frick Recievers Vessels
Frick® high pressure receivers provide a storage location of high pressure liquid refrigerant for a refrigeration system buffering the impact of system transients. Some receivers are designed to hold the entire system charge during times of extensive maintenance.

Thermosyphon receivers provide priority liquid supply to critical oil cooling loads

Frick® Receivers may be:
  • Vertical or Horizontal Vessel Orientation
  • General High Pressure
  • Dedicated Thermosyphon
  • Combination High Pressure / Thermosyphon
  • The Frick® high pressure/thermosyphon receiver is designed and rated for the specified refrigerant and operating conditions.
  • All nozzle connections are sized according to industry standard criteria based on the refrigerant and specified operating conditions.
  • Frick® Coolware software allows custom rating of the receiver with various refrigerants, nozzle sizing based on maximum vessel capacity or specific capacity and modification of the nozzle locations (based on limitations)
  • The Frick® pressure vessel and components are abrasively cleaned prior to assembly assuring a clean interior and maximum adhesion of the final exterior paint system.
  • The finished vessel is pressure tested to assure the integrity of all fabrication welds. It is vacuum dehydrated and charged with a 15 psi nitrogen charge for shipment and storage.
 
 
  • Codes: Designed and constructed per ASME, Section VIII (latest addenda) and the Manufacturer’s Data Report registered with the National Board.
  • Design Pressure: Vessels intended for ammonia (R-717) duty are designed for a 250 psi pressure rating (300 psi on 24 inch and smaller). Alternate design pressure ratings are available
  • Special Treatment: Post-weld heat treatment is standard for ammonia vessels
  • Cleanliness: Pressure vessel shell material and components are abrasively cleaned prior to assembly
  • Exterior Finish: High-quality, corrosion-resistant, long-lasting epoxy paint
  • Quality Check: Vessels are pressure tested for integrity and leak checked
  • Prep for Shipment: Finished vessels are vacuum dehydrated and charged with 15 psi of nitrogen for shipment and storage
  • Various Frick® Receiver Specifications-Engineering-Data (SED) document links are located under the Resources Tab.
