Recirculators

Horizontal and Vertical

Frick Recirculator Vessels
Frick® recirculator vessels are designed to create conditions to separate liquid and vapor refrigerant. Dry refrigerant gas is removed from the returning liquid vapor mixture and allowed to be drawn to the system compressors. The liquid is collected in the bottom of the recirculator to feed the recirculation pumps.
  • The Frick® bare recirculator vessel 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 recirculator with various refrigerants, nozzle sizing based on maximum vessel capacity or specific capacity and modification of the nozzle locations (within limitations)
  • The Frick® recirculator 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 welds. It is vacuum dehydrated and charged with a 15 psi nitrogen charge for shipment and storage. This procedure minimizes the potential for internal corrosion prior to being placed into service.
 
 
  • 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
