Description
Product Summary
This Larkin walk-in cooler system is sized for an 8 ft x 8 ft box with an 8 ft ceiling held at 35°F. It pairs the LCH0005MBACZA0000 0.5 HP medium temperature condensing unit with the LEC0065AS7AMAB0000 center mount air defrost unit cooler.
The sizing comes from Heatcraft's own tools. Their box load calculator puts a typical load for this box at about 6,939 BTU/h, and their system selector picks this condensing unit (about 7,020 BTU/h at 95°F ambient and +25°F suction) with this unit cooler (about 6,400 BTU/h at a 10°F TD) on R-448A. The condensing unit runs on 208/230V 1-phase power.
Key Features
- Sized by box: matched to an 8' x 8' walk-in cooler using Heatcraft's box load and system selection tools.
- Manufacturer matched: condensing unit and unit cooler picked together by Heatcraft for Larkin equipment.
- Efficient: both pieces meet DOE walk-in efficiency rules (condensing unit AWEF 7.6, unit cooler AWEF 9).
- Air defrost: the unit cooler defrosts with box air during off cycles.
Ideal Applications
- Restaurant and convenience store walk-in coolers
- Beverage, floral and produce coolers
- New boxes and replacement of an older system of similar size
Frequently Asked Questions
Will this system work for my 8' x 8' cooler?
It is sized for typical use: 8 ft ceiling, standard insulated panels, normal door traffic and product loading. Heavy door traffic, warm product pull-down, glass doors or a box in direct sun add load and may call for the next size up. Send us your box details and our team will confirm the size.
What else do I need to install it?
Plan on the refrigerant line set, an expansion valve and liquid line solenoid (unless factory mounted on the unit cooler), a thermostat, the refrigerant charge and electrical disconnects, plus a licensed refrigeration contractor.
Can I buy more than one system?
Yes. Ordering 2 to 4 systems takes 3% off each, and 5 or more takes 5% off.
