Used Helpman Air Cooled Condensers

Overview

Air-cooled condensers are heat-exchange units that reject refrigerant heat to ambient air using fans and finned coils. Common in HVAC, refrigeration, and industrial process cooling where water supplies are limited, they range from small rooftop units to large packaged skids. Key selection factors include cooling capacity (BTU/kW), airflow, refrigerant compatibility, ambient conditions, corrosion protection, and service access.

FAQ

What should I inspect when buying a used air-cooled condenser?

Check coil condition and fin damage, fan and motor operation, signs of corrosion or leaks, review maintenance records, verify refrigerant type and capacity, and confirm structural integrity of the frame and mounting points.

How should an air-cooled condenser be shipped safely?

Secure the unit on a skid, protect fins and coils from impact, brace fans and loose parts, drain or secure refrigerant according to regulations, label weight and lift points, and use a carrier experienced with HVAC equipment.

What routine maintenance keeps an air-cooled condenser reliable?

Regularly clean coils and fins, inspect and lubricate fan bearings, check motor and belt condition, verify refrigerant charge and look for leaks, ensure proper airflow and corrosion protection, and follow manufacturer service intervals.
