Evaporators are a crucial component of commercial refrigeration systems, responsible for absorbing heat to maintain a low-temperature environment within the refrigeration unit. There are three primary types of evaporators used in our production of coolers and freezers: skin evaporators, roll bond evaporators, and fin evaporators.
Skin Evaporator
Skin evaporators, also known as tubular evaporators, are constructed from tubular metal and are designed to be mounted on the back or side of a refrigerator unit. Typically used in household and mini beverage coolers, skin evaporators provide a more uniform cooling effect. However, they are not well-suited for larger commercial refrigeration systems like 2 or 3 door commercial fridges.
Roll Bond Evaporator
Roll bond evaporators, on the other hand, are made by rolling two aluminum plates into a rectangular shape. They are a cost-effective option for both domestic and commercial refrigerators, offering a long lifespan and easy maintenance. However, their cooling effect may not be as uniform as other types of evaporators.

However, their cooling effect may not be as uniform as other types of evaporators.
Fin Evaporator
Fin evaporators consist of a series of small metal plates in a long strip shape, and are widely used in large commercial refrigeration systems and supermarket display cabinets. The advantage of fin evaporators is their ability to provide a uniform cooling effect, but they are generally more expensive than other types of evaporators.
Comparison List of the 3 Types of Evaporators
To choose the best refrigerator with the right evaporator, you need to consider factors like the size of the cabinet, cooling temperature, ambient operating temperature, and cost-effectiveness. Just leave it all to us, and we’ll give you the best proposal at the lowest cost.
Evaporator | Cost | Material | Installation Location | Defrost Type | Repair | Applicable to |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Skin | Low | Aluminum | Inside Foam Body | Manual | Irreparable | Static / Fan Assisted Cooling |
Roll Bond | Low | Aluminum | Inside Fridge | Manual | Repairable | Fan Assisted Cooling |
Fin | High | Aluminum / Copper | Inside Fridge | Automatic | Repairable | Dynamic Cooling |
