A commercial refrigeration unit is disclosed, including an airflow device adapted to circulate air an airflow zone, and a microchannel evaporator disposed in the airflow zone and adapted to exchange heat with the circulating air in the airflow zone. The microchannel evaporator includes a plurality of flow circuits. Each flow circuit includes at least one tube adapted to allow a flow of refrigerant fluid therethrough. The microchannel evaporator further includes a plurality of fin elements adapted to removably couple with the plurality of flow circuits. The plurality of fin elements is arranged such that a condensation passage is formed between at least some of the fin elements to allow passage of condensate formed in the microchannel evaporator. The microchannel evaporator is oriented in the airflow zone, such that the passage of condensate is downstream along a direction of flow of circulating air towards a first surface of the microchannel evaporator.
A commercial refrigeration unit, comprising:
A microchannel evaporator for a commercial refrigeration unit disposed in an airflow zone of the commercial refrigeration unit, and adapted to exchange heat with a circulating air in the airflow zone, the microchannel evaporator comprising:
