Posted by money on January 15, 2020 at 11:21 amHi,
Trying to identify a part # for a Norlake Freezer.
Looking for whats either called a Distribution Cone System or a Distribution Tube System.
Serial # E09L4950020100
I believe it is part of the Evaporator.
Thank you in Advance!

Is that evaporator model and serial? What gas type

Got norlake looking for the part number, said the part and evap aren’t sold separately, so possible that you’ll have to get after market or a new evap system.

Thank you very much!

And yes that is the Evap Model and Serial.

Money, you have a Witt evaporator that is rated for 21,000 BTU’s Sporland makes the refrigerant distributor and cone orifice. You’ll have to go to a refrigeration house like United for this. Make sure you have the expansion valve information and the number of tubes the distributor has. Because of residual braze being a problem to clean, If the 1/4 inch tubes have corrosion make sure to have some extra on hand and a tube expander it you have to cut them back and then extend them.
By the way, the distributor will have a Sporland number on it.
I’ve had to replace a few in high acid environments.

Money, your also going to either provide heat protection or gut the TXV to prevent coking of the oil in the valve. Make sure to have dry nitrogen on hand. If the tube from the expansion valve is over 3 inches long, You can go to a welding supply shop for a tube of heat sink that you can apply with a cauking gun.

I’m wondering why someone thinks that the distributor is a problem. Irregular ice build up? Or one evaporator circuit not cooling? The most common cause of this is a oil problem with a under capacity condenser with a pressure limiting TXV. The lowest circuit in the evaporator gets flooded with oil over time and prevents refrigerant flow. This is something we saw only in walk-in freezers with the wrong grade of oil when the pressure limiting valves first came out. (Z charge) Normally with the condenser above the evaporator and no oil trap on the evap. I haven’t run into it since we left mineral oil, but I suppose it is possible.
