COVER COIL/FAN (CPA60)

Various coils are used in restaurant equipment componentry. An electromagnetic coil is an electrical conductor such as a wire in the shape of a coil, spiral or helix. They are used in electrical engineering, in applications where electric currents interact with magnetic fields, in devices such as electric motors, generators, inductors, electromagnets, transformers, solenoid valves, and sensor coils. Either an electric current is passed through the wire of the coil to generate a magnetic field, or conversely an external time-varying magnetic field through the interior of the coil generates an EMF (voltage) in the conductor.

In refrigeration equipment, the "condenser coil" dispels hot air to the outside of the space. The refrigerant then loops back to the compressor, gets cold again, absorbs heat and disperses it to the outside. As long as the compressor is running, the refrigerant keeps up this continuous loop. Extracting heat from the storage space and transferring it to the refrigerant is the function of the "evaporator coil".

In dish washing machines, the steam coil preheats incoming water, reducing the energy needed to heat the water used in the sanitizing rinse.

Fans are used in restaurant equipment for a variety of purposes, including ventilation, cooling, and air circulation. In kitchen equipment, fans are used to ventilate cooking areas, remove smoke and odors, and maintain a consistent temperature. Fans are also used in refrigeration equipment, such as refrigerators and freezers, to circulate air and maintain a consistent temperature throughout the appliance.

There are several types of fans that can be used in restaurant equipment, including axial fans, centrifugal fans, and blowers. Axial fans are used to move air in a linear direction, and are commonly used in ventilation systems and cooling equipment. Centrifugal fans are used to move air in a circular direction, and are often used in refrigeration equipment and air conditioning systems. Blowers are used to move air at high pressures and are commonly used in ovens and other cooking equipment to provide the force needed to circulate hot air.

Fans are an important component of many types of restaurant equipment, and are used to ensure the safe and efficient operation of the equipment, as well as the quality and safety of the food being prepared.
