Top class ceiling air cooler

 
With its flat, robust design, the DLK is suitable for all cold rooms with special requirements. These can include the frequent movement of people, aggressive particles owing to a wide range of goods or changing purposes. With uniform air distribution, it ensures a stable room temperature and meets the strictest hygiene requirements owing to its corrosion resistance.

Two design lines for even more flexibility!

Since June 2023, the DLK Next will offer you even more features!

The new DLK Next with increased versatility

The DLK Next features an easy-to-install housing with particularly generously dimensioned cut-out options for high flexibility, as well as stainless steel suspension brackets for mounting flush with the ceiling.

 

  • Wide range of housing openings for all installation variants
  • Flush ceiling suspensions made of stainless steel (instead of mounting rails)
  • High-efficiency two-stage EC fans as standard
  • Fans with speed control optionally available
  • High flexibility due to block variants with 4 / 6 RR in depth
  • Tube system with low tube volume for use with CO2 up to PS 80bar

The proven DLK flatline in a particularly flat design

The DLK flatline is suitable for all cold rooms that are subject to special requirements due to its flat and robust design.

 

  • Particularly flat design (only 246mm)
  • Two-stage controllable EC fans (standard)
  • Load-dependent multi-stage controllable via ESM module
  • Variable speed control via optional plug-on module possible
  • Flat stainless steel suspension rails
  • Wall-mounting by means of additional drip tray (option)

Simplified performance comparison of the DLK family

The DLK Next replaces the previous larger and more powerful EurolinePlus version and is the ideal complement to the existing DLK-flatline.

The tables provided here offer you an exemplary overview for the performance-side counterparts of the series. Listed are the series for HFC and CO2 refrigerants with different fin spacing.

However, you can obtain an optimum design for your project via the Roller EasySelect selection program.

Reconstruction large kitchen - DLK - Schlittenhardt

Schlittenhardt's task was to upgrade all of its customer's cooling equipment  while its large kitchen was still operating. When modernizing the five cold stores, Schlittenhardt opted for various products including DLK evaporator units from Roller. To ensure reliable operation, the units which were previously used inside were installed on the canopy and the very latest control systems were used.
