FAQ
Evapco condensing unit overhaul in Markman
How fast can a technician service Evapco equipment at a table grape packhouses site in Markman?
Markman sits on the N2 and R335, so our Gqeberha dispatch reaches most Markman Industrial sites inside a standard callout window. Emergency condensing unit overhaul runs 24/7 because slow pull-down causes so₂ pad burn and berry shatter.
Do you stock OEM components for Evapco systems?
Yes — Evapco spray nozzles, drift eliminators, fan drives and water treatment kits. Evapco (USA) equipment on R717/R404A charges is supported with the fast-moving spares held at our Pretoria North workshop and non-stock items brought in on OEM order.
What pressure testing and gas compliance certificates are provided?
Every condensing unit overhaul job closes with a pressure test record and gas handling Certificate of Conformance issued under SANS 10147 by a SAQCC Gas registered technician, plus the PPECB documentation your auditors expect.
What operating envelope do you commission this equipment to?
Table Grape Packhouses run at −0.5 °C to +1 °C at 90–95% RH, with condensing unit overhaul performed against +35 °C to +50 °C condensing. Slow pull-down causes SO₂ pad burn and berry shatter
