Helpman THOR-F
The Helpman THOR-F air cooler series has been specifically designed for the refrigerated storage of agricultural produce.
These coolers are characterised by an optimised capacity/air volume ratio and a relatively low profile. All models have been optimised for air temperatures around 0 °C and a small temperature difference to avoid product dehydration.
