    EXPLANATION OF THE REVOLUTIONARY
NEW MUELLER "FRE-HEATER™"
FOR THE DAIRY FARM
Bulk milk coolers on modern dmry forms remove heal from
the milk promptly after It is produced To accomplish this
requires refrigeration machines and they are generally of
the air-cooled type Air-cooled condensing units literally
"throw away' this valuable heat
On those some farms, large amounts of hot water are need
ed lor "propping" the cows, washing the milk cooler, the
pipeline milker, other equipment, and the milking parlor
itself It is also advantageous to heat the cows drinking
water in winter
The Muefler Fre-Healar conserves energy and provides
"free" hot water by capturing the heat now wasted!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS;
Rather than using noisy, dust-creating fans with fragile,
dirt collecting air-cooled condensers, the refrigerant is
routed to a specially designed condenser/heal exchanger
and its heat is transferred to the water
A thermostatically controlled valve delivers 145° F water
to the storage tank
In addition to the thermostatic valve, a mixing valve is pro
vided to permit "preppmg" temperature water
Thus, the Fre-Heafer delivers two temperatures of wafer
preppmg and washing
Teats indicate the Fre-Haater consumes 10% lass power
than an air-cooled system ... and you get Free Hot Water!
ELIMINATES REFRIGERATION SERVICE PROBLEMS!
The most common causes of slow cooling in bulk milk
cooling systems are related to the air-cooled condenser
Three things which frequently reduce the efficiency are
1. Poor air circulation and recirculation
2. Fan motor failures
3 Dirty or clogged condenser fins
Air-cooled condensing units are generally installed out of
doors in order to assure adequate air supply to the con
denser. This exposes the compressor to extreme ambient
temperatures Starting problems and compressor failures
have resulted and air-cooled condenser units are always
noisy.
The Fre-Heater eliminates these problems because;
• There is no air-cooled condenser.
• The Fre-Heater is installed indoors
• There are no fans to generate noise.
• The head pressure is very stable assuring longer
compressor life.
• There are no cold weather starting problems, plus
... the Fre-Heater conserves energy and produces
Free Hot Water!
HOW MUCH HOT WATER CAN BE GENERATED?
There are many variables, so this question cannot be an
swered directly; however, a rule of thumb is that a Fre-
Heater operating on 60° F. well water will produce a volume
of 145° F. water similar to the amount of milk produced
dunng a milking. In other words, if 100 gallons of milk per
milking is produced, approximately 100 gallons of hot water
(145° F.) will be generated during each milking.

WHAT SIZES
ARE AVAILABLE?
2, 3 and 4 H P units are available for either HiPerForm or
conventional refrigeration systems
The 2 H P. unit normally requires a 120 US gallon water
storage tank and the 3 and 4 H P size each normally re
quire two 120 gallon water storage tanks. (See typical in
stallation diagrams on back)
The Mueller “Fre-Heafer” can be used with either the Muel
ler HiPerForm Bulk Milk Cooler or with a conventional bulk
milk cooler.
