Advansor upgrades SteelXL CO2 climate solution

DENMARK: The upgraded SteelXL from CO2 specialists Advansor is described as the ultimate all-in-one industrial climate solution with 4x the capacity of the previous version. 

Boasting impressive capabilities within a single frame, the new SteelXL can deliver cooling power of 2.7MW, freezing capacity of 1.9MW, air conditioning at 0.5MW and heating up to 4MW. 

Facilities requiring greater capacity can scale up to 50MW or more in parallel, ensuring adaptability for various industries like, for instance, food processing, distribution centres and the pharmaceutical industry.

With a focus on space efficiency, the new SteelXL features a reduced length to fit into more compact machinery rooms. 

Operating entirely on CO2 refrigerant, the SteelXL features improved piping which significantly reduce pressure loss and thereby increase energy efficiency. It also incorporates the company’s latest energy saving technologies such as Advansor ejector, liquid power cooler and ultra-low superheat.

The unit is said to be highly configurable with multiple options and combinations to meet all demands. All components and options are calculated, tested and validated individually and in combination according to vibrations, noise, assembly, high temperatures and high pressure demands.

It features a fully welded frame with all functions and options integrated within it and the electrical panel mounted on it. All controllers are fully programmed in the factory.
