Airedale extends water-cooled chiller range to 3MW

UK: Airedale International, has upgraded and extended its water-cooled chiller range with the launch of the high capacity TurboChill Hydro.

Offered in capacities from 200kW to 3000kW, TurboChill Hydro is available in single and dual circuit variants. It has been developed to operate at high and low water temperatures, and offers additional features for increased performance and efficiency. These include one expansion valve per compressor for increased control in part load, a liquid refrigerant pump to support low pressure ratio operation and an innovative economiser set-up that is flow-matched per compressor to maximise heat exchanger efficiency. 

Airedale says the range has been designed in its R&D labs in Leeds, with energy efficiency as a top priority.

The range builds on the success of the original TurboChill design and Airedale’s 16 year partnership with the Turbocor oil-free centrifugal compressors. 

 With an ESEER of up to 8.98 and EER up to 5.71, the TurboChill Hydro offers Ecodesign Tier 2 (2021) compliance for both SEPR and SSCEE. It is available with either R134a or lower GWP alternative refrigerant R513A. 

TurboChill Hydro can be configured either vertically or side-by-side and is designed to fit through a standard plant room door and into a standard width 20ft shipping container.

TurboChill Hydro will be launched on Thursday October 8 as part of Danfoss’ Cooling United event. To register for this event, or for more information about TurboChill Hydro, visit www.airedale.com/hydro.
