The Quantum Water models will cater to the full spectrum of different capacities from 200kW kilowatts to 4MW, thanks to a new design of compressor. The Quantum P will remain available for customers requiring even higher capacities from 4MW to 11.5MW.

Models will be available for refrigerants R515B, R134a, R513A and R1234ze, with each machine requiring a smaller quantity of refrigerant than its predecessor.
