Higher performance in a smaller chiller package

BELGIUM: The RTWF XSE is the latest addition to the XStream portfolio of water-cooled chillers and water-to-water heat pumps.

The new RTWF XSE units, available in capacities from 400 to 1320kW, feature Trane’s variable Vi screw compressor that enables high seasonal cooling efficiencies and high heating temperatures within one single system. Its SEER is up to 8.91, with up to 68ºC heating capabilities.

Trane says that the compact design and a smaller footprint enables building owners to replace older, less efficient systems and benefit from higher capacities and heating and cooling efficiencies without space concerns. 

The RTWF range is designed for use with R134a, R513A or R1234ze.
