Optimal control of centrifugal chillers
6th February 2025
JAPAN: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) has launched a new model of its Ene-Conductor heat source control system for integrated control of centrifugal chillers and peripheral equipment.
The new EC-8 model, to be added to the lineup this spring, allows for control of up to eight centrifugal chiller units and other equipment such as chilled water pumps, cooling water pumps, and cooling towers.
This packaged solution offers higher energy-saving control functions, such as controlling the number of centrifugal chillers, controlling the variable flow rate of chilled water and cooling water.
With these packaged features, MHI says the new model automatically determines the optimal operation of the entire air conditioning system, reducing power consumption by up to approximately 26%.
The EC-8 model supports both the individual pump system and the multiple pump system widely used in Southeast Asia and the Middle East.
