Trane R290 deep-freeze chiller

BELGIUM: The Aries N Deep Freezing (ASN DF) R290 packaged screw compressor chiller from Trane is designed to deliver leaving fluid temperatures down to -30°C. 

The new range expands Trane’s industrial cooling portfolio across applications in food and beverage, refrigerated warehouses, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. 

With capacities up to 360kW, the Aries N Deep Freezing is said to be a standardised, factory-engineered packaged alternative to bespoke NH3 or CO2 solutions, combining high capacity, efficiency, and low-temperature capability in a single solution. 

Seven sizes are available in single- and dual-circuit configurations and capacities up to 360kW. Each circuit features one VFD screw compressor, and the units incorporate a microchannel condenser and brazed plate heat exchanger evaporator.

The operating map covers leaving fluid temperatures from -12°C to -30°C and ambient conditions from -20°C to +46°C.

The range is also SEPR-LT compliant, meeting applicable seasonal efficiency requirements for low-temperature applications

To support safe operation with R290, the unit includes SDS2E safety features comprising segregation box, leak detector, stop, signal and gas expulsion fan.
