HVAC FEATURE HIGH PERFORMANCE WATER-COOLED CHILLERS SKILLFRIDGE AT ACR SHOW
Manufacturing facility owners and managers must address rising energy prices to be efficient. Trane provides solutions for those seeking the best seasonal efficiency for their water-cooled chillers by introducing the RTWD HSE new Adaptive Frequency Drive (AFD) driven screw chiller. “Expansion of our RTWD range with
this new high seasonal efficiency version gives our customers more performance- oriented and cost effective product choices for every comfort cooling or sensitive industrial process application,” says portfolio manager applied chillers Erik Van Oossanen. “High performance buildings require high performance systems and Trane is here to deliver.” The RTWD HSE combines the best in
class reliability of the proven Trane RTWD range with the innovative improvement of the AFD. This reduces energy consumption by increasing the chiller’s efficiency under reduced load conditions and offers energy efficiency gains up to 20% compared with fixed speed compressor chillers. Additionally, the new design removes inrush currents which translates into reduced installation costs and higher reliability. The RTWD chillers are equipped with an advanced, digital Tracer CH530 controller
For the first time the ACR Show will feature the national SkillFRIDGE competition. Six apprentices from UK colleges and training providers will compete to achieve gold medal position. Skills and knowledge required to work
and feature Trane Adaptive Control algorithms and proprietary control strategies that respond to a variety of conditions to maintain efficient operation and significantly shorten the response time. The algorithms keep the chiller running even during the most challenging conditions when others would shut down. The high seasonal efficiency Trane
RTWD HSE range of water-cooled screw chillers offers market-leading Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) and European Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ESEER) within the various sizes and cooling capacities of up to 1,000 kW.

Improvement of the AFD offers energy efficiency gains up to 20% when compared with fixed speed compressor chillers
in the HVACR industry include electrical wiring, fault finding, pipework fabrication, joining of materials, commissioning, refrigerant charging, efficient set up and recovery of refrigerant. In addition, judges will look for the ability to design, plan and effectively solve problems encountered in the test projects. “FETA (Federation of Environmental Trade Associations) views training and skills as key to the successful future of all of our member organisations,” says chief executive Russell Beattie. “Without the right people coming into the industry we will struggle to meet the growing demand for products and services. Training is necessary to ensure that current staff refresh their know- how and skills. FETA has worked with groups in our membership to develop NVQs and other training programmes. Government focus is now very much on employer groups shaping skills and training for their sectors and this is something we can actively support. “
