and aluminium coils, helping to reduce the chiller’s carbon footprint.
Available with an optional Enviro-Shield coating to
protect against corrosion, these innovative microchannel heat exchangers off er better thermal performance than traditional coils and can recover more heat during the winter, further increasing effi ciency. A heat recovery option off ered on the AquaForce Vision
30KAV uses a hybrid design that harnesses the benefi ts of both serial and parallel design approaches. When heat reclaim is activated, the air-cooled coils are automatically isolated to reduce the impact of cold ambient air on the heat that can be recovered from the water-cooled heat exchanger.
This option increases heat recovery by 25% at nominal load with 35 C outside air temperature, and by 100% or more when the chiller operates with low outside air temperature, compared with the traditional serial-only approach to heat recovery. Fast restart
For mission-critical applications, such as process cooling and food manufacturing, Carrier has developed an ultra-fast capacity recovery option. In the event of the chiller power supply being interrupted, the recovery option enables very rapid restart following the power being restored. With the system, chillers can be back in operation in approximately 60 seconds of a power outage, minimising the risk of damage to the process or products being cooled. This feature impressed the ACR News judging panel, due to its ability to protect end users’ production and maintain quality control.
To minimise running costs, customers can opt for one of
Carrier’s BluEdge service support options to keep chillers operating at peak performance and effi ciency throughout their life cycle. The service uses Carrier’s advanced cloud- based diagnostics platform within BluEdge to monitor and optimise chillers remotely and, where required, via site visits by experienced staff . Simple installation For contractors and service staff , the 30KAV has been designed to be quick and easy to install and maintain. Its compact dimensions give ready access in areas where space is tight, while its electrical system ensures compatibility with earthing requirements in diff erent segments. In addition, use of smart energy monitoring and onboard leak detection enable chiller operation to be monitored in real-time. With the development of the AquaForce 30KAV air-cooled chiller line, we continue our commitment of providing customers with the latest low GWP refrigerant requirements to comply with pending requirements, while improving effi ciency and keeping the fl exibility and high effi ciency we already off er with our legacy models. This allows customers to reduce energy costs, be compliant with the latest refrigerant regulations and have access to diff erent coil and evaporator confi gurations, all in a small footprint. The benefi ts of the AquaForce 30KAV tightly align with our customers’ sustainability goals, energy needs, cost pressures, changing business requirements, comfort needs and health concerns. The AquaForce Vision 30KAV with R-1234ze refrigerant contributes to Carrier’s HYPERLINK “
