-- Automatic compressor unloading in case of abnormally high condensing pressure. If an anomaly occurs (e.g. fouled air heat exchanger coil, fan failure) AquaSnap continues to operate, but at reduced capacity. ■■ Exceptional endurance tests -- Corrosion resistance tests in salt mist in the laboratory -- Accelerated ageing test on components that are submitted to continuous operation: compressor piping, fan supports -- Transport simulation test in the laboratory on a vibrating table. COOLING All-aluminium micro-channel heat exchanger (MCHE) Already utilised in the automobile and aeronautical industries for many years, the MCHE micro-channel heat exchanger is entirely made of aluminium. This one-piece concept significantly increases its corrosion resistance by eliminating the galvanic currents that are created when two different metals (copper and aluminium) come into contact in traditional heat exchangers. As an option, the Enviro-Shield and Super Enviro-Shield anti-corrosion protections have been developed to increase the application range of the MCHE coil from medium to very corrosive environments. With Enviro-Shield protection, corrosion resistance of the MCHE coil is doubled without any impact on heat exchange. With Super Enviro-Shield protection corrosion resistance of the MCHE coil is multiplied by four, and allows use in very corrosive industrial or marine environments The MCHE heat exchanger allows a reduction in chiller refrigerant charge by up to 50%. The low thickness of the MCHE reduces air pressure losses by 50% and makes it less susceptible to fouling (e.g. by sand) than a traditional coil. Cleaning of the MCHE heat exchanger is very fast using a dry air jet or a high-pressure washer, while observing the usage precautions.
