AIR-COOLED LIQUID CHILLERS 30XA 252-1702
Features and advantages
■■ Compressors
-- Discharge dampers integrated in the oil separator
(Carrier patent).
-- Silencer on the economiser return line.
-- Acoustic compressor and oil separator enclosure
reducing radiated noise (option).
■■ Condenser section
-- Condenser coils in V-shape with an open angle,
allowing quieter air flow across the coil
-- Low-noise 4th generation Flying Bird fans, made of
a composite material (Carrier patent) are now even
quieter and do not generate intrusive low-frequency
noise
-- Rigid fan mounting preventing start-up noise (Carrier
patent).
Easy and fast installation
■■ Integrated hydronic module (option)
-- Centrifugal low or high-pressure water pump (as
required), based on the pressure loss of the hydronic
installation
-- Single or dual pump (as required) with operating time
balancing and automatic changeover to the back-up
pump if a fault develops
-- Water filter protecting the water pump against
circulating debris
-- High-capacity membrane expansion tank ensures
pressurisation of the water circuit
-- Thermal insulation and aluminium protection (option)
-- Pressure sensor to check filter pollution and for
direct numerical display of the water flow rate with an
estimate of the instantaneous cooling capacity at the
control interface
-- Water flow control valve.

Absolute reliability
■■ Screw compressors
-- Industrial-type screw compressors with oversized
bearings and motor cooled by suction gas.
-- All compressor components are easily accessible on
site minimising down-time.
-- Protection increased by an electronic board.
■■ Air condenser
-- All aluminium micro-channel heat exchanger (MCHE)
with high corrosion resistance. The all aluminium
design eliminates the formation of galvanic currents
between aluminium and copper that cause coil
corrosion in saline or corrosive environments.
■■ Evaporator
-- Thermal insulation with aluminium sheet finish
(option) for perfect resistance to external aggression
(mechanical and UV protection).
■■ Auto-adaptive control
-- Control algorithm prevents excessive compressor
cycling (Carrier patent)
-- Automatic compressor unloading in case of
abnormally high condensing pressure. If condenser
coil fouling or fan failure occurs, the AquaForce
continues to operate, but at reduced capacity
■■ Exceptional endurance tests
-- Partnerships with specialised laboratories and use of
limit simulation tools (finite element calculation) for the
design of critical components.
-- Transport simulation test in the laboratory on a
vibrating table. The test is based on a military
standard and equi-valent to 4000 km by truck.
-- Salt mist corrosion resistance test in the laboratory for
increased corrosion resistance.

COOLING
■■ R-134a refrigerant
-- Refrigerant of the HFC group with zero ozone
depletion potential
-- 30% reduction in the refrigerant charge through the
use of micro-channel heat exchangers
■■ Leak-tight refrigerant circuit
-- Reduction of leaks as no capillary tubes and flare
connec-tions are used
-- Verification of pressure transducers and temperature
sensors without transferring refrigerant charge
-- Liquid line service valve for simplified maintenance
(option).
HEATING HEATING
Low operating sound levels
Environmentally balanced
AIR TREATMENT
■■ Exceptionally high full load and part load energy
efficiency:
-- Eurovent energy efficiency class A and B (unit with
high-efficiency option 119).
-- Standardised Eurovent values in accordance with EN
14511-3:2013: EER up to 3.3 and ESEER up to 4.2.
-- New twin-rotor screw compressor equipped with a
high-efficiency motor and a variable capacity valve
that permits exact matching of the cooling capacity to
the load.
-- All aluminium condenser with high-efficiency microchannels.
-- Flooded shell-and-tube evaporator to increase the
heat exchange efficiency.
-- Electronic expansion device permitting operation at a
lower condensing pressure and improved utilisation
of the evaporator heat exchange surface (superheat
control).
-- Economiser system with electronic expansion device
for increased cooling capacity.
■■ Simplified electrical connections
-- Main disconnect switch with high trip capacity
-- Transformer to supply the integrated control circuit
(400/24 V).
■■ Fast commissioning
-- Systematic factory operation test before shipment
-- Quick-test function for step-by-step verification
of the instruments, expansion devices, fans and
compressors.
