The liquid-cooled chillers of the KRONOS WDP series have a closed machine housing and are designed for indoor installation as standard. With the optionally available weatherproof housing, however, they can also be installed outdoors.
Equipment controllers use a combination of fixed and expandable I/O platforms to satisfy a wide range of customer performance and budget requirements. Configurability and optional features are built-in at the product level, so we can satisfy system requirements without the need for a custom design every time. System software is fully configured and undergoes full-functional testing before it leaves the facility, ensuring reliable, energy-efficient control.
The HELIOS chiller series from Secon was developed to cover small to medium capacity ranges. The air-cooled units are available in single- or dual-circuit versions. Semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors, which were specially developed for applications with flammable refrigerants, are used as compressors. The capacity control is stepless by using inverters.
The Vahterus Plate & Shell heat exchanger is the forerunner in heat exchanger technology; compact and manufactured to a high standard of quality. At the heart of our heat exchanger is a fully welded pack of circular plates, with pressure containment achieved using a strong, unique shell construction. With its construction, the Vahterus Plate & Shell heat exchanger combines the best features of Plate Heat exchanger and Shell & Tube exchangers.
Unlike a typical reversible system, CHC systems can supply heating and cooling both simultaneously and independently. With a CHC system, only one compressor rack is necessary to cover the complete heating and cooling demand for large-scale industrial buildings.
Oasis liquid cooled chillers are designed to deliver high-efficiency cooling for large commercial and industrial facilities, offering cooling capacities from 26 kW to 410 kW. The units are ideal for office buildings, hospitals, hotels, data centers and process cooling applications where cooling demand is high and often continuous. By utilizing liquid as the heat rejection medium, the system benefits from stable temperature control, optimized compressor operation and improved seasonal energy performance.
