The AquaEdge 19DV centrifugal chiller is illustrative of Carrier's ongoing commitment to innovation and technology leadership through the development of energy efficient, reliable and environmentally-responsible solutions to serve different segments.
The advanced two-stage compressor was designed and optimised for refrigerant R-1233zd(E), which has a global warming potential (GWP) of 1.34 and an A1 safety classification per ASHRAE standard 34. The compressor's low-speed direct drive back-to-back design significantly improves efficiency while balancing internal forces, enabling the use of energy-saving ceramic bearings that utilise the refrigerant already in the chiller as lubricant.
The intuitive touchscreen user interface provides graphical trending and remote access capability and can be mounted on any corner of the machine. Its simplicity, flexibility and performance make the AquaEdge 19DV easy to own and operate.
In March, Carrier announced the launch of AquaForce Vision 30KAV with Greenspeed intelligence. Its new range of variable-speed screw chillers, with a first phase covering cooling capacities from 500 kW up to 1100 kW and reaching exceptional levels of seasonal efficiency.
Carrier's AquaForce Vision 30KAV achieves outstanding energy performance. Equipped with variable-speed screw compressors and variable-speed fans – AC as standard and EC as an option – as well as optional variable-speed pumps, Carrier's AquaForce Vision 30KAV automatically adjusts the cooling capacity and water flow to perfectly match the needs of the building or process load variations.
The range has been designed with the ability to upgrade to ultra-low GWP refrigerant R-1234ze (HFO, GWP ~1, non-toxic, A2L) while on-site to minimise the initial customer investment and allow flexibility on refrigerant choice when HFCs are phased-down. The AquaForce Vision PUREtec 30KAV-ZE version, designed exclusively for R-1234ze, will be available in 2018.
