Aqua Cooling Solutions have launched their most energy efficient range of industrial process chillers yet. This innovative air & water cooled range integrate magnetically levitated oil-free Turbo compressors with R134a, requiring massively less energy than conventional designs. These offer greater efficiency even than comparable class leading ammonia systems!
The Turbocor compressor is the first totally oil-free, "smart" compressor with novel design features including, magnetic bearings, 0 - 100% continuous capacity control, centrifugal compression & onboard digital electronics. The oil-free operation negates all oil management hardware & associated controls, resulting in increased longevity & lower maintenance requirements. Consequently full 5 year inclusive warranties are available.
Full load COP efficiencies of 6.5 are possible with water cooled versions, whilst 40 - 70% part load efficiency is truly outstanding, easily exceeding 8.0! (1.). This is beyond ammonia efficiency with none of the associated drawbacks. Contrast this with traditional screw compressors, which typically have very poor part load efficiencies.
The turbo compressor is significantly smaller than a conventional screw with an operating weight of just 120 kg. In addition, units are exceptionally quiet, operating at just 70 dB(A) (conversation level) with virtually no vibration.
"As a company we are committed to continually researching & developing the very best solutions for our wide customer base" explains Aqua's Director Simon Davis. "Energy efficiency is a primary driver for our clients and these latest units really are super efficient, offering a whole host of other valuable benefits. They are ideal for process or air conditioning systems and make the logical choices for any requirement above 300 kW. Compare the performance of these compressors to oil-flooded screw compressors on the same water-cooled chiller, and the difference is just incredible! These chillers are our most efficient by far, and an exciting direction for us as we enter 2008."
Aqua Cooling Solutions work closely with the Carbon Trust, with products listed on the Energy Technology List (ECA) and will happily offer energy saving advice and site services without any further obligation.

1. Model quoted is the water cooled TMH 1000/34 capable of 1,050 kW of cooling when providing chilled water at 7 degrees centigrade (12 degrees centigrade return) with water supplied to the condenser at 27 degrees centigrade (32 degrees centigrade) return. 100% load COP = 6.5, 50% load COP = 8.0. Greater figures are available with lower water condensers.
