Carrier Introduces New Air-Cooled Screw Chiller
New line achieves industry-leading efficiency and greater flexibility with a smaller footprint
Carrier is pleased to introduce the new AquaForce® 30XV air-cooled screw chiller with Greenspeed® intelligence. Powered by variable-speed technology that delivers best-in-class energy efficiency and a quieter operation, with a tiered approach for a broader operating range and design flexibility, the AquaForce 30XV is the next step in Carrier’s commitment to remain at the forefront of commercial climate control technology.
Carrier’s relentless focus on innovation has yielded an industry-leading integrated part-load value, making it the most efficient chiller serving applications from 140 to 325 tons. The 30XV chiller line also offers a flexible, tiered approach to provide an optimally sized chiller to fit customer’s needs including the smallest footprint chiller to exceed ASHRAE 90.1-2013 specification.
“The development of our AquaForce 30XV air-cooled chiller line continues our legacy of providing our customers with the most efficient heating and cooling equipment in the industry,” says Chris Opie, director, marketing, Carrier Commercial Systems. “This translates to a chiller that reduces energy costs, can operate in sound-sensitive applications and has the smallest footprint in its class.”
The new line features variable-frequency drives for the compressors and fan motors along with advanced PIC5+ intelligent controls to help provide optimal chiller performance. The 30XV series chiller builds on Carrier’s growing portfolio of smart connected chillers, as well. With the addition of Carrier® SMART Service as an available, factory-installed option, building owners and facility managers can now experience an entirely new level of equipment connectivity solutions including: remote diagnostics, long-term performance trending, benchmarking, decision analytics and advanced notifications. By leveraging new insights derived from these capabilities, Carrier SMART Service can help increase equipment reliability, reduce energy and maintenance expenses and lower resource consumption.
The AquaForce 30XV chiller is ideally suited for office buildings, schools, data centers, hotels and hospitals and any other applications where a quieter operation, high efficiency and flexible footprint are essential.
