Comfort Cooling
CFT Series chillers, a variation of the CWB Series, have been optimized for operating conditions associated with comfort cooling applications. With capacities up to 85 tons, CFT Series chillers operate on 460/3/60 power and are made for outdoor installation. Among the standard features of this series are hermetic scroll compressors, microchannel aluminum condensers, axial fans, an electronic expansion valve, and a copper-brazed stainless steel evaporator. A microprocessor controller monitors the refrigerant and fluid circuits, and manages the entire system. Options include continuous fan speed control for operation in low ambient conditions, condenser e-coating for enhanced corrosion protection, and a variety of pump and tank configurations to suit your installation.
FLUID CIRCUIT
- Standard models include a stainless steel, brazed plate evaporator, without tank or pump
- Options include single and dual pumps in a variety of pressures
- Available with insulated tank in carbon steel
- Fluid differential pressure switch protects evaporator against low-
flow condition - Fluid pressure gauge (pump discharge pressure)
- Ability to use glycol mixtures up to 50%
- Suitable for Comfort Cooling Applications
REFRIGERATION CIRCUIT
- Manufactured with high-quality materials following rigorous brazing procedures and conforming to international standards (PED 2014/68/EU)
- Environmentally friendly R410A refrigerant
- Refrigerant sight glass with moisture indicator and filter-dryer
- Electronic expansion valve and liquid line solenoid valve
- High and low pressure transducers and switches
- High and low pressure gauges
- High and low pressure access fittings for maintenance and troubleshooting
COMPRESSOR
- Tandem, hermetic scroll compressors chosen for reliability
and efficiency - Multiple compressors for energy efficiency and low starting amps
- Mounted on rubber isolators for noise reduction
- Scroll compressors are especially quiet and can handle liquid return without damage
- Protected against reverse rotation by an electronic phase monitor
- Crankcase heater prevents liquid slugging on start-up
EVAPORATOR
- Stainless steel, brazed plate evaporators are compact and highly efficient
- Evaporators are protected against freezing by the microprocessor controller
- Evaporator has two refrigerant circuits and a single fluid circuit
(CFT230 to CFT300)
CONDENSER
- Microchannel design is compact and highly efficient
- All-aluminum construction eliminates the risk of galvanic corrosion
- Variable-speed fan allows operation over a wide ambient
temperature range (Option)
ELECTRICAL PANEL
- Manufactured in compliance with international standards (EN 60204) using UL-recognized components
- Electrical cabinet constructed of powder-coated galvanized steel
- Disconnect switch with door lock prevents access to panel when energized
MICROPROCESSOR CONTROLLER
- Optimizes unit performance and maintains fluid temperature
- Controls and displays the fluid temperature
- Turns the compressors on and off while protecting against short cycling
- Turns the pump(s) on and off; equalizes pump operating times
(double pump models) - Regulates condenser fan speed (option)
- Protected by a watertight cover
- Displays key operating parameters and the following alarm conditions
- High and low refrigerant pressure
- High refrigerant discharge temperature
- Low fluid differential pressure
- Incorrect phase sequence
- Compressor, pump, or fan motor protector tripped
- Temperature probe or pressure sensor failure
- High fluid temperature
- Evaporator anti-freeze
- Electronic expansion valve fault
UNIT CONSTRUCTION AND MAINTENANCE
- Cabinet frame and panels are powder-coated and suitable for outdoor installation
- Panels are easily removed, providing convenient access for maintenance and repair
- All fasteners are stainless or zinc-plated steel for corrosion resistance
- Protection to IP54 standard on all models; suitable for outdoor installation
- Designed for ease of operation and maintenance
FACTORY TESTING OF EVERY CFT UNIT
- Pressurization and helium leak detection of refrigeration circuit
- Pressurization and leak testing of fluid circuit
- Chiller performance and power consumption at full load
- Proper operation of all controls, safety devices, and alarms
- Electrical tests according to international standards (EN 60204)
