Screw Compressor Fluid Chillers
Select a CWV Series chiller to meet your requirements for extremely high process or comfort cooling loads. These chillers feature refrigerant screw compressors, microchannel condensers, and shell & tube evaporators to provide 75 to 350 tons of cooling capacity. Screw compressors on the CWV Series operate quietly and with high efficiency, and are equipped with stepless capacity control, oil level sensor, and crankcase heater. The all-aluminum condensers are coupled with speed-regulated axial fans. The evaporator is instrumented with a temperature probe for freeze protection and a water differential pressure switch for low flow detection. Designed for demanding industrial applications, every CWV Series chiller is factory tested at full load conditions to ensure a smooth start-up.
