Modular Water-Cooled Fluid Chillers

MWC Series chillers are water-cooled 10-ton modules; up to 5 units can be configured in a parallel arrangement to provide increased cooling capacity. The modules are available in two versions:

  • Single compressor version with hot gas bypass valve for tight temperature control
  • Dual compressor version for energy savings

The compact size allows each unit to fit comfortably through doorways, making installation possible in locations that would be inaccessible with a single, large chiller. Both the condenser and evaporator are stainless steel brazed plate heat exchangers, with a water (condensing) control valve available as an option. Single units can be equipped with an internal condenser pump and or evaporator pump as an option. Multiple units are managed by a master controller.

  • 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
  • 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 or pump motor protector tripped
    • Temperature probe or pressure sensor failure
