Trane launches new air-cooled scroll chiller

The Aquastream 3G chiller from Trane

A new air-cooled scroll chiller is being introduced into the market by Trane. Aquastream3G comes with a Eurovent certification and a Class A energy-efficiency rating.

This new chiller achieves an average Energy Efficiency Ratio (EER) of 3.15. At part load, the chiller delivers a European Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio (ESEER) that is 10% higher than what is available currently on the market.

Sound reduction is also substantial. The 60-470 kW system delivers a 5-8 db(A) reduction compared with previous models. This allows building owners to apply a standard unit in situations that in the past would have required additional sound attenuation. In addition, the new chiller uses environment-friendly R410A refrigerant.

“Until now, customers faced a trade-off between a chiller with a quieter fan that produces less air flow, or vice versa,” said Pierre Cazal, vice-president for Trane Commercial Systems.

The Aquastream3G unit is a global design produced in Trane facilities around the world. In Europe, the new air-cooled scroll chiller will be produced by Trane’s plant in Charmes, France. The first units shipped in early September.
