Accuchiller TCF Series Central Chiller, Single circuit 100 ton
Description
Thermal Care now offers the new TCF Central Chiller which combines the efficiencies of both a hybrid film evaporator and a Turbocor variable speed centrifugal compressor to deliver optimum full and part load efficiencies. The result is one of the most energy-efficient central chillers ever built.
TCF Series Central Chiller Features
- Water-cooled single circuit model
- Advanced PLC System maintains stable and reliable operation of the chiller
- Hybrid film evaporator for the most efficient heat transfer
- Direct-drive variable-speed Turbocor centrifugal compressor technology continuously adjusts speed to match load and reduce operating costs
- C-UL 508A listed and labeled industrial control panel
- Rotary circuit breaker for compressor
- Single point connection for electrical hookup at control cabinet
- Only one major moving part - the compressor impeller which is used to compress gas and provides the highest full load efficiency and less energy use.
- Modular expansion to over 600 tons using up to six chillers.
- TC Series Chillers come standard with Dynamic Lift technology
Integrated Variable Speed Drive Motor Control
- Enhances temperature control capability for partial load performance.
- Soft-start control reduces peak energy demand and extends motor life by lowering initial current inrush at start-up
- Lowest noise level; whisper quiet sound levels with 74 dBA and virtually no structure-born vibration
Oil-Free Operation
- Eliminates oil management system and all related maintenance costs
- No potential oil contamination of refrigerant
- No compressor failure due to oil contamination
- Lower energy required can save up to 40% in annual operating costs when compared to screw-type compressor
Integrated PLC Control
- Adaptive control maximizes operational performance
- Provides extensive sensing capabilities and monitors compressor bearing and shaft positions six million times per minute
- Communications package allows for remote diagnostics of the chiller
- Built-in 24 VDC control circuitry
Magnetic “Friction-Free” Bearings
- Equipment life is extended since there is no contact with surfaces as the shaft rotates
- Compressor senses a power failure as a normal shutdown. Internal capacitors and rotational energy allow the motor to become a generator and provide a fail-safe shutdown.
- Compressor shaft rests on a graphite-lined touchdown bearing when not in operation
