ENGIE Refrigeration is expanding its product portfolio: today with the international release of the new SPECTRUM Water chiller.
It has an oil-free high-lift turbo compressor, use the sustainable refrigerant R-1234ze and has a rated refrigeration capacity of 170 to 1,100 kilowatts with chilled medium outlet temperatures reaching -10 degrees Celsius.
This makes this water-cooled brine cooler unique in its capacity range. The cooling and heating specialist from Lindau on Lake Constance will present this innovative model for the first time at the Chillventa trade fair, which will take place next month.
ENGIE Refrigeration is known to users around the world for its ability to innovate: the company redesigned its QUANTUM Water chiller in June 2021, launched its innovative SPECTRUM Water heat pump in March 2022, and will now release its SPECTRUM Water chiller in October 2022.
ENGIE Refrigeration CEO, Jochen Hornung, CEO of ENGIE Refrigeration, said that thanks to its specific product properties, the SPECTRUM Water is perfect for use in the food and drink industry and in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries.
“This model can also provide maximum reliability and high energy efficiency for the climate chambers used in scientific environmental simulations, and for ice rink technology,” he said.
The chiller is also available with non-flammable A1 safety refrigerant R-515B. In addition, the SPECTRUM Water features a Siemens S7 PLC as its central control instrument and an accurate PID controller for top control quality.
It has oil-free turbo compressors with magnetic bearings, flooded tube bundle heat exchangers, and an open-flash economizer integrated as standard, all of which contribute to excellent efficiency values in cooling mode.
Furthermore, users can operate the SPECTRUM Water as a brine/water heat pump, for example in combination with ice storage systems, near-surface geothermal energy or air-pressurised hybrid coolers as a heat source.
In this case, the machine produces rated thermal outputs of between 170 and 1,060 kilowatts at cooling medium temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius, which makes it perfect for all types of low-temperature comfort heating applications.
