Carrier is introducing an updated, more compact version of the award-winning AquaEdge 19MV water-cooled centrifugal chiller in North America, Asia and the Middle East.
The AquaEdge 19MV is available with low GWP refrigerant R-513A or R-515B and is designed to deliver reliable performance, incredible efficiency, easy installation and a wide operating range.
Now with capacity extension down to 150 tonnes (527.5kW) and a narrower footprint that is 18 per cent smaller than previous versions of the 19MV, the chiller combines best-in-segment efficiency for design and the ability to operate at severe conditions due to unexpected building operation or extreme weather.
“Our goal is to optimise building performance and resilience and the AquaEdge 19MV has once again proven that one doesn’t need to sacrifice footprint to achieve uncompromising performance and robust operation,” according to Scott McDonough, associate director, Global Product Management, Centrifugal Chillers, Carrier.
The updated AquaEdge 19MV leverages the same proven EquiDrive two-stage magnetic bearing compressor design to achieve best-in-segment performance while staying quiet and cool under pressure.
The compression technology provides an expanded operating range while improving chiller efficiency and building resiliency for specifying engineers, building owners and facility managers.
It also features a Greenspeed intelligence variable frequency drive that enables starting and operating with cold condenser water while providing enhanced performance at off-design conditions and a Carrier SmartVu control panel that provides intelligent control and easier tracking and analysis of operational data.
The use of lower GWP refrigerants supports Carrier’s 2030 Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Goals, including helping customers avoid more than 1 gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.
