Temperature control and energy efficiency needed
Year-round 26 to 27 C conditions for the chiller set (condensing sets) were needed to get an IPLV (Integral Part Load Variant) and equivalent COP of 7:1.
The Munters solution
Munters was asked by Dalkia to install an Evaporative Pre-cooler EPCC-75-TraneRTAC20 to their mounted air-cooled chiller unit. The unit fits onto conventional single and double-stage condensers and the roof-top DX unit (Trane RTAC 200). It pre-cools air entering the condenser system, which improves or equals condenser cooling performance with lower energy consumption. The pre-cooler has been designed as a natural addition to new air-cooled condenser system, lowering running costs, extending the condenser lifecycle and helping conserve energy, and the environment. It has provided a 30% increase in efficiency (COP), which is a great result for this prestigious project.
