Features/Benefits (cont)
Easy installation
The AquaForce® 30XW screw chillers
are shipped with starter and unit
mounted flow switch installed and can
be shipped with a full R-134a refrigerant charge to minimize installation
time. The unit provides single point
power connection (using optional control power transformer) and quick, easy
piping connections (using Victaulictype clamp on couplings). The 30XW
200-v, 230-v, 460-v, and 575-v units
are designed in accordance with UL
(Underwriters Laboratory) and UL
Canada (Underwriters Laboratory,
Canada) standards to minimize electrical inspection time.
Dual circuits
Dual independent refrigerant circuits
provide reliable, dependable cooling,
excellent part load operation, and
redundancy. Each circuit includes its
own compressor, electronic expansion
valve, filter drier, and sight glass to
assure operation.
High efficiency
The Aquaforce 30XW screw chiller
efficiency levels meet or exceed energy
efficiency requirements of ASHRAE
(American Society of Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning Engineers)
90.1 2007 and CSA (Canadian Standards Association) for both full load and
part load operation and is certified to
AHRI standards.
Per AHRI 550/590, chillers operate at
design conditions less than one percent
of the time. As a result, superior part
load efficiency is required for today's
chilled water applications. The 30XW
chillers deliver integrated part-load
values (IPLV) as low as 0.468 kW per
ton at AHRI conditions while offering
the ability to operate in a broad range
of applications and climates. This
exceptional performance has a significant impact on energy savings and cost
of ownership.
Heat recovery
The Aquaforce 30XW screw chiller
provides up to 140 F (60 C) leaving
condenser water (requires 300 psig
[2068 kPa] condenser option) when
applied in heat recovery applications.
Further, the 30XW unit heat control
mode can be utilized to maintain a constant leaving condenser water temperature. Low source controls provide
evaporator suction protection to prevent nuisance trips when operating in
heat recovery applications. This flexible capability allows a chiller to meet
both cooling and heating requirements
providing a high level of interchangeability within a chilled water plant.
Environmental leadership
Carrier has long been committed to the
environment and its sustainability. The
Aquaforce 30XW screw chiller provides customers with a high-efficiency,
chlorine free, long-term solution unaffected by refrigerant phase outs.
Carrier's decision to utilize non-ozone
depleting R-134a refrigerant provides
customers with a safe and environmentally sound choice without compromising efficiency. In addition, R-134a
refrigerant was given an A1 safety rating by ASHRAE, meaning that it is
among the safest refrigerants available.
Positive displacement compression
ensures stable operation under all load
conditions without the possibility of
compressor surge. High-efficiency
rotary twin screw compressors with
infinitely variable slide valves allow the
chillers to exactly match actual load
conditions, delivering excellent part
load performance.
Factory testing
A quick start-up is assured once installation is complete, since each 30XW
unit is manufactured at an ISO (International Organization for Standardization) 9001:2000 listed manufacturing
facility to ensure quality. In addition, all
30XW units that are shipped with a full
charge of R-134a refrigerant are tested
under load at the factory to provide
reliable start-up.
Low starting current (inrush)
Dual circuit units stage the start up of
the compressors thereby reducing the
over all current draw by up to 40%.
Constant or variable evaporator flow
Aquaforce 30XW screw chillers are
suitable for constant or variable evaporator flow.
Hermetic motor
The Aquaforce 30XW chiller utilizes
motors that are hermetically sealed
from the machine room. Refrigerant is
used to cool the motor windings.
Carrier's hermetic design eliminates:
• Compressor shaft seals that require
maintenance and increase the likelihood of refrigerant leaks.
• Machine room cooling requirements
associated with air-cooled motors,
which dissipate heat to the mechanical room.
• High noise levels common with aircooled motors, which radiate noise
to the machine room and adjacent
areas.
• Shaft alignment problems that occur
with open-drive designs during startup and operation, when equipment
temperature variations cause thermal expansion.
Positive pressure design
Positive pressure designs eliminate the
need for costly low pressure containment devices, reducing the initial cost
2
of the system. The AquaForce® 30XW
chiller's positive pressure design
ensures that air, moisture and other
performance degrading contaminants
are not sucked inside the chiller. Purge
units and their associated maintenance
are no longer necessary.
Refrigerant isolation valves
The refrigerant isolation valves enable
service personnel to store the refrigerant charge in the evaporator or condenser during servicing. These valves
also allow the refrigerant to be stored
inside the chiller during shipment from
the factory minimizing start-up time.
During servicing, the in-chiller storage
reduces refrigerant loss and eliminates
time-consuming transfer procedures.
As a self-contained unit, the AquaForce
30XW chiller does not require additional remote storage systems.
Optional suction service valves
The optional suction service valves
allow for further isolation of the compressor from the evaporator vessel.
Marine container shipment
The compact design allows for container shipment to export destinations,
ensuring quality while reducing shipping cost.
Heat exchangers
The Aquaforce 30XW chillers utilize
mechanically cleanable shell and tube
evaporators and condensers available
with a complete line of waterbox
options to meet project specific
requirements. One, two, and three
pass arrangements are available to
meet a wide variety of flow conditions.
Nozzle in head and marine waterboxes
are available to meet 150 psig
(1034 kPa) and 300 psig (2068 kPa)
piping requirements.
Heat exchanger features include:
ASME certified construction
An independent agency certifies the
design, manufacture, and testing of all
heat exchangers to American Society
of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) standards, ensuring heat exchanger safety,
reliability and long life. The ASME
U-stamp is applied to the refrigerant
side of the evaporator and condenser
and is applied to the water side of these
heat exchangers when 300 psig
(2068 kPa) marine waterboxes are
provided.
Electronic thermal-dispersion flow
switch
An electronic thermal-dispersion flow
switch switch is included with the evaporator. The switch is factory installed
and tested and contains no moving
parts for high reliability.
High performance tubing
Carrier's AquaForce chillers utilize
advances in heat transfer technology
providing compact, high-efficiency
heat exchangers. Tubing with
advanced internally and externally
enhanced geometry improves chiller
performance by reducing overall resistance to heat transfer while reducing
fouling.
Evaporator tube expansion
Evaporator tube expansion at center
support sheets prevents unwanted tube
movement and vibration, thereby
reducing the possibility of premature
tube failure. Tube wall thickness is
greater at the expansion location, support sheets, and end tube sheets, to
provide maximum strength and long
tube life.
Closely spaced intermediate support sheets
Support sheets prevent tube sagging
and vibration, thereby increasing heat
exchanger life.
Refrigerant filter isolation valves
These valves allow filter replacement
without pumping down the chiller,
reducing service time and expense.
Microprocessor controls
The AquaForce 30XW screw chiller
controls communicate in easy to understand English, making it as easy as possible to monitor and control each
chiller while maintaining fluid temperatures. Controls are available with
French, Portuguese and Spanish as
standard configuration options. These
controls result in higher chiller reliability, simplified training and correspondingly lower operational and
maintenance costs.
Two user interface options are available, the Touch Pilot™ display and the
Navigator™ module.
The Touch Pilot display is an easy to
use touch screen display that provides
simple navigation for configuration and
control of the 30XW units.
Carrier's exclusive handheld Navigator display provides convenience and
powerful information in the palm of
your hand. The Navigator display helps
technicians to quickly diagnose problems and even prevent them from
occurring.
All 30XW units are ready to be used
with Carrier Comfort Network
devices.
Controls features include:
Automatic capacity override
This function unloads the compressor
whenever key safety limits are
approached, increasing unit life.
Chilled liquid reset
Reset can be accomplished manually or
automatically from the building management system. For a given capacity,
reset allows operation at slower compressor speeds, saving energy when
warmer chilled liquid can be used.
Demand limiting
This feature limits the power draw of
the chiller during peak loading conditions. When incorporated into the
CCN building automation system, a red
line command holds chillers at their
present capacity and prevents any
other chillers from starting. If a load
shed signal is received, the compressors are unloaded to avoid demand
charges whenever possible.
Ramp loading
Ramp loading ensures smooth pulldown of liquid loop temperature and
prevents a rapid increase in compressor power consumption during the
pulldown period.
Automated controls test
The test can be executed prior to startup to verify that the entire control system is functioning properly.
365-day real time clock
This feature allows the operator to program a yearly schedule for each week,
weekends, and holidays.
Occupancy schedules
Schedules can be programmed into the
controller to ensure that the chiller
operates when cooling is required and
remains off when not needed by the
tenants or process.
