Ciat launches high-efficiency chiller

Ciat’s PowerCiat2 water chiller for cooling capacities from 610 to 1350 kW is now available in a high-energy-efficiency version. The HEE version is on average 10% more efficient than the standard model, thanks to latest-generation components, the integration of a micro-channel coil and Ciat’s new high-efficiency evaporator.

These chillers have a Class A energy rating, an average EER of 3.15 and an average ESEER of 4.1.

Applications include air conditioning for larger buildings such as hotels, offices and shopping centres.

These chillers use R134a and achieve 7 kg of cooling per kilogram of refrigerant.
