Costs less right from the start

Only Carrier’s AquaSnap

 

chillers fea-

ture a compact, all-in-one package de-
sign that installs quickly and easily on 
the ground or the rooftop. The option-
al pump and hydronic components are
already built in; this costs less than buy-
ing and installing the components indi-
vidually. The chiller’s fully integrated 
and pre-assembled hydronic system in-
stalls in minutes. No other chiller in 
this class installs so easily and inexpen-
sively. The preassembled and integrat-
ed hydronic module utilizes top-quality 
components and pumps to ensure 
years of reliable operation. Use of the 
optional fluid storage tank reduces in-
stallation costs and ensures sufficient 
fluid volume is available for close-cou-
pled and process cooling applications. 
The AquaSnap unit’s high efficiency 
keeps costs down.
