LCW - LCR
General Description
The Series
The LCW series of water-condensing chillers includes a range of models capable of satisfying every
need.
Water-condensing units – cooling only – of [ 53.9 - 296 kW ]
Heat pump reversible water-condensing units of [ 53 - 290 kW ]
Motor-driven evaporative units – cooling only – of [ 46.2 –257.3 kW ]
Structure
All LCW units have a galvanised sheet steel supporting base, coated with epoxy polyester powder paint
oven cured at 180°C and enclosing panels made of aluminium and magnesium alloy 5005 (Peraluman).
The unit features an exclusive design which lends it an attractive appearance as well as ensuring that all
components will be completely inaccessible when the unit is closed. This characteristic, together with the
extensive use of soundproofing material inside the compartment – an optional feature of low-noise
models – reduces noise to exceptionally low levels [Lp < 66 dB-A at 1 metre]. The plumbing/cooling
connections are situated at the top to reduce the technical spaces required for installation. All panels are
removable, thus enabling complete access to all chiller components, though only access from the front is
required for routine servicing.
Field of Application
The LCW units are designed to cool-heat water and solutions containing up to 30% glycol (percentage by
weight) in civil, industrial and technological air-conditioning systems. In buildings with large surface areas,
the air conditioning system can be expanded step by step as new floors or areas are sold/leased, by
installing an LCW unit for every floor in a small control room. This allows you to spread your investment
over time.. The possibility of keeping the evaporator indoors means there is no need to add glycol to the
water inside the system. In addition, you can keep all components requiring routine or special
maintenance in an easily accessible room. The plusses offered by these products are summed up in the
following table:
LCWC LCWH water-condensing units
o
Occupies an extremely small surface area
o
No need to add glycol to the water in the user circuit
o
High COP [Coefficient of Performance] of the thermodynamical cycle
o
No noise outside
o
Extremely small refrigerant charge.
o
Innovative aesthetics and total safety, given that the chillers are completely enclosed
o
Option of installing an outdoor dry cooler where it is not possible to use a non-
recirculating water supply to cool the condenser
o
Heat pump version with cycle reversibility at the cooling side
o
Condensing control option on the heat pump versions possible
