What is a Trane CenTraVac?

CenTraVac® Water-Cooled Chiller Trane CenTraVac® chillers feature a time-tested and proven low-pressure design utilizing environmentally friendly refrigerants R-514A and R-1233zd. They provide the safety of low pressure with continued product enhancements in a leak-tight design.

How does a Trane CenTraVac chiller work?

The CenTraVac™ chiller has only one primary moving part—a single rotating shaft supported by two bearings. This direct drive concept minimizes the chance of failure by reducing the number of critical parts—no gear boxes, couplings, extra shafts, or shaft seals.

What is a marine water box?

Marine Waterbox The Marine Water box option makes it easy to clean the copper pipes of the heat exchanger without disconnecting the water pipes. Marine Water boxes are available for both condenser and evaporator. The factory offers by standard groove type water pipe connections.

What is a screw chiller?

Screw Chiller A screw chiller is a liquid chiller that uses two rotating helical screws to provide the needed pressure to drive the vapor-compression refrigeration process. Screw chillers are more compact, quieter and contain fewer parts than their alternatives: reciprocating, centrifugal and absorption chillers.

What is a centrifugal chiller?

A centrifugal chiller uses the vapor compression cycle to chill water. It throws off the heat collected from the chilled water plus the heat from the compressor to a water loop. The water loop is cooled by a cooling tower. Centrifugal chillers are popular because they have relatively few moving parts.

Who owns YORK chillers?

What is the purpose of a marine water box on chiller?

Water boxes are mounted to the evaporators and also the condensers of water cooled chillers. The purpose of the water box is to direct flow as well as as to segregate the entrance and exit.

What are the two types of chiller?

The two main types of chillers are vapor compression chillers and vapor absorption chillers.

Which refrigerant is used in chillers?

R717 Ammonia This is the most popular refrigerant used in chiller plants. It has the highest heat absorption rating which makes it ideal for use in smaller, portable chiller units negating the need for large cooling plants. Other benefits of using ammonia as chiller refrigerant are its stable thermal properties.
