Low charge ammonia air-cooled chillers with microchannel condenser.

Author(s) : ALOISIO F., DEL GOBBO G.

Summary

This paper shows a case of study for the methods and solution to reduce ammonia charge in an air cooled chiller for air-conditioning application (water 11°C/6°C) till 900 kW of cooling capacity, having at the same time high efficiency, for air ambient condition from -20 to +45°C. Aluminium microchannel condenser and flooded evaporator are used to achieve this result. To optimize the performance in part-load condition, screw and reciprocating compressors used have variable speed control while fans for condensation are operated by permanent magnets motors equipped with VFD.
