Features & Benefits
Overview
- Reduces initial refrigerant charge by 60-90% as well as required oil charge.
- Reduces refrigerant leakage rates due to refrigerant pipe reduction.
- Significant reduction in costs associated with refrigerant leaks.
Simplified Installation and Maintenance
- Allows the use of alternative piping materials, such as ABS, Victaulic and water-grade copper for installation savings.
- Eliminates the use of thermal expansion valves and EPR valves.
- No high-pressure leak testing or evacuation required in secondary piping.
- Eliminates oil return issues and costly refrigeration practices like traps and risers.
- Eliminates need for leak detection in walk-ins as required by many building codes.
- Extends compressor life by eliminating excessive liquid flood-back common with direct expansion systems.
- Low-pressure system is less prone to leaks, minimizing a major maintenance issue.
- Simplified and centrally located primary system provides easier maintenance.
Energy and Performance
- Can use a variety of primary refrigerants to optimize environmental and energy performance.
- Evaporator close-coupled with compressor system eliminates refrigerant, suction line pressure drop and higher suction superheat typical in direct expansion systems.
- Compressor unit operates with low return gas temperatures resulting in system efficiency improvement.
- Eliminates inefficiencies associated with improper setting of thermostatic expansion valves.
- Variable-speed pumping reduces energy on pumps and compressor system during reduced load conditions.
- Electronic expansion valves on chiller heat exchangers, along with short liquid lines, allow you to take full advantage of lower head pressures.
Contractors, companies, and consultants now have a proven alternative.
From the lab to market to industry.
Hillphoenix introduced refrigeration systems based upon the use of alternative refrigerants in the mid-1990s. The move away from traditional HFC systems toward alternative refrigerants and increased energy effi ciency has been a resounding success: from 1996 to date, over 2 billion pounds of harmful emissions have been removed from the atmosphere.
Who else but Hillphoenix?
Food and beverage customers need everything from food production and processing to warehousing and distribution. Pharmaceutical companies have extremely critical requirements for safely processing and storing their products. Even recreational outlets from rinks to arenas have their own, specifi c needs to maintain the integrity of their ice.
All Hillphoenix customers enjoy long-lasting products that can deliver the best ROI, minimize their global carbon imprint, reduce costs related to process safety managment around using hazardous materials, lower maintenance and installation costs, and keep their cold chain intact.
The Second Nature Industrial Chiller.
The highly individualized demands of the industrial marketplace are a perfect fi t for the Second Nature Industrial Chiller. Because it is designed to operate on a variety of sustainable, primary refrigerants, environmental safety and energy performance are optimized.
One key to the Industrial Chiller’s performance is how it’s designed, with a multiple array of compact chiller modules. Each one is a standalone refrigeration system with its own compressor, expansion valve and multi-channel heat exchanger (the heat exchanger is at once an evaporator, condenser, and sub-cooler) that runs on less refrigerant — from 60-90% less.
That modular design signifi cantly reduces leakage concerns and the costs associated with them. Easier to install and maintain (alternative piping materials such as ABS, Victaulic, and watergrade copper are all doable options), low-pressure operation, superior performance and overall savings in refrigerant, materials, maintenance and labor make the Second Nature Industrial Chiller the answer for a wide variety of industrial applications performance-wise and cost-wise.
