Reliable in operation, these compressors are housed in a dedicated, sound insulated compartment, ensuring low noise levels and reduced vibration.
Each chiller also incorporates special plate type evaporators with two refrigerant circuits and one water circuit in a design that improves energy efficiency, especially at partial loads.
Chiller operation is managed by an intuitive, multi-functional microprocessor controller, which automatically regulates fan speed to optimize efficiency and maintain constant condensing temperatures in ambient conditions down to -10 deg C.
Powercool chillers are compact in size and available with a choice of options to suit particular application requirements.
They can be supplied with or without an integral circulating pump and high capacity buffer tank, or with a pump only.
Dual pump options are also provided for run and standby operation if required, whilst non ferrous pumps, tanks and pipework are available for clean water applications.
The chiller's design also makes maintenance quick and easy.
Dual access doors into the technical compartment give engineers fast and simple access to components for routine inspection, service and maintenance.
The air cooled condensers are also fitted with washable metallic filters to ease the cleaning process.
The performance of the Powercool series is verified by testing carried out in the new Rhoss Laboratory.
This new facility is one of only two in Europe, capable of operating chillers at their full capacity up to 1500kW, and has recently been officially endorsed by Eurovent to carry out certification tests.
Rhoss is one of Italy's largest manufacturers of water chillers, ranging in capacities from 3kW to 1500kW, and also produces a comprehensive selection of associated cooling and airside equipment.
All Rhoss spa products comply fully with the latest European legislation and standards.
All Coolmation equipment available to UK customers is designed for high reliability and manufactured to internationally recognised quality standards.
