ENGIE Refrigeration launches SPECTRUM Water chiller

ENGIE Refrigeration is known to users around the world for its ability to innovate: the company redesigned its QUANTUM Water chiller in June 2021, launched its innovative SPECTRUM Water heat pump in March 2022, and will now release its innovative SPECTRUM Water chiller in October 2022. As Jochen Hornung, CEO of ENGIE Refrigeration, says: ‘We at ENGIE Refrigeration want to offer our customers cooling and heating solutions that are ahead of their time. This is reflected in our product portfolio, which meets the highest economic and ecological requirements and prepares users for the future. The new SPECTRUM Water chiller is a perfect addition to this portfolio. With its oil-free high-lift turbo compressor, the product is unique in its performance class.’ Thanks to its specific product properties, the SPECTRUM Water is perfect for use in the food and drink industry and in the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. This model can also provide maximum reliability and high energy efficiency for the climate chambers used in scientific environmental simulations, and for ice rink technology.

SPECTRUM Water chiller: perfect for process cooling applications

From October the SPECTRUM Water chiller will be available for order in six basic models, with technology based on the QUANTUM Water chiller – which is currently the most efficient water-cooled chiller series on the market and a poster child for ENGIE Refrigeration. Its oil-free machine design makes the water-cooled brine cooler unique in its capacity range and provides a key additional benefit to users, who benefit from lower maintenance costs and simultaneously protect the environment. The model offers a rated cooling capacity range of 170 to 1,100 kilowatts with chilled medium outlet temperatures of down to -10 degrees Celsius. And the chiller runs on the low-GWP refrigerant R-1234ze, which is rated as sustainable in terms of the F-gas Regulation; alternatively, it is available with the highly efficient and non-flammable A1 safety refrigerant R-515B. In addition, the SPECTRUM Water features a Siemens S7 PLC as its central control instrument and an accurate PID controller for top control quality. It has oil-free turbo compressors with magnetic bearings, flooded tube bundle heat exchangers, and an open-flash economizer integrated as standard, all of which contribute to excellent efficiency values in cooling mode. Furthermore, users can operate the SPECTRUM Water as a brine/water heat pump, for example in combination with ice storage systems, near-surface geothermal energy or air-pressurised hybrid coolers as a heat source. In this case, the machine produces rated thermal outputs of between 170 and 1,060 kilowatts at cooling medium temperatures of up to 50 degrees Celsius, which makes it perfect for all types of low-temperature comfort heating applications.
