1. Range Overview

1.1. RTAC range

Before explaining the different options and accessories available, let’s first take a look at the current range and review the definition of the RTAC chiller. RTAC family covers a cooling capacity range from 400 kW to 1500 kW. The numbers above the circles define the unit size. Units in Phase 1 have a range from 400 kW to 750 kW which contain 7 sizes ( except for RTAC Standard Efficiency ). Units in Phase 2 have a range between 850 kW and 1500 kW which contain 6 sizes ( except for RTAC Standard Efficiency ). All units have 2 circuits and installed with 2 compressors for units in Phase 1 and 3 or 4 compressors for units in Phase 2. RTAC Xtra Efficiency is the latest version of the unit which meets class A efficiency in all range (EER > 3.1).

8. Condenser Temperature Range digit 17

To choose the unit configuration, refer to operating map.

8.1. Standard digit 17 = N

Standard efficiency standard ambient units : 7°C <= Air temperature <= 40°C High efficiency standard ambient units: 7°C <= Air temperature <= 46°C

For Standard ambient electrical components are designed to resist up to 70°C in the electrical panel.

8.2. High ambient digit 17 = H

Standard efficiency high ambient: 7°C <= Air temperature <= 46°C High efficiency high ambient: 7°C <= Air temperature <= 52°C The difference between standard and high ambient units are: Power wires are oversized to resist up to 55°C.

8.3. Low ambient digit 17 = L

Standard efficiency low ambient units: -18°C <= Air temperature <= 40°C High efficiency low ambient units: -18°C <= Air temperature <= 46°C For RTAC chillers running in low ambient, we add a speed inverter on one fan per circuit to control the condensing pressure. This fan is able to run between 10% and 100%. So the air flow is adapted in function of the condensing pressure.

8.4. Wide ambient digit 17 = W

Standard efficiency wide ambient units: -18°C <= Air temperature <= 46°C High efficiency wide ambient units: -18°C <= Air temperature <= 52°C We combine features of High and low ambient, so the units can work on both ranges.
