Swegon Teal16.2ST Air cooled water chiller

• Cooling process water for food and beverage production lines.
• Maintaining precise temperatures for fermentation or storage tanks.
• Providing chilled water for air conditioning systems in food processing facilities.
• Cooling machinery and equipment to prevent overheating during operation.

Typical cooling capacity

For this class of equipment, cooling capacities commonly range from 15 kW to 25 kW, depending on the specific model and operating conditions.

Refrigerant type

This unit uses R401A, a blend commonly found in older refrigeration systems. Buyers should be aware of its phase-out status and potential servicing implications.

Power supply

Air-cooled chillers of this capacity typically require a three-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V/3ph/50Hz in the UK.

Cooling method

As an air-cooled unit, it rejects heat directly to the ambient air, negating the need for a separate cooling tower.

Footprint

Units of this type are generally designed for outdoor installation due to their air-cooled condensers, requiring sufficient space for airflow.

• What is the significance of R401A refrigerant?

  R401A is an older refrigerant blend that has been largely phased out due to environmental regulations. While still serviceable, buyers should consider the long-term availability and cost of this refrigerant for future maintenance.

• Can this chiller be used indoors?

• What maintenance is typically required for an air-cooled chiller?

• What are the common applications for a chiller of this capacity?

• How does an air-cooled chiller differ from a water-cooled chiller?

Industrial chillers are valued for reliable temperature control in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise units with consistent cooling capacity and minimal maintenance history when purchasing used equipment. Key considerations include compressor condition, refrigerant type compatibility, and ease of spare parts availability. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Common strengths include energy efficiency improvements in newer models and adaptability to various production scales. Proper installation and routine servicing remain essential for long-term performance.
