Swegon Teal16.2ST Air cooled water chiller

• Industrial process cooling for manufacturing operations.
• HVAC systems in commercial or industrial buildings.
• Temperature control for food and beverage production facilities.
• Cooling for data centres or server rooms.
• Pharmaceutical production and laboratory climate control.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, capacities commonly range from 15 kW to 20 kW, depending on the specific model variant and operating conditions.

Refrigerant type

This unit uses R401A, a blend refrigerant. Buyers should note that R401A is an HCFC and its use is subject to F-Gas regulations, with phase-out implications.

Cooling method

Air-cooled, meaning it rejects heat directly to the ambient air via finned coils and fans.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz electrical supply.

Compressor type

Commonly features scroll compressors for efficiency and reliability in this capacity range.

Footprint

Air-cooled chillers of this capacity typically have a moderate outdoor footprint, requiring adequate space for airflow around the condenser coils.

• What are the main advantages of an air-cooled chiller?

  Air-cooled chillers are generally simpler to install and maintain as they do not require a separate cooling tower or condenser water loop. They are suitable for applications where water availability is limited or water conservation is a priority.

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

• Can this chiller be used indoors?

• What are the considerations regarding R401A refrigerant?

• What factors affect the actual cooling capacity of the unit?

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.
