Carrier launches Evergreen 19XRD with non-ozone depleting refrigerant

Carrier Corp. is a unit of United Technologies Corp. (NYSE:UTX). The company has numerous subsidiaries in the Middle East, including Carrier Middle East Limited and UTS Carrier in the UAE.

Unveiled recently in the market, the energy-efficient Evergreen 19XRD chiller uses non-ozone depleting refrigerant HFC-134a.

Aftab Khan, Carrier Director for the Middle East, said:

"The HVAC market in the Middle East is shifting toward sustainable products and processes. As a company that has actively integrated environmental sustainability into its culture, Carrier is well-positioned to serve the region's varying needs."

Carrier pioneered the global phase-out of ozone depleting refrigerants as early as 1994, well ahead of deadlines stated by the Montreal Protocol.

"Evergreen 19XRD chiller is one of the environmentally responsible products that Carrier will launch in the Middle East," said Javed Arshad, General Manager, UTS Carrier.

With a capacity of 3000 refrigeration ton (RT), the Evergreen 19XRD is the only chiller offering dual configuration — modular and integral — for easy delivery and installation. The Evergreen chiller is well-suited for district cooling plants, as well as large airports, shopping malls, commercial complexes and factories.

"Major district cooling companies have seen the unit's design and given us extremely positive feedback," Arshad added.

The Evergreen 19XRD is designed with dual independent refrigerant circuits. It features low inrush currents without the use of expensive starting equipment. The unit is offered with Carrier's full two-year protection plan, which includes parts, labor and emergency breakdown services.
