Trane introduces new water cooled, helical rotary chilled water system to UAE

The RTWD chiller is the first in a series of new product launches for 2009.

Model RTWD ranges in size from 70 to 150 tons and is designed to reduce the total cost of ownership while still being able to operate over a wide range of conditions with day-in, day-out reliability.

Because its compact size, it fits into most existing mechanical rooms without requiring additional floor space or wall tear-outs. That makes system replacement faster, less expensive and less disruptive.

And with steadily rising energy prices, the operation of a chilled water system can amount to over 90% of the total lifetime cost of the system. It minimizes these expenses with an industry-leading efficiency level of 0.68kW/ton at ASHRAE conditions.

RTWD offers additional energy-saving capabilities for owners who require hot water in their buildings. By utilizing the condenser heat from the chilled water system to heat potable water, swimming pools or laundry services, schools and hotels can further lower their operating costs.

RTWD has a chilled-water system designed to keep production and revenue flowing with precise temperature control and reliable operation. The chiller delivers such stable water temperature that it can eliminate the need for expensive buffer tanks. The dual-compressor design also provides redundancy within a single unit to reliable satisfy even the most critical operations.

When it comes to chiller plant control, Trane understands that everyone's needs are different. That's why RTWD has time-of-day scheduling incorporated directly into the Tracer CH530 control panel. Users can schedule up to ten 'time of day or days of the week' events, directly on the chiller without having to install a full building automation system.
