AN EXCEPTIONALLY ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER-COOLED CHILLER RANGE FEATURING OIL-FREE TURBOCOR COMPRESSORS WITH
ECONOMIZERS, FLOODED EVAPORATORS AND OFFERING A GREEN, LOW-GWP R1234ZE REFRIGERANT.

A vast range of Powerstream Turbo models and options provides flexibility, tailored precisely to the customer requirements allowing to design truly efficient cooling solutions for
every application. Powerstream Turbo has been designed for year-round mission-critical service. In a 24/7 world, keeping facilities up and running is critical, and we paid special
attention to control and monitoring functionality, as well as to operational reliability and ease of maintenance. Due to its excellent efficiency at part-load conditions, Powerstream
Turbo is an excellent economy solution for applications where the heat load is not constant and/or expected to grow. The synergy of modern technology, efficiency and reliability
enables Powerstream Turbo to be used in the most demanding applications.

Turbocor compressors offer the outstanding energy savings from digitally controlled, frictionless two-stage centrifugal compression and guarantees significant The control hub of Powerstream chillers is a sophisticated controller with advanced software developed for efficient operation of water-cooled
reductions in operating cost and environmental emissions associated with energy production. The oil-free design of Turbocor compressors eliminates the chillers. It manages and optimizes the chiller’s performance, giving the complete control over the system for plant operator.

the first-stage impeller raises the pressure of the refrigerant vapor halfway
from the suction pressure to the condenser pressure, and the second-stage
impeller raises the pressure the rest of the way. This allows using an

• EXCELLENT FOR PART LOAD CONDITIONS OPTIMIZED FOR HFC AND HFO REFRIGERANTS •
• OPTIMIZED FOR HFC AND HFO REFRIGERANTS HIGH PERFORMANCE •
• ALLOWS HIGH EVAPORATION TEMPERATURES EASY OF MAINTENANCE •

The design of the Powerstream Turbo evaporators provides optimum system efficiency at both full and partial load operation.
The tubes in flooded evaporator are fully immersed in liquid refrigerant and enable a smaller approach temperature between the refrigerant temperature in its shell
and chilled water temperature in the tubes to be achieved when compared to other types of evaporators. With flooded evaporator, the compressors operate at higher
saturated evaporation temperature and generate more cooling capacity with the same power input.
Powerstream Turbo features newly developed shell-and-tube condensers optimized for HFC and HFO refrigerants to provide the best efficiency. With high-perfor-
mance tubes, new baffle design and shell, these condensers provide maximum efficiency with a low cost per kW, as well as shorter lenght and reduced weight
compared with competing solutions. Water flow within condenser is optimized to reduce the fouling and erosion risks.
Standard are 2 pass condensers, 4 pass condensers available as an option.

The control software of Powerstream Turbo chiller maintains the level of refrigerant which is adequate for chilled water tubes to be constantly immersed in it, thus
utilizing the full potential of the flooded evaporator even at part load conditions.

Dry cooler selection
• MCHE/RTPF HEAT EXCHANGER SELECTION
• EVAPORATIVE PRE-COOLING OPTION
• OPTIMIZED FOR WATER-COOLED CHILLERS
• LOW SOUND EMISSION

We recommend using Bora or Mistral series dry coolers with Powerstream chillers. These dry
coolers are optimized for water-cooled chillers, offer high performance and enable low water
temperature difference.

Bora series is well-suited for urban locations due to their low sound emission, as well as for
high-polluted areas and coastal installation due to the high corrosion resistance of microchan-
nel heat exchangers used in the unit design. For the installations in hot climate zones, we
recommend Bora dry coolers with evaporative pads.

Mistral series dry coolers equipped with finned tube heat exchangers with internally grooved
copper tubes and are ideal for any kind of industrial and commercial applications.

Both dry cooler series feature low operating costs and superb efficiency.
