The TICA Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller Series represents TICA’s flagship chilled water solution for large-scale HVAC applications where maximum efficiency, dependable operation, and low life-cycle cost are essential.
Designed for high-rise buildings, hospitals, airports, industrial facilities, district cooling plants, and other mission-critical environments, the product family includes two primary configurations to meet a wide variety of project requirements:
TWMF Series: Oil-Free Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller
TWCF Series: Conventional Water-Cooled Centrifugal Chiller
Oil-Free Design: Utilizes advanced magnetic bearing technology that completely eliminates mechanical contact between rotating components.
Efficiency Gains: Without oil lubrication, the compressor experiences virtually no mechanical friction, significantly reducing energy losses while eliminating oil contamination inside the refrigerant circuit.
Performance: Enhances heat transfer efficiency, minimizes maintenance requirements, extends compressor life, and delivers outstanding Integrated Part Load Value (IPLV) performance.
Load Optimization: Variable-speed drive technology further optimizes compressor operation across changing building loads, making the system exceptionally efficient under part-load conditions.
Advanced Compressor Technology: Employs high-efficiency centrifugal compressors with advanced aerodynamic impeller design, enclosed refrigerant-cooled motors, and pre-rotation guide vane technology.
Stepless Modulation: Provides stepless capacity modulation from 10% to 100%, enabling the system to precisely match building cooling demand while minimizing electrical consumption.
Optional Enhancements: Can be equipped with an optional Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) for enhanced part-load efficiency.
Both product lines incorporate state-of-the-art thermal engineering and refrigeration technologies:
Advanced Heat Exchangers: High-efficiency flooded evaporators combined with enhanced condenser designs featuring integrated subcooling.
Superior Thermal Performance: Internally and externally enhanced copper heat transfer tubes optimize heat exchange.
Precision Management: Precision Electronic Expansion Valves (EXV) ensure exact refrigerant control.
Economizer Technology: Selected centrifugal models feature optional two-stage Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) compression to improve cooling capacity, reduce compressor power consumption, and boost system efficiency during both full-load and part-load operations.
Eco-Friendly Refrigerant: Utilizes R134a refrigerant, which contains no chlorine, has zero ozone depletion potential, supports environmentally responsible building design, and reduces carbon emissions.
For seamless system management, the chillers feature an industrial-grade microprocessor controller paired with a 15-inch HD touchscreen interface.
Smart Analytics: Features predictive forward-looking control algorithms, automatic diagnostics, real-time performance monitoring, and comprehensive protection functions.
System Integration: Native RS485 Modbus RTU communication allows seamless integration with Building Automation Systems (BAS) for centralized monitoring, remote operation, and multi-unit sequencing.
Plant Optimization: Optional group control systems further improve efficiency by coordinating multiple chillers, pumps, and cooling towers as a single integrated plant.
Simplified Field Set-up: Units feature a compact footprint, integrated flanged water connections, insulated components, low-vibration operation, and come factory charged with refrigerant.
Versatile HVAC Applications: Fully supports variable-flow systems, large temperature difference chilled water systems, ice storage systems, and district cooling networks.
