TICA Water-Cooled Scroll Chiller (Heat Pump) – TWS Series

Description

The TICA Water-Cooled Scroll Chiller (Heat Pump) – TWS Series is a next-generation modular chilled water system engineered to provide dependable cooling and heating for commercial, institutional, and industrial facilities. It combines high-efficiency hermetic scroll compressors, premium shell-and-tube heat exchangers, intelligent electronic controls, and environmentally friendly R410A refrigerant to achieve outstanding energy efficiency, quiet operation, and long-term reliability.

The series is available in three primary configurations to meet a wide variety of project requirements:

  • Cooling-Only

  • Water Source Heat Pump

  • Geothermal Heat Pump


Modular Design & Scalability

The modular architecture provides exceptional flexibility during system planning, structural placement, and future facility expansion:

  • Flexible Expansion: Three standard module sizes—20 RT, 30 RT, and 40 RT—can be installed individually or combined into systems of up to 12 interconnected modules.

  • Scalable Capacities: Delivers total capacities ranging from 20 RT to 480 RT, allowing building owners to expand cooling capacity incrementally as building demand increases.

  • Simplified Logistics: Eases transportation, installation, maintenance, and future upgrades.

  • Space Optimization: The compact footprint eliminates the need for a dedicated equipment room in many installations, facilitating easy rooftop or restricted mechanical room placement.


Core Technology & Thermal Engineering

1. Reliable Hermetic Compressors

  • Dual Configuration: Each module incorporates two high-performance hermetic scroll compressors from internationally recognized manufacturers.

  • Part-Load Efficiency: Features low vibration, high operating efficiency, and multi-stage capacity control, enabling excellent energy savings during partial-load operation.

  • Intelligent Load Balancing: Balancing technology evenly distributes operating hours between compressors, reducing wear, extending service life, and lowering maintenance costs.

2. Advanced Heat Exchange & Thermodynamics

  • Premium Heat Exchangers: Utilizes high-efficiency shell-and-tube evaporators and condensers.

  • Enhanced Heat Transfer: Equipped with internally grooved copper tubes that increase the effective heat transfer area while reducing temperature differences.

  • Precision Control: Premium Electronic Expansion Valves (EXV) and high-quality refrigeration components ensure stable refrigerant flow and efficient operation across changing loads.

  • Eco-Friendly: Standardizes on R410A refrigerant, a chlorine-free option with zero ozone depletion potential.


Intelligent Control & Comprehensive Safety

Microcomputer Control System

An advanced microcomputer control system provides intelligent monitoring and precise system management via a user-friendly interface:

  • Supports cooling/heating modes, programmable schedules, and real-time operating data logs.

  • Tracks historical fault records and manages automated temperature regulation, remote start/stop, and multi-unit group controls.

  • Enables standard communication capabilities for seamless integration with Building Automation Systems (BAS) for centralized plant management.

17 Built-In Protection Functions

To maximize operational safety and minimize downtime, the system incorporates 17 comprehensive protection safeguards, including:

  • Compressor overload and high/low refrigerant pressure monitoring

  • Phase sequence verification and discharge temperature protection

  • Anti-freezing protection and automatic fault reset functions

  • Communication fault detection and automatic loading/unloading control
