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.
