Scroll Compressors

Scroll compressors operate by using two interleaved spiral scrolls, one stationary and one orbiting, to compress refrigerant gas. As the orbiting scroll moves, it traps and compresses the refrigerant, gradually increasing its pressure as it moves toward the centre of the scrolls. This method ensures smooth and efficient compression with minimal friction.

Scroll compressors provide several advantages. These compressors offer high energy efficiency, particularly at part-load conditions, which translates into lower energy bills and reduced operational costs. They are also known for their reliability, with fewer moving parts leading to less wear and tear, reducing maintenance needs and increasing system longevity. Additionally, scroll compressors operate quietly and with minimal vibration.

Scroll chillers are applicable across various industries. They are ideal for residential and commercial HVAC systems, providing efficient cooling for homes, office buildings, shopping centres, and hospitals. In the industrial sector, scroll chillers are used for precise temperature control in manufacturing processes, chemical plants, and refineries. They are also suitable for large-scale refrigeration applications, such as food processing and cold storage facilities.

Modular and Scalable

For applications requiring a broader range of capacity or greater scalability, scroll compressor chillers can accommodate multiple modules. These modules can be individually controlled and adjusted based on the cooling load, providing a more precise response to the cooling requirements of a building or process. This not only optimises energy use but also can extend the lifespan of the equipment by avoiding short-cycling and reducing wear and tear on the compressors.

While scroll chillers offer a level of scalability, the extent to which they can be scaled up depends on the specific design and configuration of the chiller system. For very large or industrial-scale applications, other types of chillers, such as those with screw or centrifugal compressors, might be more traditionally used due to their higher capacity ranges. However, for many commercial and some industrial applications, the scalability of scroll compressor chillers provides a highly efficient and flexible cooling solution.

If greater expansion of the building and chiller requirements are in your interest, Cooltherm will design a solution that can be expanded upon with our Consultancy Service. 

V-Range Chillers

The V-Range collection showcases chillers equipped with scroll and reciprocating compressors, renowned for their reliability and longevity, leading to significant reductions in both management and maintenance costs. These units are compact and lightweight, making them ideal for smaller setups. With minimal vibration and low noise levels, they're perfect for both industrial uses and comfort cooling in residential areas.

A key innovation in this range, particularly with scroll compressors using R410A, is the ability to integrate multiple compressors into a single unit. Typically, these chillers offer capacities ranging from 3 to 50 kW, but thanks to this innovative approach, it's possible to create units with much higher capacities, reaching hundreds of kW. This advancement expands the V-Range's applicability from small-scale installations to larger facilities.

V-Range also includes two distinct product lines, differentiated by their refrigerant types: the energy-efficient Energymiser line and the environmentally friendly Greenmiser line, catering to diverse needs and preferences. Both lines highlight a commitment to innovation, energy conservation, and ecological responsibility. Cooltherm aim to provide clients access to solutions that align both with their operational requirements and sustainability goals.
