R454B chillers represent the next generation of high-efficiency and high-performance cooling solutions, designed to meet the growing demand for environmentally responsible technologies. As an advanced refrigerant, R454B offers a low global warming potential (GWP), making it a superior choice for businesses seeking to reduce their environmental impact. With a global warming potential (GWP) significantly lower than traditional refrigerants, R454B helps protect the ozone layer and enhances reliability and seasonal efficiency.
These chillers are engineered to deliver optimal cooling performance across a variety of applications, ensuring that businesses can achieve their sustainability goals without compromising on quality or efficiency.
Applications and Use Cases
R454B chillers are suitable for a broad spectrum of applications, ranging from commercial cooling to industrial heat pump systems. Their high efficiency and reliability make them an ideal choice for facilities looking to upgrade their cooling infrastructure with a focus on reducing GWP. These units are particularly effective in settings where higher seasonal efficiency is critical, such as in large-scale commercial buildings, data centres, and industrial environments.
The versatility of R454B refrigerant allows it to be integrated into both new systems and as a replacement for existing systems, offering flexibility in deployment. As businesses increasingly prioritise low GWP solutions, R454B chillers stand out as a high-performance option that delivers quality results while supporting global sustainability efforts.
Key attributes of the new IPE range:
Axial fans either EC or AC
High efficiency fans allowing starting at very low temperature and high energy performance. Depending on outlet temperatures of fluid to the evaporator, the EC fans become mandatory for compliance with EC Law.
Structure
Structure specially designed for withstand the most hostile environments. The internal layout has been optimised to facilitate lifting operations and group maintenance.
Hydronic Kit
Integrated hydronic kit comprising a water tank available for a temperature stability, a pump with a suitable pressure (1.5 bar to 5 bar) in depending on the process, and the safety pressure level.
Scroll Compressors
Optimisation of energy efficiency thanks to scroll compressors with high energy efficiency that allows consumption optimised and adapted to user needs.
Electric Cabinet
IP54 type insulated electrical cabinet produced according to IEC 204 standards - 1/EN60204 -1 with all elements of necessary protection.
Gas Detector
The Atex gas detector checks continuously the concentration of R454B against the Lower flammability limit and ensures safe operation of the system.
Advanced Control
Optimised and developed controls according to CTA standards to allow optimum control of the unit throughout all operation steps.
Atex Fan
Certified Atex fan that ensures the chassis ventilation operations case of propagation of the refrigerant (in option).
Additional options available
Total Heat Recovery Total heat recovery, available as an option, restores 100% of the calories absorbed on the evaporator andelectrical energy absorbed by the compressor.In this sense, it ensures the simultaneous production of hot and cold water
Desuperheater
The IPE New Gen range is optionally equipped with a desuperheater allowing heat recovery from the compressorsto be able to simultaneously produce hot and cold water.This option allows the use of calories"free" of the compressor, up to 25% of the total cooling capacity to supply the process with hot water.
Speed variation on electric motors Speed variation on all electric motors is available.It is carried out through a slave VFD for thecompressor and a master VFD for the pumps.The variable frequency drive improves the performance of the unitthanks to a permanent and stable maintenance of the setpoint temperatures as well as a wide operating rangeresponding to the variability of the thermal load on the process.The frequency converter also allows a current ofreduced start-up and thus ensures many savings in use but also in installation
Floating HP/LP Floating HP / LPThe units of the IPE New Gen R454b series are optionally equipped with devices allowing the implementation of high andlow floating pressures in order to improve the energy yields of the unit.
