Atlas Copco takes the cool approach
Industrial portfolio expanded to embrace process cooling solutions
The newly-launched TCX 4-90A is Atlas Copco’s first process cooling chiller range, with plans to introduce more products to the market in 2021 and extend the range to include higher cooling capacities.
“The addition of process cooling is the perfect complement to our compressed air and industrial gases portfolio,” says Alexander Pavlov, general manager of Atlas Copco Compressors UK. “It means we can now deliver a broader product offering to our industrial customers, with the convenience of Atlas Copco service and connectivity.”
Variety of sizes
The TCX 4-90A Process Cooling Chiller range features a compact, all-in-one water chiller, with an air-cooled condenser and integrated hydro module (onboard tank and pump solutions). Units will be available in a variety of sizes. TCX chillers are specially designed for cooling water (or a mixture of water and glycol) for a wide range of industrial segments, including machine cooling, plastics, printing, food and beverage, medical and pharmaceutical.
Over the last year, Atlas Copco leveraged its more than 140 years of design experience to deliver a chiller product with a wealth of service features and built-in connectivity. The innovative and familiar Elektronikon Mk5 Touch controller comes standard on the 11 to 90 kW TCX models, putting control at the user’s fingertips.
Smart monitoring
Additionally, SMARTLINK 24/7 monitoring is available as part of the chiller’s total package. The TCX range can also be covered on a single-service contract with all other Atlas Copco mechanical equipment, such as air compressors, dryers, nitrogen generation systems and low-pressure blowers.
The new range, adds the company, “fully complies with Ecodesign directive 2021 to reach the highest level of energy saving, while reducing production costs and maximising efficiency, delivering the reliability and performance customers expect and demand from an Atlas Copco product”. The design of the TCX range’s state-of-the-art microchannel condensers requires 30% less refrigerant, making the units more environmentally friendly.
