Trane has announced Agility, a water-cooled centrifugal chiller product line. Agility is ideal for customers retrofitting existing space-limited commercial buildings for efficiency and sustainability.
Agility is a redesigned chiller in the 175-425 ton range with a different compressor and heat exchanger. It uses CHIL evaporators that are proprietary to Trane that decrease size by 25 percent and total chiller refrigerant charge by up to 25 percent versus other medium pressure heat exchangers.
Delivering over 40 percent better IPLV than the ASHRAE 90.1-2016 requirement with a 25 percent lower refrigerant charge than other medium pressure chillers, Agility is designed to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. These chillers are part of the Ingersoll Rand EcoWise portfolio of products, which are solutions available with next generation, lower global warming potential (GWP) refrigerants offering safety, reliability and efficiency. The Agility chillers are design optimized with low- GWP refrigerant, R-513A, and is also available with current generation refrigerant option, R-134A.
Products within the EcoWise portfolio reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while maintaining safety and energy efficiency through design. Other Trane chillers included in the EcoWise portfolio are Sintesis air-cooled chillers and the entire CenTraVac centrifugal chillers portfolio, that also include Series S and Series E chillers.
