FMCH-S: FriconUSA Medium-Sized Chiller

The most common applications are for the air conditioning of small to medium office buildings, hotels, schools and retail centers.

The FMCH-S: FriconUSA Medium-Sized Chiller, Standard Series, air cooled condenser, is built with the highest quality components in the market, using a Bitzer scroll compressors in capacities from 23 to 38 TR in configurations of a single or dual parallel compressor(s).

The quality, high efficiency up to 10.7 EER and excellent IPLV, according to AHRI Standard 550/590, assure our customers reliability, low operating costs and long equipment life.

Standard Ambient Operating Temperature range: +110°F (+43.3°C) to +40°F (4.4°C)

Extended Ambient Operating Temperature range: +125°F (+51.7°C) to -35°F (-37.2°C)*

*See optional packages.

Application / Leaving Fluid Temperature Range:

A: Air Conditioning: +55°F (+12.8°C) to +15°F (-9.4°C)

Single or dual (tandem) Bitzer scroll compressor.
Aluminum structure with galvanized steel reinforcement, high efficiency condenser with reinforced structure and aluminum micro-channel coils. Its low weight and size reduces the costs of transportation, installation and construction.
Galvanized, powder coated, acoustically semi-insulated and weatherproof semi-enclosed compressor cabin.
EcoFriendly; Air cooled micro-channel condenser coil with reduced internal volume requires between 40% to 60% less refrigerant charge and results in a significant reduction of the charge necessary for normal or flooded operations.
Wide range of applications at different working ambient temperatures.
Quiet, high efficiency, external rotor motor, two speed, AC type axial fans for a better operation.
Built-in, Direct Expansion (DX) brazed plate evaporator, one circuit with reduced internal volume requires less refrigerant charge.
Electronic expansion valve, liquid sight glass and solenoid valve.
Built-in flow switch.
Liquid drier with replaceable core and inlet ball valve.
Flexible joint on discharge line.
Refrigerant: R-410a
Factory pre-charged and individually tested.
UL 508A listed built-in electrical control panel.
Compressor and fan circuit breakers.
Voltage and phase-loss monitor with protection module for each compressor.
Control: 208-230V / 1PH / 60HZ
Power supply voltage 460V / 3PH / 60HZ with single point power connection.
Electronic Control System; compressor(s) and condenser fans operational management: alarms, measurement of pressure and temperature variables, 132x64 LCD backlit built-in display with 6-button keypad. Alarm management: 3 alarms for compressor(s) (overload, high/low pressure) and 1 overload alarm for condenser fans.
Fixed high and low pressure controls on each circuit.
BMS (Building Management System): ModBus protocol for supervisor or HMI (Human Machine Interface).
1-year warranty
