What is Free Cooling?
Free cooling is a sustainable method of using the ambient air to assist with the cooling of the process water chiller, reducing the cost of using the chillers refrigeration circuit. It enhances energy efficiency, lowers costs, and minimizes environmental impact by leveraging ambient air temperature for cooling without the need for constant energy consumption.
What free cooling products do Atlas Copco provide?
Atlas Copco provides the TCA 55-215 Hybrid Industrial Cooling Chiller. The Atlas Copco TCA55-215 series is a hybrid plug'n'play water chiller featuring a free-cooling section and patented adiabatic pre-cooling on the inlet.
