Compressor : screw variable-speed

Nominal cooling capacity : 490-1 100 kW


The AquaForce® Vision 30KAV/P liquid chillers with Greenspeed® Intelligence are the premium solution for commercial and industrial applications where installers, consultants and building owners require superior reliability and optimal performances, especially at part load.

  • Outstanding performance
  • Low sound levels
  • Intelligence and connectivity
  • Environmentally responsible
  • Wide range of applications
  • Simple installation and maintenance

The range is available in 5 efficiency levels:

  • 30KAV standard unit with variable speed screw compressors
  • 30KAV with EC fans (option 17) - enhances the seasonal energy efficiency
  • 30KAV with High Energy Efficiency (option 119) - equipped with additional heat exchange surface to deliver optimum performance at both full load and part load
  • 30KAV with High Energy Efficiency+ (option 119+) - equipped with EC fans and additional heat exchange surface to provide the highest possible seasonal energy efficiency
  • 30KAVP Premium efficiency - equipped with EC fans, additional heat exchange surface and permanent magnet compressor motors

Outstanding energy performance

  • Variable speed screw compressors (30KAV) with permanent magnet motors (30KAVP)
  • 2nd generation of Carrier high-efficiency variable-speed twin-screw compressors with built in volume index control (Vi) valve for both optimal full and part load performance

  • Novation® aluminum condenser with high-efficiency micro-channel coils technology
  • Optimized electrical performance
  • Hydraulic module with variable-speed dual pump
  • Smart energy monitoring

Built-in reliability and easy servicing

  • Screw compressors are industrial-type with oversize bearings and motor cooled by suction gas
  • Variable-speed fans
  • Novation® aluminum micro-channel heat exchangers (MCHE) with high corrosion resistance
  • Flooded evaporator with mechanically cleanable water tubes
  • Two independent refrigerant circuits to secure partial cooling
  • Auto-adaptive control
  • Exceptional endurance tests

Minimized operating sound levels

  • Greenspeed® Intelligence, featuring variable-speed screw compressors and condenser fans, minimizes noise levels at part load operation
  • New generation of Carrier 06Z variable-speed twin screw compressor with integrated resonator array 
  • 6th generation of silent Flying Bird™ fans
  • 4 sound levels to match the most sensitive environments

Easy and fast installation

  • Compact units for easy transportation and installation
  • Simplified electrical connections
  • Simplified water connections
  • Fast commissioning

Environmental care

  • Automatic energy meter
  • R-134a : HFC refrigerant with zero ozone depletion potential
  • 40% less refrigerant allowed by the micro-channel technology
  • Leak tight refrigerant circuits
  • Software leak detection + alert
  • Refrigerant leak detection input (option)

Designed to support Green Building Design

  •  LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification

New generation of Carrier 06Z variable-speed twin screw compressor

  • Twin screw compressor optimized for variable speed operation
  • Separate air-cooled inverter drive for increased reliability
  • Integrated Resonator Array (IRA) to reduce the sound level by up to 6 dB(A) when compared with previous 06T generation
  • Integrated Check Valve for quiet shutdown
  • Bearing life exceeding 100 000 hours
  • A dedicated oil separator is installed at the discharge of each compressor to ensure maximum oil return
  • Volume index control (Vi) valve provides a reliable method of adjusting the compression ratio to better match system demand
  • Screw compressors work on the positive displacement principle to compress gas to a higher pressure. As a result, if there is an unusually high pressure in the condenser, the compressor does not switch off, but continues operation at reduced capacity (unloaded mode)
  • The silencer in the oil separator line considerably reduces discharge gas pulsations for much quieter operation
