AquaForce®
30HX

High-Efficiency
Indoor Liquid Screw Chiller
Source: North America

246 to 932 Nominal  kW
70 to 265 Nominal Tons

  • 30HXA - Condenserless
  • 30HXC - Freshwater-cooled
  • 30HXS - Seawater-cooled

The 30HX units are high-efficiency, condenserless, freshwater-cooled or seawater-cooled chillers, suitable for installing in the ship's machinery space. The units have a quiet, low-vibration design featuring screw compressors. The 30HX chillers are less than 1m wide, compact enough to fit through narrow hatches and access doors, making them great re-fit units.

NOTES
1. Rated (60Hz unit) in accordance with AHRI Standard 550/590 at standard rating conditions.
2. Standard rating conditions are as follows:

Cooler Conditions:
Leaving Water Temperature: 44°F (6.7°C)
Flow: 2.4gpm per ton (0.043 L/s per kW)

Condenser Conditions:
Entering Water Temperature: 85°F (29.4°C)
low: 3.0gpm per ton (0.054 L/s per kW)

Fouling Factor (Cooler):
0.00010 hr x sq ft x °F per Btuh (0.000018m2 x K per W)

Fouling Factor (Condenser):
0.00025 hr x sq ft x °F per Btuh (0.000044m2 x K per W)

3. IPLV is a single number part load efficiency value calculated from using the efficiency values at 100%, 75%, 50%, and 25% of load when the chiller is operating in AHRI conditions.
4. All data in the above table was generated in Packaged Chiller Builder version 3.47. Please refer to the most current version of the Packaged Chiller Builder for the most up-to-date data.
