How do you find the tonnage of a carrier chiller?

How do you find the tonnage of a carrier chiller?

Find the model number. Within this string of letters and numerals, you should find an even, two-digit number. The possibilities on residential units range from 18 to 60. Divide the number by 12 (which represents 12,000 Btu/hr, or one ton of cooling capacity) to get your AC unit’s tonnage.

What are the different types of chiller?

Types Of Chillers

• Air Chillers.
• Water Chillers.
• Evaporative Condensed Chillers.
• Reciprocating Chillers.
• Rotary Screw Chillers.

What is aircooled chiller?

What is an Air Cooled Chiller? Air cooled chillers are among the most commonly used refrigeration systems for commercial and industrial facilities. They work by absorbing heat from process water and then transferring this heat, meaning that they should be used in areas where heat discharge is not a serious issue.

What are Carrier chillers?

Chillers and Components With a wide range of types, capacities and sustainable refrigerant options, Carrier is a leader in chiller options. With non-ozone depleting refrigerant, simple installation, superior efficiency and powerful controls, these units are ideal for both replacement and new construction projects.

What is the largest air cooled chiller?

The Prophet’s Mosque is one of the world’s largest air-cooled chiller installation. It requires 20,400 TR (71,700 kWR) of cooling which is accomplished with six Titan 3,400 TR (12,000 kWR) chillers.

What is the difference between air chiller and water chiller?

Both air-cooled and water-cooled chillers depend on an air stream as a means of heat transfer. The difference is that the water-cooled chillers or rather the cooling towers use a humid air stream (ambient air stream + water spray) while the air-cooled chillers use a current of ambient air.

What is a package chiller?

Packaged air-cooled chillers are a quick-to-install solution for companies in industries such as food processing, dairy, and brewing. These systems include a condenser, compressor, and evaporator and use ambient air to extract heat from industrial processes.

How do I know what tonnage my carrier is?

Simply divide the BTUs by 12,000 to calculate the tonnage of your unit. For example, if your air conditioner is 36,000 BTUs, you have a 3-ton unit. Some manufacturers bury tonnage or BTU information in their model numbers. Look for an even, two-digit number between 18 and 60.

How do you read a carrier model number?

Carrier/Payne/Bryant Carrier systems made in the last 20 years or so encode the week and year of manufacture within the first 4 digits. The first 2 are the week of the year (1-52) and the second are the year. For example 0199 would mean the system was made the first week of January in 1999.

What are the two basic types of chillers?

The two main types of chillers are vapor compression chillers and vapor absorption chillers.
