Available in capacities from 11 to 233kW, the SmartCool™ SD, SN & SR range has been designed to maximise the use of the internal heat exchange area in addition to other energy efficient enhancements.
The new frame design on the SmartCool™ SD (60kW–233kW) facilitates a larger coil area and improved airflow path. The innovative slab coil arrangement, with filters located on the face of the coil, provides up to 15% more surface area for air flow and allows for low air-side pressure drop, increasing efficiency by lowering fan power. Energy efficiency in the SD model is further increased by locating the fans in the floor void.
The SmartCool™ SD is also designed with two fully modulating, two-way actuated ball valves in place of a single three-way valve. In addition to improved efficiency, this brings further benefits as the two-way valve method of controlling the chilled water can be used as an auto-commissioning tool saving commissioning time.
Airedale’s SmartCool™ SN/SR models (11kW–60kW) are designed with innovative V-frame heat exchangers, again improving air flow through the unit and reducing pressure, to deliver market-leading efficiency levels and consistently outperform rival systems.
All units incorporate the latest release in fan technology. The backward-curved centrifugal EC fans are up to 70% more efficient than their AC equivalents and allow units to be configured to customer needs according to whether they require high airflow/high capacity or low airflow/ high efficiency. This makes units extremely competitive when considering both cooling capacity per footprint and efficiency. The aerodynamic design of the fans also helps reduce noise.
The SmartCool™ range is available in a number of different configurations to suit a wide range of specifications including compact applications where space is a limiting factor.
One of the first orders received for the new range by the British manufacturer will see 20 SmartCool™ SD chilled water units delivered to their eastern European customer in December 2013.
