Airedale has produced a range of large capacity, high efficiency, air-cooled screw chillers with a small footprint called OptiChill.

The units have been optimised for use with R134a refrigerant in a choice of 13 model sizes from 500 kW to 1100 kW nominal cooling capacities in a standard or high efficiency range. An optional chiller sequence manager can integrate up to eight chillers into a single operating system to best-fit energy-efficiency solutions, ensuring equal usage of compressors and allowing remote set point adjustment and alarm management. OptiChill meets all the criteria for inclusion on the Energy Technolgy List, enabling end-users to claim 100% first-year capital allowance.
