23XRV

High-Efficiency Variable Speed Screw Chiller with Greenspeed® Intelligence


The 23XRV chiller is the world’s first integrated variable speed, water cooled, screw chiller. The 23XRV incorporates significant breakthroughs in water-cooled chiller technology to provide excellent reliability and achieve superior efficiencies at true operating conditions without compromising the environment. Quality design and construction make the AquaEdge® 23XRV chillers the best choice for modern, efficient chilled water plants.


Carrier's AquaEdge® chillers offer the best value in high-efficiency chlorine-free variable speed screw HVAC chillers.
