Carrier Next Generation New Refrigerant Options

Where permitted and commercially and technically feasible, Carrier is committed to delivering natural or very low GWP refrigerant solutions. We will continue to evaluate options to expand our offering of ultra-low GWP solutions and we have products available today to meet the demand for lower GWP solutions. The adoption of our high-efficiency and lower global warming potential refrigerant products has helped our customers avoid approximately 137 million metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, which is equal to the annual energy use of more than 16 million U.S. homes.

Chiller Resiliency

Federal facilities are under increasing pressure to be resilient to continue operating under severely compromised conditions. Carrier considers this resiliency requirement for every chiller designed and sold:

  • A high efficiency chiller can mean lower power consumption for the same cooling capacity, thereby leading to less need for standby generation.
  • Extended maintenance contracts with expert Carrier Service teams can ensure your units operate at that peak efficiency and can spot/fix any issues before the cause a problem.
General Services Administration (GSA) Evaluation

In August 2017, the General Services Administration published findings of an evaluation performed by their GSA Proving Ground program. In this evaluation, a Carrier variable speed screw chiller (AquaEdge® 23XRV) was compared side-by-side to what was then a state-of-the-art magnetic bearing chiller. Each chiller had the same cooling capacity, and the evaluation was set up such that the chillers took turns operating on the same condenser and chilled water systems at the Sidney Yates Building in Washington, DC.1

Findings from the GSA Evaluation

  • Carrier’s chiller consumed 11% less electricity over the 2-year evaluation period, all while serving the same profile on both the condenser and chiller water loops.
  • An unusually warm period in February dictated that the chiller system be energized. Unfortunately, the cooling tower sump had cooled to 55°. The magnetic bearing chiller manufacturer was contacted and stated that starting their chiller under those circumstances would void the warranty. The facility operations team reached out to Carrier and started the unit successfully under this out-of-design condition.
  • The condenser water loop was also tested, allowing its temperature to slowly rise under controlled conditions during the summer. The magnetic bearing unit tripped off at 85.1°. The Carrier chiller operated all the way up to 95° condenser water temperature, at which time the test was considered complete.
