More Operating Range. More Resiliency.
Prepared for Conditions Beyond the Expected
System design conditions provide an important benchmark, but real-world operations often demand more. Unexpected weather events, condenser water temperature fluctuations, changing occupancy patterns, and evolving cooling requirements can push HVAC equipment outside conventional operating ranges.
The AquaEdge® 19MV was engineered specifically to address these challenges. Its expanded operating range helps facilities maintain cooling performance at both low-load and high-demand conditions while supporting energy-saving strategies such as chilled water reset and cold condenser water operation. This flexibility allows building operators to adapt to changing circumstances without compromising performance, helping increase confidence in system reliability while supporting broader building resiliency initiatives. When operating conditions become challenging, the AquaEdge® 19MV is designed to keep moving forward.
Efficiency Without Compromise
Engineered to Reduce Energy Consumption at Every Load Condition
Many chillers are designed primarily around peak load conditions. However, most buildings spend the majority of their operating life running at partial loads. The AquaEdge® 19MV is designed to perform efficiently not only at design conditions, but also throughout the varying operating scenarios facilities experience every day.
Its advanced compressor and drive train technologies work together to maximize efficiency across a wide operating envelope, helping reduce energy consumption while supporting long-term sustainability objectives. Whether responding to seasonal temperature changes, fluctuating occupancy levels, or shifting building loads, the 19MV continuously optimizes performance to help lower lifecycle operating costs.
Innovation at the Core
Powered by Advanced Compression Technology
At the center of the AquaEdge® 19MV is Carrier's EquiDrive™ two-stage back-to-back compressor technology, enhanced with magnetic bearings to deliver exceptional operating performance.
This innovative design helps improve efficiency while reducing mechanical complexity associated with traditional bearing systems. The result is smooth operation, dependable performance, and reduced wear over time. By combining proven compressor architecture with modern magnetic bearing technology, Carrier has created a chiller platform designed to support long-term operational excellence.

PLV Pro™ Software
Smarter Chiller Performance Evaluation Starts with PLV Pro
Carrier's PLV Pro software provides a fast, no-cost way to evaluate chiller system performance using project-specific operating conditions rather than relying solely on generic IPLV-based lifecycle analyses.
To deliver accurate, real-world results, PLV Pro analyzes key variables such as geographic location, building type, chiller plant capacity, chiller quantity, staging methodology, design temperatures, and overall plant configuration. The software leverages pre-calculated load profiles generated with Carrier's Hourly Analysis Program (HAP) energy modeling software, allowing users to quickly compare alternatives, evaluate energy performance, and make more informed decisions with confidence.
