Gas-Powered CenTraVac™ Chiller Package

In today’s air conditioning market there are many system alternatives. These include electric chillers, gas or steam absorption chillers, engine driven chillers or a combination of two or more of the above.

The proven design of the CenTraVac chiller and the Waukesha Enginator make this package exceptionally attractive when the economics favor an engine driven system. The design of the Gas Powered CenTraVac was developed with the assistance of the Gas Research Institute.

Engine driven alternatives, whether an engine driven generator set or a straight engine driven chiller, have the highest coefficients of performance of any natural gas cooling system and demonstrate lower total operating cost in many parts of the country.
