Models RTWD and RTHD
Series R™ Helical Rotary Screw Chillers
Two proven, modernized workhorses that offer reliability and provide application flexibility—helping building owners meet their sustainability goals.
- As a heat pump chiller, the RTWD features expanded heating capabilities of up to 165° F (74° C) for boiler replacement in a wider range of applications
- RTHD can be configured to produce leaving evaporator solution temperatures as low as 5° F (-15° C) for industrial process cooling applications
- Symbio® 800 Equipment Controller serves as the launch point to connect to an array of Trane building systems and services
- Series R chillers utilize R-513A refrigerant for cooling and R-515B for heating, offering a 55% reduction in GWP compared to R-134a
-
Outstanding versatility for a wide range of demands
Series R helical rotary chillers are suited for commercial applications that require precise temperature control. Their wide operating temperature range, electronic expansion valve and short anti-recycle timers give them the flexibility for almost any high-performance cooling and heating system.
-
Environmentally friendly refrigerants and updated controls
Series R helical rotary chillers help customers meet sustainability goals with low-GWP refrigerants, including R-513A for cooling and R-515B for heating, offering a 55% reduction in GWP compared to R-134a. Symbio controllers integrate with building automation systems and assist with performing various energy efficiency and chiller performance analyses, delivering insights on enhancement opportunities.
-
A reliable, proven solution
Series R helical rotary chillers offer high reliability and enhanced energy efficiency due to their direct-drive compressor design that uses fewer moving parts than gear compressors.
-
Compact size for easier installation
Chiller replacement can be faster, cheaper and less disruptive due to the Series R chiller’s compact size, which fits into most existing mechanical rooms without requiring additional floor space or wall tear-outs. Units can pass through a standard double door opening, and both single- and dual-point power connections can take advantage of existing wiring.
