Airedale by Modine’s MultiChillTM Propane Heat Pump optimises natural refrigerant R290 to deliver high efficiency performance and high water temperatures
Leeds, UK – Airedale by Modine™, the Critical Cooling Specialists has today announced the addition of the MultiChillTM Propane, a modular design reversible air source heat pump that operates using highly sustainable natural refrigerant R290. The MultiChill range of heat pump chillers is a class-leading sustainable cooling and heating solution available to UK customers.
MultiChill Propane is available in seven unit sizes, with a high efficiency cooling capacity of 35kW to 73kW and heating capacity of 40kW to 86kW. It is optimised for natural refrigerant R290 (GWP 3), delivering a SEER up to 5.36, EER 2.86 and SCOP W55 3.63.
Delivering hot water at temperatures of up to 75°C, and with the ability to manage double setpoints in heating and cooling operation, MultiChill Propane is suitable for comfort, industrial and domestic hot water applications. It has three sound configurations for noise-sensitive applications, offering both application flexibility and energy saving capabilities.
With safety at the forefront, Airedale by Modine MultiChill Propane units are fitted with leak detectors and have a double division between control section and refrigerant circuit compartment. An air purge system to release refrigerant allows for ventilation and refrigerant extraction. In common use throughout the UK, propane is classified as a Class A3 substance in line with British Standard BS EN 378-1 with low toxicity.
Simon Scott, Commercial Director for Airedale by Modine said,
“The MultiChill Propane is a groundbreaking addition to Airedale by Modine’s sustainable range of commercial and industrial heat pump chillers. Critical to industry, propane delivers a high efficiency solution. Like most things, as long as safety protocols are followed, it is safe to use.”
Developed with modularity in mind, the system can be configured with multiple units to provide reliability and flexibility without compromising performance. Up to 16 units can be connected in a local network to deliver a total capacity of 1168kW cooling and 1376kW heating. Combined with the integrated system tank, optimised airflow for minimum clearance and the compact size, MultiChill Propane is a space saving solution, perfect for legacy sites seeking a sustainable upgrade.
MultiChill Propane is a result of an agreement signed with an original equipment manufacturer (OEM) and comes with the reassurance of being covered by Airedale by Modine support services including dedicated UK technical support, warranty and their UK-based 24/7 service support team.
