In mid-October 2022, SKADEC presented its new R290 compact chiller at Chillventa in Nuremberg. The system was designed for heating and cooling operation and could be presented at the trade fair as a ready-for-series system. In principle, customers have the option of installing the compact chiller as a single machine or using it in an efficient cascade circuit.

The highlight of the new SKADEC machine, apart from its compact dimensions, is the very low refrigerant charge with the natural refrigerant R290. With a refrigerating capacity of 7kW to 85kW per module, only 0.4 to 2.2 kg of the refrigerant are required. This means that it is now possible to install the system inside a building in accordance with legal safety precautions.

The intelligent control system was also developed and implemented by SKADEC. Each module has its own control and is independently functional. In the event of a malfunction of individual units, self-sufficient operation of the compact chillers is ensured at all times. Several systems connected in parallel can be intuitively operated and managed centrally via a higher-level control system.

The Compact Chiller can be ordered immediately in 11 different standard versions.
