Chillers feature oil-free, mini-centrifugal compressor technology, which guarantees exceptional low energy operation and reliability with low noise operation, whilst optimising product quality.

Process cooling specialist Powermaster Products has launched the revolutionary new TECS range of chillers from Climaveneta, featuring oil-free, mini-centrifugal compressor technology. By incorporating this major design innovation, TECS chillers guarantee exceptional low energy operation and reliability with low noise operation whilst optimising product quality and boosting manufacturing plant efficiency. Ideally suited for cooling a diverse range of pharmaceutical manufacturing and processing operations, Powermaster TECS chillers are available as air-cooled units with capacities ranging from 210 to 1780kW and as water-cooled chillers with capacities from 220 to 2400kW.

All chillers feature multiple (two, three, four, six or eight) refrigeration circuits.

The mini-centrifugal, oil-free compressor incorporates a high efficiency, inverter-driven motor and magnetic bearings.

Combined with precise control of the water temperature leaving the evaporator and an optimized cooling circuit, these features allow the TECS chiller to achieve 40% higher efficiency (at part load) and 10% higher efficiency (at full load) when compared to chillers with scroll or screw compressors.

At a time of rising energy costs for industry, the installation of a Powermaster TECS chiller will significantly reduce fuel consumption, helping to minimise the effect of the Climate Change Levy.

It also brings environmental advantages by reducing CO2 emissions to atmosphere whilst the chiller's asymmetric evaporator is specially designed to generate optimum cooling performance using the minimum amount of the green R134a refrigerant.

Powermaster's TECS chillers are designed for high reliability and minimal maintenance.

The compressor design features only one moving component - the compressor shaft.

Magnetic bearings keep this high-speed shaft suspended in the air and frictionless, reducing wear and extending the chiller's lifetime and cut maintenance to an absolute minimum.

Oil-free compressors also help keep maintenance costs down, and enhance sustainability by improving heat exchanger performance through the elimination of oil film between the coolant and heat exchange surfaces.

The new mini-centrifugal compressor provides unequalled quietness of operation.

The especially low noise frequency is possible thanks to zero-vibration, (even at start-up) and the elimination of the tonal problems typically found in screw compressor chillers.

Under standard Eurovent conditions, a Powermaster TECS 900kW air-cooled water chiller operates at a sound pressure of 68dBA at 1.0m distance.

All Climaveneta chillers are manufactured at the company's hi-tech production facilities in Northern Italy.

Units are built strictly in accordance with ISO 9001 / EN 29001 and every unit is rigorously and independently tested to the highest standards in purpose-built, climatic test chambers.

With a Head Office in Stirling and a dedicated network of offices in London, the Midlands and the North, Powermaster is a major nationwide distributor of chillers.

The company has built its reputation on the supply of high quality chiller systems, extensive technical and applications expertise, and prompt after sales back up service.

It offers customers access to a considerable bank of knowledge on the Climaveneta product range, following 12 years acting as the exclusive UK distributor in the building services sector.
