SPX Cooling Technologies

Booth B1415

SPX Cooling Technologies, Inc., a full-line manufacture of evaporative cooling towers and air-cooled heat exchangers, showcases its latest cooling towers and components and presents 20-minute education sessions at the International Air-Conditioning, Heating, Refrigeration Exposition (AHR Expo).

SPX Cooling Technologies at AHR Expo

SPX Cooling features the new Marley DT fluid cooler, which includes finned coil options that increase thermal capacity. Also featured is the Marley NC Everest crossflow cooling tower and Marley MD counterflow cooling tower, Recold V Tech adiabatic cooling system, MarleyGard™ water management products, and Marley controls and aftermarket components. On Jan. 14 and 15, SPX booth visitors can attend Marley School of Cool short sessions on Cooling Tower Fundamentals, Crossflow vs Counterflow Tower Design, Cooling Tower Sound Levels, and Variable Flow for Energy Savings. School of Cool attendees will receive a certificate of completion for continuing education tracking.

On display is a Marley DT fluid cooler, an induced-draft counterflow product, which offers higher dry operation capacity in cool weather than fill/coil hybrid coolers, delivers lower fan energy costs compared to forced-draft coolers, and reduces system components compared to combination open tower and plate heat exchanger (PHE) systems. The expanded DT fluid cooler line includes models with finned coils that expand thermal performance and permit dry operation during a broader range of ambient temperatures. The new models can more effectively reject heat without evaporating water, reducing costs associated with water usage, water treatment and pump energy.

Compared to other factory-assembled counterflow towers, the Marley MD Everest cooling tower offers nearly three times more cooling capacity per cell. Its unique design, with fewer components, reduced piping and minimal electrical connections, decreases installation and maintenance costs while providing energy savings. Compared with field-erected alternatives, the MD Everest tower delivers 60 percent sooner and installs 80 percent faster. At 3790 tons, the MD Everest tower is an ideal one-to-one match for some of the largest chillers.

The Marley NC Everest cooling tower also takes cooling to a higher level, with 50 percent greater cooling capacity and higher energy savings than other factory-assembled crossflow cooling towers. Its innovative design reduces installation costs, and offers unrivaled interior access for easier and safer inspections and maintenance. Additionally, the NC Everest Cooling Tower uses up to 35 percent less fan power for higher energy efficiency.

The Recold V Tech adiabatic cooling system is designed for halocarbon refrigerant condensing and CO2 gas cooling applications in supermarket refrigeration systems. It provides lower energy usage and a smaller footprint than an air-cooled condenser and up to 60 percent or more reduction in site water usage compared to an evaporative condenser. The Recold V Tech enhances the utility of an air-cooled system with the efficiency boost of a wet system during peak conditions. Evaporative pads precool air only on peak days and coils remain dry to maintain efficiency and life expectancy.

Also on display are a range of cooling tower control systems and aftermarket components, including new replacement systems for heat transfer fill media.



Tecumseh

Tecumseh Products Company LLC will unveil Tecumseh ARGUS, a next generation of air cooled low and medium temperature condensing units with both indoor and outdoor options for the North American market. 

Tecumseh ARGUS Condensing Unit

Tecumseh Products Company LLC will showcase Tecumseh ARGUS at AHR Expo. Tecumseh ARGUS is a next generation of air-cooled, low and medium temperature condensing unit platform focusing on ½ to 6 HP capacities. Tecumseh ARGUS is designed with building owners and service technicians in mind and provides unmatched performance, sustainability, serviceability and flexibility. Its performance is optimized around HFO-blend refrigerants and exceeds DOE’s AWEF requirements by up to 15% in the capacity range of ½ to 6 HP.  It is first to the market in exceeding the AWEF requirement for hermetic reciprocating compressor condensing units for 1.25 HP or less. Tecumseh ARGUS is ideal for walk-in coolers and freezers and provides restaurants, grocery, convenience stores and other food-service and retail establishments unmatched performance and configurability from a compact environmental footprint. 

Tecumseh ARGUS is a next generation platform that delivers sustainable solutions. It is optimized specifically for HFO-blend refrigerants while also applying either coated micro-channel condenser coils that can reduce overall refrigerant charge, or conventional tube and fin condenser coils. Applying a swept fan blade assembly option, ARGUS is extremely quiet compared to conventional fan blade and motor combinations meeting the growing requirement in LEED or WELL buildings that require improved indoor environmental quality.

“By applying a combination of reciprocating and scroll compressor technologies, we have developed Tecumseh ARGUS with serviceability for contractors and building owners in mind.”, Wilson said. Three chassis sizes were developed with a simplified layout, allowing ease of accessibility without removing the top of the enclosure and is equipped with LED lights in the service panel which provide visibility in any situation. A QR code on the inside of the service panel door enables a technician to easily access wiring diagrams, performance data, service part lists and our world-class technical service team.

The drastically improved assembly of the platform comes from a design that reduces braze joints by 25%, fasteners on average by 25% and product weight on average by 20%. Combine this with a new cell-based assembly line that enhances production quality and reduction in potential warranty returns and this is a long-lasting product meant to withstand the toughest environments in the field.
