Hyperchill: Precision Chilled Water

domnick hunter Hyperchill water chillers celebrate a presence of over 30 years on the industrial chiller market. This experience has lead to a range which not only offers all the advantages typically offered by a quality water chiller, but also adds significant benefits for the industrial user. As such Hyperchill combines advanced design solutions, such as energy saving scroll compressors and a sophisticated microprocessor, with unique features to meet the specific needs of industrial users: these include Hyperchill’s extreme flexibility towards the varying working conditions typically found in industry.

The standard models are augmented by a wide range of options and accessories, which together ensure Hyperchill is the perfect solution to each and every industrial application. Hyperchill maximizes productivity and minimizes costs, as well as easing conformity to regulations on water quality. Hyperchill is the perfect solution to industrial chilled water needs.

Why an industrial chiller?
The use of cold water is very common in industry. The motives are obvious: cold water improves productivity, secures industrial processes and reduces costs. There are several methods of creating cold water, but water chillers are increasingly becoming the preferred solution. But why? Firstly, chillers always supply the exact water temperature requested, even with differing ambient conditions and differing load requests, thus ensuring optimum efficiency. Water has furthermore become a very precious, and costly, natural resource. Chillers, by operating in a closed circuit, continuously reutilize the same water, and thereby avoid unwanted water wastage. Add to this fact that a number of directives have recently emerged to safeguard both the quality of the water being utilized (for health reasons) as well as the discharging of impure water into the ambient (to protect the environment): closed circuit chiller operation greatly simplifies conformance to these regulations. The needs of industry are changing, and a water chiller increasingly satisfies these needs.

Easy to Use

Hyperchill is an all-in-one solution, with all components packaged inside.

Compact dimensions and a low weight make it simple to position, while models from PCW020 can be installed outdoors.
Maintenance is facilitated by full frontal access, a removable tank and a condenser section which is isolated from the rest of the chiller (from PCW020).
Models PCW020 - 650 can be used in pressurized closed circuits, facilitating system design. (PCW007 - 0010 must be specified when ordered).

Precise Control

Unlike traditional chillers, Hyperchill places the evaporator stage within the tank, with the temperature control sensor positioned on the water outlet: this guarantees a very accurate water outlet temperature control. Water temperature stability is further improved thanks to the oversized water tank.

An antifreeze thermostat and water level sensor secure continuous operation in all conditions, as does the internal water by-pass (standard on PCW013 - 650).

Economical & Environmentally Friendly

Hyperchill uses environmentally friendly refrigerant R407C on all models: R407C is characterized by a very high efficiency, leading to lower power consumption.
Compliant scroll compressors, which offer energy savings of around 20%, are fitted from PCW060.
Multiple compressors (from PCW210) ensure significant energy savings at partial loads.
Fail-safe Operation
Hyperchill operates continuously and in all conditions

Compliant Scroll Compressors

Hyperchill features advanced “compliant” scroll compressors (standard from PCW060). These offer significantly lower power consumption and a reduced refrigerant charge. The unique “compliant” technology offers extreme reliability and renders the compressor near indestructible. Compliant scroll compressors are also very user friendly, as they are extremely quiet and ensure the chiller requires no pre-heating. Furthermore, scroll compressors feature 50% fewer moving parts and emit lower vibration levels, thus increasing the chiller’s longevity.

Integral water tank

PCW007 - 650 are standardly supplied with an integral tank. The tank’s generous dimensions ensures precise water temperatures. The unique design places the evaporator (co-axial on PCW007 - 025, finned coil on PCW040 - 650) within the tank for steady temperature control, while the low water velocity configuration offers minimal pressure drops and virtually eliminates the risk of impurities blocking the water circuit.
The tank is removable, allowing easy maintenance.

Microprocessor control

All models standardly feature a microprocessor, offering ease of use, precise control and reliable operation. The advanced version, standard from (PCW040), offers a vast range of programming possibilities, allowing the chiller to be optimized for operation in even the most particular conditions. The microprocessor is standardly fitted with an interface for easy connection to be a centralized supervisor system. Remote control panels can be specified from PCW020.

Cleanable condenser pre-filter

Flexiblity of installation

A condenser pre-filter (standard from PCW020) improves chiller performance Hyperchill standardly accepts water
and reduces maintenance. inlet temperatures up to 86°F (30°C) and delivers outlet temperatures down to 32°F (0°C)*. Inlet/outlet temperature differences of as much as 27°F (15°C) can be obtained. Hyperchill operates with ambient temperatures up to 113°F (45°C), even with high water temperatures and during start-up. Models from PCW020 can be installed outdoors. The water by-pass (standard on PCW013 - 650) guarantees fault-free generation with fluctuating water flows and facilitates chiller start-up.

Peace of mind

Every single Hyperchill is extensively tested. Performance tests with water flow are combined with helium leak tests, water circuit tests, electrical tests, and tests of the microprocessor settings.

Integral Pump

PCW007 - 650 feature, as standard, a pump installed within the chiller itself. Twin pumps (from PCW080), or pumps with lower or higher available head pressures, are available on request. The water by-pass (standard on PCW013 - 650) protects the pump in fluctuating load conditions.

Options and Accessories

• Centrifugal fan option (PCW040 - 650)
  Designed for indoor installation, this version features fans which permit the condenser discharge air to be ducted.

• Water-cooled option (PCW040 - 650)
  In those cases where air-cooled models cannot be used, or a supply of warm water is desirable, Hyperchill offers water-cooled models featuring a shell & tube condenser and a pressostatic water control valve.

• Special & multiple pumps
  On request the standard pump can be substituted by pumps for either lower or high available head pressures (from PCW020). Furthermore, twin pumps can be installed on board (from PCW080), offering a stand-by capacity.
