CHILLVENTA: Chiller launched using water as refrigerant

A German energy specialist has launched what it claims is the world’s first production-scale chiller using water as refrigerant at the Chillventa exhibition in Germany. Efficient Energy said its eChiller, available initially as a 45 kW unit features bespoke components to provide a highly efficient package - which the firm appears to claim could save up to 50 per cent over conventional chillers in its class.
