Features/Benefits
Quality design and con-
struction make the 30HXC
(Fluid Cooled) and the 30HXA
(Condenserless) units the
preferred choice
Easy installation
The 30HX chiller has a compact
design that fits through a standard
door opening and requires minimal
indoor space. The 30HX chiller is
delivered as a complete package for
easy installation. There are no extra
controls, clocks, starters, or other
items to install.
The 30HX unit also provides a
single point electrical power entrance
(using the accessory field-installed
control transformer) and quick, easy
piping using either welded or accessory
victaulic-type clamp-on couplings for
the cooler.
The 30HX 208/230-v and 460-v
units are designed in accordance with
UL (Underwriters’ Laboratory, U.S.A.)
standards and the 575-v units are
designed in accordance with CSA
(Canadian Standards Association)
standards to minimize electrical
inspections.

Oversizing chillers
Oversizing chillers by more than 15% at design conditions
must be avoided as the system operating efficiency will be
adversely affected (resulting in greater and/or excessive elec-
trical demand and cycling of compressors). When future ex-
pansion of equipment is anticipated, install a single chiller
to meet present load requirements, and install a second chiller
to meet the additional load demand.
It is also recommended that the installation of 2 smaller
chillers be considered where operation at minimum load is
critical. The operation of 2 small chillers at higher loading
