INTRODUCTION
The Dunham-Bush WCFX-E Water Cooled Rotary Screw Flooded Chillers are available from 70 to
1000 TR [246 to 3517 kW]. These units are supplied with rotary screw compressors that are
backed by more than 40 years of experience. In fact, a one-year parts warranty is provided on the
entire unit at no extra cost.
All units are factory run tested before shipment.
