The air-cooled Rotary chiller has the
tightest recommended side clearances
in the industry, 1.8 meters, but that
is not all. In situations where
equipment must be installed with
less clearance than recommended,
such as frequently occurs in retrofit
and rooftop applications, restricted
air flow is common. Conventional
chillers may not work at all.
However, the air-cooled Rotary
