When you need to cool an office building, shopping mall, factory or even an entire business district, Carrier’s Commercial Systems offers sufficient cooling power to keep it comfortable.
A typical centrally cooled building consists of a chilled water plant that produces cold water. Chillers generate the cold water, which in turn is piped to various areas of the building and connected to air handling or fan coil units. The air-handling units then generate cool, dehumidified air by blowing into the coils that contain the cold water. This system is usually referred to as a chilled water system.
Most hotels, shopping centers, single tenant office buildings, controlled environments such as semi-conductor manufacturing, food processing & some industrial processes typically use chilled water systems. Regulating the amount of cold water that is piped to each air handing or fan coil unit controls temperature & relative humidity.
When it is not possible to put in a chilled water plant into a building, large capacity air-cooled or water-cooled systems are used instead. These are just larger versions of split systems found in most small businesses, restaurants and offices. Instead of cold water, low temperature refrigerant is piped in the coils. Blowing air into these coils produces the cool, dehumidified air we associate with air conditioning.
The Commercial Systems range includes chillers, air handling & fan coil units, large packaged equipment, terminal units and even central plant & building controls. Carrier was the first major equipment manufacturer to offer a full line up of chlorine-free centrifugal, fixed and variable speed screw & scroll chillers.
