The Chiller R-1233zd(E) is an alternative to newer low pressure centrifugal chillers, although it is not an upgrade alternative to existing R-123 chillers.
R-1233zd (E) is a single component refrigerant that has low toxicity, is non-flammable, and also has a low GWP.
What should you know about R-1233zd (E) in chillers?
- Interestingly, 1233zd (E) is itself an HCFC, so it contains chlorine that depletes the ozone layer, but falls outside the Montreal Protocol phase-out of these gases.
- HFO R1233zd (E), a non-toxic and non-flammable alternative, has already been accepted as a suitable replacement for adoption in new equipment.
- The efficiency levels of R1233zd (E) are slightly better than HCFC-123 when used in centrifugal chillers.
- R1233zd (E) is a non-flammable refrigerant and has a GWP of only 1. Trane was the first to adopt R1233zd (E) as a new gas in a range of CenTraVac chillers introduced in 2014.
- The Channel Tunnel, 50.5 km long, consists of three tunnels. The tunnels should cool down due to the heat generated by the trains The system was upgraded with four new chillers with, R1233zd (E), each with 2,000 tons of cooling capacity.
- These centrifugal chillers were among the first to be designed for use with R1233zd (AND).
