FMCH-P: FriconUSA Medium-Sized Chiller

The most common applications are for oil cooling systems in plastic processes such as injection molding, extrusion and blow molding, laser cutting, medical equipment, chemical processing, beverage industry, glycol cooling systems, industrial laundry and for demanding air conditioning such as data centers.

The FMCH-P: FriconUSA Medium-Sized Chiller, Premium series, air cooled condenser, is built with the best components in the market including Bitzer semi-hermetic compressors; available in capacities from 15 to 50 TR in configurations of a single or dual parallel compressor(s).

The quality, high efficiency up to 11.3 EER and excellent IPLV, according to AHRI Standard 550/590, assure our customers reliability, low operating costs and long equipment life.

Standard Ambient Operating Temperature range: +110°F (+43.3°C) to +40°F (4.4°C)

Extended Ambient Operating Temperature range: +125°F (+51.7°C) to -35°F (-37.2°C)*

*See optional packages.

Application / Leaving Fluid Temperature Range:

H: High/Medium: +55°F (+12.8°C) to +15°F (-9.4°C)

M: Medium/Low: +40°F (+4.6°C) to -17°F (-27.4°C)

Bitzer semi-hermetic compressor(s) with unloader and with spring mounted vibration insulation, crankcase heater and internal thermal protection.
Step unloader(s) on each compressor (4 cylinders: 50-100%, 6 cylinders: 33-66-100%).
Aluminum structure with galvanized steel reinforcement, high efficiency condenser with reinforced structure and aluminum micro-channel coils. Its low weight and size reduces the costs of transportation, installation and construction.
Galvanized, powder coated, acoustically semi-insulated and weatherproof semi-enclosed compressor cabin.
EcoFriendly; Air cooled micro-channel condenser coil with internal volume reduced requires between 40% and 60% less refrigerant charge and results in a significant reduction of the refrigerant charge necessary for normal or flooded operations.
Wide range of applications at different working ambient temperatures.
Quiet, high efficiency, external rotor motor, two speed, AC type axial fans for a better operation.
Built-in, Direct Expansion (DX) brazed plate Evaporator, one circuit with reduced internal volume requires less refrigerant charge.
