Blue Star Launches Watercooled Chiller for Green Buildings

As energy costs continue to rise and environmental regulations become increasingly stringent, businesses worldwide are seeking efficient, reliable cooling solutions that can meet diverse application needs while maintaining sustainability standards. Blue Star, a leader in India's central air conditioning industry, has responded with its latest generation of AHRI-certified water-cooled screw chillers.

With over 70 years of professional experience, Blue Star has developed water-cooled screw chillers that combine exceptional performance with flexible customization options. These systems are ideal for airports, green buildings, hotels, shopping malls, office complexes, and industrial facilities.

Key features include:

• Versatile applications: Designed to handle both precision manufacturing with strict temperature requirements and large commercial spaces with substantial cooling demands.
• Energy efficiency: Advanced energy-saving technologies significantly reduce power consumption, with COP and IPLV values exceeding national and international energy standards.
• Reliable operation: High-quality components and advanced control systems ensure long-term stability and minimal downtime.
• Space-saving design: Compact dimensions and streamlined installation process reduce space requirements and setup costs.
• Custom configurations: Multiple options for chillers, condensers, and compressors allow tailored solutions for specific operational needs.

The chillers utilize semi-hermetic twin-screw compressors featuring:

• Patented 5-6 profile design for optimal volumetric ratio adjustment
• Independent radial and axial force bearings for extended lifespan
• Non-contact rotor operation for reduced maintenance
• Smart control algorithms to prevent frequent starts/stops

Flooded evaporators and condensers minimize refrigerant-water temperature differentials, while electronic expansion valves enable precise capacity control.

The systems use ozone-friendly R-134a refrigerant in leak-proof circuits, with 30-50% smaller physical footprint than conventional units. Noise and vibration levels comply with ASHRAE standards.

Blue Star's chillers help buildings achieve LEED certification by:

• Meeting ASHRAE 90.1 energy efficiency standards
• Using zero-ODP refrigerants
• Reducing operational energy costs beyond minimum requirements

Innovative design features include:

• 1.2-meter width for standard doorway access
• Victaulic connections for quick piping installation
• Factory-adjusted heat exchanger water flow directions
• Comprehensive pre-shipment testing
• Easily accessible service components

All chillers undergo testing at Blue Star's AHRI-certified facility, the only such testing center in India for units up to 450TR capacity.

Optional GPRS-based remote monitoring provides:

• Automatic fault logging and alerts via SMS/email
• 24/7 performance tracking
• Centralized data analysis for rapid troubleshooting

The new water-cooled screw chiller series ranges from 80TR to 450TR capacity, manufactured at Blue Star's ISO 9001-certified facility. These systems represent a significant advancement in commercial and industrial cooling technology, combining energy efficiency, environmental responsibility, and operational reliability.
