Core Technical Features & Advantages

① Active Magnetic Levitation Bearings — Precision and Reliability

The rotor is suspended in a controlled magnetic field with zero physical contact, eliminating friction, wear, and heat generation. High-speed feedback control ensures stable, precise operation under dynamic loads, delivering low energy consumption, high reliability, and long service life.

② Dual Capacity Modulation — VFD + IGV

Variable frequency drive and inlet guide vanes allow seamless, stepless capacity control. Benefits include:

Extended stable operating range

High efficiency at part-load

Smooth response to fluctuating cooling demands

③ Completely Oil-Free Operation

No lubrication oil eliminates:

Complex oil management systems

Maintenance tasks like oil sampling or replacement

Potential downtime due to oil circuit issues

④ Oil-Free Refrigerant Circuit — Maximum Heat Transfer Efficiency

Without oil films, heat exchanger surfaces maintain optimal thermal performance throughout the compressor’s life, ensuring consistent high COP and real-world energy savings.

⑤ Ultra-Low Noise & Vibration

Frictionless magnetic bearings + smooth centrifugal flow result in:

Low vibration — no isolation mounts required

Low acoustic emission — suitable for rooftops, occupied basements, or upper floors

Flexible installation and reduced mechanical room cost

⑥ Reliable Power Failure Protection

The Magnetic Levitation Centrifugal Chiller Unit has a built-in UPS or capacitor backup power supply, which enables controlled and safe rotor deceleration in the event of a sudden power outage, preventing mechanical damage.

⑦ Permanent Magnet Variable Frequency Motor

Soft-start capability minimizes inrush current, reducing grid impact and enabling smooth start-up in sensitive facilities.

⑧ High-Efficiency Enhanced Heat Transfer Tubes

Specially engineered tube surfaces increase turbulent flow and heat transfer efficiency, enabling compact design with excellent long-term thermal performance and corrosion resistance.

⑨ Premium First-Tier Valves

All refrigerant circuit valves come from leading international brands, ensuring:

Reliable flow control and sealing

Long service life

Easy maintenance and replacement
