PCA Series .5 - 1.5 HP

Product catalog summary

Overview: The PCA Series Packaged Chiller by AEC is designed for small, demanding industrial applications, providing clean, cooling water at constant temperatures. These units are self-contained and ready for immediate hookup, offering a compact footprint of 20” x 26”.

Specifications: The chillers maintain temperature control within +/- 2°F (1.1°C) using microprocessor-based PID controls with autotuning. They feature NEMA 1-style electrical enclosures and non-ferrous wetted surfaces. Standard features include a leaving water temperature range of 35°F to 65°F (1.6°C to 18.3°C), hermetic compressors, efficient tube-in-tube evaporators, and aluminum fin/copper tube condensers.

Standard Features:

Hermetic reciprocating and scroll compressors (0.5 to 1.5 hp)
Polyethylene tank with external fill/drain sight glass
Regenerative turbine pump
Microprocessor-based PID controller with LED readout
Pressure-actuated process water bypass valve
Fully insulated refrigeration and process piping
HFC-134a refrigerant
High and low refrigerant pressure safety switches
Hot gas bypass capacity control
Thermal expansion valve
Ease of maintenance with multiple access ports
1-year warranty on parts

Optional Features:

Graphic display package for monitoring pump, compressor, and refrigerant status
Increased operational capacity up to 75°F (23.9°C) with CPR valve
General audible/visual alarm package
Power cord (less plug)
External Y-Strainer
Sight glass guard
4-year extended compressor warranty (requires factory startup)

Performance Data: The chillers are available in models PCA 050, PCA 100, and PCA 150, with varying capacities and specifications. For example, PCA 050 offers 1.2 tons of cooling at 65°F LWT and 75°F ambient, while PCA 150 provides 3.6 tons at the same conditions. The water circuit pressure drop varies by model and flow rate.
