Generalities 2 CSO/CPO principles of operation The range of CSO/CPO chillers supplies chilled oil (10) continuously at a constant temperature. The chilling is accomplished in the following manner: An HFC refrigerant of either R134A (tetrafluoroethane) or R407C types is compressed (5) and then chilled in an air condenser (8). A pressure regulator (16) causes a drop in pressure which leads to a drop in temperature.
2 Generalities Models and available options The CSO and CPO range of industrial oil chillers covers several models classified according to their ca- pacities and available options. On CPO models a pump can be added directly as an option in the unit, as well as a cleanable exchanger. 2.4.1 List of models The following models are currently available:...
