Star Refrigeration Introduces Revolutionary Low Charge Ammonia Chiller: Azanechiller 3.0
Star Refrigeration has unveiled the future of highly efficient, low-ammonia-charge fluid chilling with the launch of the latest evolution of its Azanechiller.
The Azanechiller 3.0 sets a new industry standard for efficiency, safety, durability, and sustainability. This state-of-the-art, industrial air-cooled ammonia chiller is designed to deliver superior performance while minimizing environmental impact.
Exceeding the EcoDesign Regulation’s energy efficiency requirements by up to 110%, the Azanechiller 3.0 consumes up to 52% less electricity than a standard-rated EcoDesign chiller while delivering the same cooling performance. It also outperforms competitors in Seasonal Energy Performance Ratio (SEPR) by up to 20%, making it one of the most energy-efficient solutions for industrial refrigeration applications.
The plug-and-play Azanechiller 3.0 range offers cooling across a wide temperature range of -20°C to +25°C, with capacities ranging from 140kW to 1,600kW. Engineered with robust industrial components for increased reliability and longevity, the chiller is ideal for various industries such as food production, pharmaceuticals, data centers, brewing, distilling, and more.
With an extended lifespan of over 25 years, the Azanechiller 3.0 helps businesses future-proof operations, cut energy costs, and reduce carbon emissions. It is an environmentally responsible choice, fully exempt from F-gas and PFAS regulations, and engineered for efficiency across ambient temperatures up to 40°C.
Brooke McKenna, Azanechiller Product Specialist at Star Refrigeration, stated, “Azanechiller is the most successful and efficient air-cooled, low-charge ammonia refrigeration system on the market today for industrial applications.”
Engineered for sustainability, the Azanechiller 3.0 incorporates advanced features such as IE4 motors, variable-speed reciprocating compressors, high-efficiency EC condenser fans, and close-approach heat exchangers, making it a cost-effective and energy-efficient cooling solution.
The chiller package includes safety improvements such as a portable safety shower, enclosed electrical containment, and rain hood for the control panel to ensure a safer working environment. Optional features like a condenser ladder and handrail provide easy access for servicing.
The Azanechiller 3.0 control system is compatible with Star’s Ethos system, enabling AI-led performance monitoring and optimization for maximum efficiency throughout the plant’s life.
The new generation Azanechiller 3.0 offers advanced features to reduce energy consumption, lower carbon emissions, and ensure long-term sustainability in industrial refrigeration applications.
