The appearance in the air-conditioning industry of a new range of compact oil-free turbo-compressors in 2004 leaded Alfa Laval to start a project with the aim of: Verify the performance of their heat exchangers in combination with these heat exchangers in absence of lubricant oil. Optimize a dedicate series of flooded-type shell-and tube evaporators The results of the tests, carried out by Alfa Laval in cooperation with major OEM chiller manufacturers, show how the new compressor technology and the absence of oil can bring the efficiency of cooling systems to new levels. Since 5 years we register a growing demand for high COP/EER chiller solutions coming from the US and EU markets This demand is influenced by multiple factors as... the new ASHRAE rules in US (suche as ASHRAE 90.1 and California Title 24 energy efficiency requirements); a more important action by Eurovent in E
