The CLINT CWW 702-V÷5602-V is a series of water-cooled liquid chillers and heat pumps with screw compressors, designed for industrial and commercial applications. This comprehensive range offers units with cooling capacities from 185 to 1630 kW, making them suitable for a wide array of cooling and heating demands.
Function Description:
The CWW 702-V÷5602-V series units are designed to produce chilled water for air conditioning systems or process cooling, and in heat pump versions, they can also provide hot water for heating. The core of the system is a refrigeration circuit that utilizes screw compressors. These compressors are known for their high efficiency and reliability, especially in variable load conditions. The units incorporate an evaporator for heat exchange with the water circuit and a condenser for rejecting or absorbing heat from an external source (typically a cooling tower or a dry cooler for chillers, or an external heat source for heat pumps).
The control system is managed by a microprocessor, which allows for precise regulation of operating parameters and set-points. This microprocessor-based control ensures optimal performance, energy efficiency, and reliable operation. It can manage up to four compressors, offering flexibility and redundancy. Key functions include monitoring water inlet and outlet temperatures, identifying and displaying system blocks via alphanumeric codes, controlling one or two pumps, and managing compressor and pump sequencing for even wear and extended lifespan. The system also features frost protection, remote on/off capabilities, manual operation, and various alarm signals for high/low pressure, oil, overload, antifreeze, and flow switch errors.

Construction Features:
The units are built with a galvanized steel frame, protected by polyester powder painting, ensuring durability and resistance to environmental factors. The frame is designed for easy access to internal components for maintenance and repair. The refrigeration circuit includes semi-hermetic screw compressors, an oil separator, crankcase heater, sight glass, thermal protection, and antifreeze protection. The shell and tube type evaporator and condenser are designed for easy maintenance. Each refrigerant circuit is equipped with an independent condenser.
Noise Levels:
Sound pressure levels are measured in free field conditions at 1m distance and 1.5m height from the ground. For example, the 702-V model has a total sound pressure level of 73.6 dB(A) (STD version), while the 5602-V model has 82.3 dB(A) (STD version). SSL (Super Silent Low Noise) versions are available, offering reduced noise levels. For instance, the 702-V SSL has 67.8 dB(A), and the 5602-V SSL has 76.2 dB(A). A tolerance of +/- 3 dB(A) should be considered based on installation type (DIN 45635).
Usage Features:
- Microprocessor Control: The advanced microprocessor allows for precise control of set-points and operating parameters, offering flexibility and efficiency.
- Remote Display (optional): An optional remote display allows for monitoring and control from a distance.
- Serial Interface (RS 485): For connection to centralized control and supervision systems.
- Pressostatic Valve (PV3) (optional): A 3-way pressostatic valve for condensation control.
- Antivibration Dampers (AG/AM) (optional): Rubber or spring shock absorbers can be installed at the base to reduce vibrations.
