InstallationsDouglas, AZ – A solar thermal array supplies 210°F heat to the HeliChiller, which supplies 60 tons of 44° chilling to Cochise Community College. The COP of 0.75 makes this the highest efficiency low temperature heat-activated chiller available. Further savings are realized from the low parasitic power, as the required utility flow rates are only about 60% as high as for conventional heat-activated chillers.
