AEC has added a remote-cool option to its GPL series packaged chillers that will be available in 10 to 60 tons of capacity and can use environmentally friendly refrigerant.
The remote-cooled option allows heat to be released outdoors by locating the chiller condenser outside production facilities while the chiller remains indoors. This expansion complements the air- and water-cooled GPL models released in 2025, which range in capacity from 5 to 60 tons. All GPL chillers can also be adapted for full outdoor use, with both chiller and condenser located outside the production facility.
AEC completely redesigned its line of packaged chillers to include new user-friendly features, such as easier access to components for faster maintenance, a color touch screen for the controller, standard audible/visual alarm and lower height for larger models to facilitate shipping.
GPL packaged chillers can use either R-410A or R-454B refrigerant. R-454B is a low-GWP refrigerant that meets the stricter environmental requirements of 12 U.S. states and Canada. All GPL chillers operate in a fluid temperature range from 20°F to 80°F (-6.7°C to 26.7°C).
