The new Turbomiser chiller with its Turbocor oil-less compressors is said to be breaking new ground in energy efficiency - a claim that is now being proven at high profile UK hotels.

Chillers based on the oil-less centrifugal Turbocor compressor have been around for a while. Their compact design, variable speed capability and magnetic bearings are known to deliver a combination of excellent performance and class leading energy efficiency. Now, however, leading Italian manufacturer Geoclima claims to have developed a new approach to harnessing the benefits of the innovative centrifugal machines that takes the technology an important stage further – and delivers unprecedented energy savings for clients. Recent high profile installations in the UK highlight the outstanding performance of the Turbomiser chiller, and substantiate the claims being made. The project was carried out recently at the world-famous Dorchester Hotel, on London’s Park Lane. The installation has a combined chiller capacity of 3MW, and involved the installation of three Turbomiser chillers, model TMA 1050/34, each in turn housing three high efficiency Turbocor compressors. The plant was supplied by Wimbledon-based specialist Klima-Therm/LH-PLC, while consulting engineer on the project was Cudd Bentley Consulting (Birmingham office), and the installer All Group Services.
