Clivet’s 3 Types of Centrifugal Chillers

Clivet offers several types of central chillers at varying price points. One of the most popular among clients worldwide is the Centrifugal Chiller, available in three distinct types to meet diverse building or industrial requirements:


1. Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller

This is one of Clivet’s latest innovations, offering a high-efficiency, oil-free cooling solution.

Key Features:

  • Magnetic Bearing Technology
    Unlike conventional chillers that use mechanical bearings and lubrication, this unit uses magnetic fields to suspend the rotating components, eliminating physical contact.
    This results in frictionless operation, reduced wear and tear, and significantly extended equipment life.

  • Oil-Free Operation
    The absence of lubrication minimizes maintenance costs and enhances overall energy efficiency.

  • Stable Performance
    Dual protection via self-generating control mode and backup bearings ensures stable operation even under demanding conditions.

  • Low Noise
    Designed to operate at noise levels below 70 dB(A), making it ideal for noise-sensitive environments.


2. Inverter Direct-Drive Centrifugal Chiller

This model combines centrifugal chiller technology with an inverter-driven compressor, offering energy-saving benefits with a competitive central AC price point.

Key Features:

  • Inverter Compressor
    The compressor adapts its speed based on load demands, enabling efficient operation across varying conditions.

  • High Energy Efficiency
    Precise control over compressor output helps optimize performance and minimize energy consumption.

  • Part-Load Efficiency
    Designed to perform efficiently even under low part-load conditions—common in many HVAC applications.

  • BMS Compatibility
    Easily integrates with Building Management Systems (BMS) for seamless monitoring and control.

  • Eco-Friendly Design
    With smooth, low-vibration operation and fast load adaptation, it ensures quieter performance and reduced carbon emissions.


3. High Efficiency & Super High Efficiency Centrifugal Chiller

These models are engineered for superior performance and advanced energy savings.

Key Features:

  • Built-In Inverter Technology
    Like the previous model, this unit includes an inverter that dynamically adjusts compressor speed to match real-time cooling demands.

  • Innovative Compressor Design
    Features a specially engineered impeller that improves air compression efficiency—crucial for reducing overall energy use.

  • Optimized Airflow Design
    The system is precisely engineered to maintain stable air temperatures through aerodynamic impeller profiles.

  • Smart Sensors & Intelligent Controls
    Real-time environmental monitoring ensures optimal performance via automated system adjustments.

  • Environmentally Friendly
    These chillers are designed to reduce carbon emissions while maintaining maximum performance and efficiency.
