Turbocor Chiller Evaluation

The monitoring objective was to gather data in order to assess Turbocor technology performance and compare site data with manufacturer performance specifications. Turbocor is a frictionless, oil-free, variable speed, centrifugal compressor designed for mid-size chiller applications. The permanent magnet motor with built-in variable speed drive allows the system to match the compressor output to the load. The magnetic bearings allow frictionless operation of the impeller shaft and eliminate the need for any oil and related components. The control system allows for the ability to monitor and optimize performance, as well as integration with many building automation systems.
