Advantage APT-RC Series Central Chillers

No — APT-RC is refrigeration only (compressor, evaporator and a remote air-cooled condensing section). Every module requires a separate pump tank station to circulate fluid through your process loop.

Its model number tracks total compressor horsepower (4×25 HP = 100 HP), not tonnage. The published, actual cooling capacity is 90 tons — size and quote this unit off that figure. The same pattern applies to the CCC-150APT-RC (6×25 HP = 150 HP, 135 tons actual).

Yes — multiple modules can parallel onto the same station to reach a plant-wide total well beyond what any single packaged chiller carries. Send us the station's existing pump curve and reservoir volume along with the additional tonnage you need.

APT-RC modules are air-cooled with a remote condensing section on its own line set. WPT modules are water-cooled, rejecting heat to condenser water instead, with no remote condenser or outdoor footprint. Both require a separate pump tank station.

An Advantage APT-RC module has two process connections. Process Water In is piped rigidly from the pump tank station, which sends warm return water from the process to the module. Process Water Out goes to the chilled side of the station's reservoir, and the station's pump supplies the process. Put a high-volume basket strainer or bag filter, 20 mesh (400 micron) or finer, with isolation valves on the incoming line; wye strainers don't hold enough debris. Piping must be rated for 100°F and 100 PSI and be at least connection size. Insulate the lines to prevent condensation and capacity loss.

The refrigerant piping between the module and its remote condenser is field supplied and installed: refrigerant-grade copper joined with high-temperature phos-copper, never soft solder or water pipe. The installer adds discharge line check valves after the oil separator, shut-off valves in the hot gas and liquid lines, relief valves and recovery ports at the condenser, and inverted traps. Support the lines near the coil on runs longer than 50 ft. A certified refrigeration technician evacuates and charges the system under load. Advantage builds the refrigerant receiver and oil separator into every APT-RC module, so those are not field items.

Yes. Each APT-RC module runs on Advantage's MZC III multizone instrument with one intelligent zone board per refrigeration circuit, and those zone boards can connect to a Titan chiller's display board, so the added capacity runs as part of the same system. One instrument handles up to six refrigeration circuits. On dual and triple circuit modules each circuit runs independently, which gives finer capacity staging and lets the other circuits keep cooling while one is down. Modbus RTU or SPI is standard; Modbus TCP and a remote display are options.
