Advantage Titan Series Central Chillers

Titan Series Indoor Central Chillers

Refrigeration, Pumps and Reservoir in One Package

Titan is Advantage's indoor central chiller platform — twenty-six standard packages from a 20-ton single-frame unit up to a 180-ton dual-zone split system, all built to sit inside a mechanical room with the compressor(s), evaporator, reservoir and process pump sharing one frame. Nothing about a Titan package is field-assembled from separate skids; it ships as one unit, gets set in place, plumbed and wired, and starts running the same week.

The line splits into two heat-rejection paths, and the choice between them is almost always a plant-water question rather than a tonnage question. Air-cooled Titan units reject heat through a remote condensing section — fans and coil on their own refrigerant line set, mounted outdoors or on a roof — so the mechanical room needs no tower connection, no plant water budget and no water treatment program. Water-cooled Titan units use city or tower condenser water instead, at the cost of a running water budget, but win on a smaller footprint per ton and a capacity that doesn't track outdoor ambient the way an air-cooled remote condenser does. If tower water is already piped to the mechanical room and isn't metered against the plant's utility bill, water-cooled is usually the better economic call at these tonnages; if it isn't, the air-cooled remote-condenser path avoids adding a water-treatment obligation to the plant's maintenance list.

Every Titan model below 150 tons runs fixed-speed or tandem Scroll compressors on R-454B, the same refrigerant family used across Advantage's Portable line. At 150 tons and up, the dual-zone WD-suffix models (TI-150WD, TI-180WD) switch construction entirely — two large rotary Screw compressors per unit, charged with R-513A instead of R-454B. That's not a paperwork difference: Screw compressors have different oil-return requirements, a different service interval, and different spare-parts stocking than a Scroll compressor, so treat those two models as their own product line when sourcing parts or planning maintenance rather than assuming Titan-wide interchangeability. One further note: TI-180W is listed with R-410A rather than the R-454B used across the rest of the single-zone Titan line, so confirm the refrigerant with us before ordering refrigerant-specific service parts for that unit.

Dual-zone Titan models (TI-120AD, TI-120WD, TI-150WD, TI-180WD) produce two independently controlled fluid temperatures from one chiller frame, with microprocessor-based zone boards handling individual compressor staging and (on most models) 50% hot-gas-bypass capacity control per zone. That's the answer when part of a plant needs a colder process fluid than the rest of it — injection molding tooling at one temperature and a hydraulic oil cooler at another, for example — without running two completely separate chiller packages and two separate mechanical-room footprints.

Capacity numbers on a handful of these models don't move in a straight line with the model number, and we've flagged every one on its own PN page rather than smoothing them into a tidy progression: the 100-ton-labeled TI-100A/W pair publishes 90 tons of actual capacity (four 25-HP compressors — the model number tracks total compressor horsepower, not tonnage, on this frame), and TI-120W's water-cooled capacity (127.8 tons) runs meaningfully above its air-cooled TI-120A sibling (120 tons) for the same nominal frame. None of that is a typo we're aware of; it's how Advantage's own pages publish these units, and we'd rather hand you the real number than round it to match the label.
