SMS is proud to partner with WaterFurnace Commercial Solutions Group, which recently announced its new variable speed options for the WC Modular Scroll Chiller line. Thirty- and 50-ton units are now available with a variable-speed compressor paired to a single-speed scroll compressor for maximum efficiency, capacity control, and an 8:1 turndown ratio. Whether you’re planning a new building or want to replace aging equipment, the WC Modular Chiller’s modular cabinet design and patented 6-pipe removable header rack are a perfect fit. With industry-exclusive simultaneous heating and cooling capabilities, heat recovery, and industry-leading efficiencies, it becomes clear that our WC Modular Chiller is Redefining Flexibility for the commercial and industrial markets.

Simultaneous Heating & Cooling from a single unit – In applications with a diverse heating and cooling load, our patented 6-pipe header rack can provide simultaneous heating and cooling, which is unique in the industry. 4-pipe header racks can be combined with 6 pipe header racks to meet the heat recovery capacity required for any project.

Easy Integration and Control - WC Modular Chillers come with our HydroLink2 Aurora advanced controls for full communication between components. Our Supervisory controller simplifies integration into a Building Management System and provides remote accessibility along with the automatic optimization and staging of all units in a system.

Ease of installation – WC Modular Chillers are designed to fit on freight elevators and through standard doorways and come with fork pockets and lift points built into the cabinet. Unit modules can even be separated from their header rack for maximum maneuverability.

Ease of Service – Zero side clearance is required from walls or other equipment, and all refrigeration-side maintenance can be performed from the front, while water-side maintenance can be performed from the rear access panels. If needed, individual units can be pulled from the chiller bank for service or replacement - without interrupting the operation of adjacent units or conditioning to the building.

Peace-of-Mind Redundancy - N+1 modularity provides true independent function and fully redundant operation for buildings with critical loads. Independent design also provides power flexibility, with the ability to connect backup power to individual units.

Unmatched Flexibility – Modularity provides the flexibility to maintain project timelines or support multi-phase construction projects. Ship and install header racks separately and connect refrigeration components later.

Getting Up to Speed on Cooling Tower Designs

Engineered plastic cooling towers outlast metal designs, and can be constructed of unique antimicrobial resins which guard against Legionnaires and other health hazards. Conventional wisdom says that metal tends to be stronger, harder and more durable than its plastic counterparts. However, when comparing metal cooling towers to the latest engineered plastic options, that old, outdated logic is being laid to rest. Advanced high-density polyethylene (HDPE), our engineered plastic technology not only holds up better than metal towers, but has additional benefits like increased energy efficiency, lower maintenance and new antimicrobial options that make it a superior option.

Recently, the American Association of Nurse Anesthetists (AANA) woke up to find its metal cooling tower supporting the HVAC system at its headquarters in Park Ridge, Ill., was in disrepair. The professional association, which represents nearly 53,000 certified registered nurse anesthetists nationwide set longevity and reliability as its top priorities in replacing its old metal cooling tower.
