Smart Modular Chiller 35-2240 kW
BMS-Ready Heat Pump ESG Compliant R32 - The Chiller That Speaks Your Building's Language - Modular Intelligence for a Net-Zero Future
Product Overview
The Midea Air Cooled Modular Chiller family represents a data-generating, sustainability-enabling platform designed for seamless integration into modern smart-building ecosystems. Available in three sub-series - Aqua Thermal (R32), King (R410A), and King Plus (R410A) - these systems span 35 kW to 180 kW per module and can cascade into plants up to 2,240 kW across 256 modules.
Each module functions as an intelligent node with independent refrigerant circuits, dedicated sensors, local diagnostics, and real-time energy metering. This architecture transforms chiller management from reactive troubleshooting into predictive, data-driven asset optimization.
Key Features
Granular Energy Visibility Through Module-Level Intelligence
Each modular chiller unit operates as an intelligent node with real-time energy metering, compressor run-hour tracking, and fault logging. The master controller aggregates data into unified protocol output for comprehensive energy monitoring.
- Individual module reporting of energy consumption, COP, and fault status
- Master controller aggregation into single BMS-friendly protocol stream
- ISO 50001-compliant energy monitoring and baseline verification
- GRESB and CDP reporting with auditable, time-stamped energy records
- Continuous automated performance tracking replaces manual audits
R32 Low-GWP Refrigerant Strategy for Regulatory Compliance
The Aqua Thermal series operates on R32 with GWP of 675, approximately 75% lower than R410A, directly reducing Scope 1 emissions and simplifying regulatory compliance.
- R32 refrigerant with GWP 675 - 75% lower carbon impact than R410A
- Simplifies compliance with EU F-Gas Phase-Down and regional regulations
- Reduces Scope 1 emissions for corporate carbon accounting
- Standardized refrigerant per site reduces leak-reporting complexity
Phased Deployment for Green-Building Certification
Modular installation capability aligns with green-building certification requirements, allowing capacity to match actual occupancy with documented efficiency data for certification submissions.
- Initial capacity deployment as low as 30% of total design
- Each expansion phase generates documented efficiency data
- A++ energy class contributes to LEED and BREEAM credits
- R32 option satisfies Materials and Resources requirements
BMS-Ready Virtual Plant Architecture
Despite comprising potentially hundreds of modules, the cascaded plant presents as a single logical entity to building management systems through master controller management.
- Master controller presents entire cascade as one virtual chiller
- Modbus RTU communication with optional BACnet gateway
- Real-time aggregated COP and total plant load data
- Predictive maintenance alerts across any module
- Automated demand response capability
EVI Heat-Pump Operation Eliminating Fossil-Fuel Heating
EVI compressor technology enables rated heating output at -20°C ambient without supplementary heaters or boilers, transforming the system into a complete year-round climate solution.
- Rated heating output maintained at -20°C ambient
- Eliminates Scope 1 emissions from gas boilers
- Consolidates heating and cooling into one electric platform
- Operating envelope spans -20°C heating to 48°C cooling
Inherent Reliability Without Redundancy Waste
Modular architecture delivers inherent N+1 redundancy through distributed capacity, eliminating the need for dedicated standby units and their associated embodied carbon.
- Inherent N+1 redundancy without dedicated standby investment
- Loss of any single module leaves over 99% capacity available
- Eliminates embodied carbon waste from idle standby units
- Automatic cascade re-sequencing within seconds of outage
