Air-cooled chiller AQUAFORCE® 30XF

floor-mountedfree coolingcompact

Overview
Carrier’s AquaForce® 30XF is a high-performance air-cooled variable-speed screw chiller engineered for mission-critical applications such as data centers. It delivers reliable, efficient cooling with integrated free-cooling and is designed for ultra-fast capacity recovery and broad ambient operation ranges.

Key features

• High-efficiency cooling with variable-speed screw compressors
• Integrated free-cooling coils for reduced compressor runtime
• Micro channel condenser coils for compact, efficient heat rejection
• Rapid capacity recovery to full load
• Multiple acoustic and service configuration options

Performance and operation
The 30XF provides 400 to 500 tons of cooling capacity (1,400 – 1,758 kW) using low-GWP refrigerant R-513A. The unit achieves ultra-fast recovery to 100% load within three minutes and maintains reliable operation across a wide ambient range (-20°F to 140°F / -29°C to 60°C).

Advanced design & customization

• Variable-speed screw compressors for optimized part-load efficiency and precise control
• Micro channel condenser coils to reduce footprint and improve heat transfer
• Options including built-in harmonic filter or line reactor
• On-board and hydronic pump package options
• Multiple sound-attenuation configurations to meet site acoustic requirements

Reliability & maintenance
Constructed with ASME evaporators and heavy-gage galvanized steel frames, the unit includes coil trim panels and hail guards. It features diagnostic functions, permanently lubricated fan motor bearings and compressor suction service valves to simplify maintenance. Standard limited warranty: one year from start-up; three-year coil parts warranty; extended warranty options available.
