Product Description
Cascaded refrigeration systems are equipped with two separate refrigeration circuits using two different refrigerants. One of these circuits operates at warmer temperatures (> -20°C) while the other circuit operates at colder temperatures (-80° C to -20° C). The warmer circuit cools the low temperature circuit. This is the most efficient and powerful type of refrigeration system for cooling applications below -50° C.
The Aptia R900-ULT cascaded refrigeration system includes an onboard tank for coolant and a powerful magnetically coupled pump to circulate the coolant to your process and back. This powerful chiller delivers an incredible 7.2 kW of cooling capacity @ -60° C and 3.3 kW @ -75° C. Using the Aptia R900-ULT chiller to cool your extraction process can save you 1,500 kg / day of liquid CO2 or 3,000 kg / day of liquid Nitrogen. This is roughly $50,000 per month in savings. Aptia’s R900-ULT chiller provides incredible reliability and performance with an outstandingly short ROI.
