BITZER

The ECOLINE series contains some of the most popular semi-hermetic reciprocating compressors from BITZER – it raises the bar in terms of energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, ease of use and reliability. ECOLINE reciprocating compressors offer maximum energy efficiency in full-load and part-load and are designed for a very extensive range of applications in supermarkets and beyond. One of the benefits of the series is that it offers maximum freedom in the selection of the refrigerant. Whether new climate-friendly refrigerants, such as R1234yf and R1234ze(E), low-GWP blends or natural refrigerants, users will always find a suitable, eco-friendly solution in ECOLINE.

With the BITZER scroll compressors ORBIT FIT and ORBIT+, contractors can meet legal requirements such as those of the F-gas Regulation and the Ecodesign Directive: as with the basic ORBIT 6 and ORBIT 8 models, both compressor series are compatible with A1 and A2L refrigerants. ORBIT+ features a line-start permanent-magnet motor and, like the ORBIT FIT with economiser technology, is synonymous with increased cooling capacity, efficiency and application limits. Both can also be operated with external frequency inverters such as the VARIPACK series by BITZER – and that within a frequency range of between 35 and 75 Hz.

BITZER has expanded its range of condensing units with a new series: the seven air cooled models in the ECOLITE series have been designed for low and medium temperature applications and are available in an attractive housing. The three LHL3E ECOLITE condensing units with one fan and the four LHL5E models with two fans open up a wide range of applications, from 1.5 kW to 5 kW in the low temperature range and from 3.5 kW to 16 kW in the normal temperature refrigeration range. Its compact, low noise design as well as the use of efficient components in combination with the capacity control of the semi-hermetic compressors make ECOLITE exceptionally adaptable.

BITZER will present a world premiere at Chillventa 2018 with its new, powerful, water cooled condensers for fresh water and seawater. With capacities of up to 1 MW, these new condensers have the properties of the well-known K condensers such as a compact design, low-fouling heat exchanger piping and high corrosion resistance. Additionally, BITZER will present its high-capacity CRF compressors and powerful SQD tube bundle evaporators. The unique quadratic evaporators achieve the highest efficiency currently attainable for dry expansion heat exchangers.

One section of the BITZER HEXPV stand is reserved for CO₂ solutions. This section will contain the new WGC tube bundle gas coolers for transcritical applications with 120-bar design pressure and high protection against thermal and pressure-related fatigue, as well as a liquid receiver from the proven F series for subcritical CO₂ applications.

BEST software, BEST App and BITZER SPOT App
The BEST software (BITZER Electronics Service Tool) makes it much easier for service engineers to do their work, as it allows them to quickly and safely adjust device parameters, analyse errors, display operating data, update the firmware and more. BITZER has updated the tool for commissioning, monitoring and servicing compressors and their electronic components, now available in version 2.9. Among other things, the update features newly added refrigerants and BITZER products, completes the alarm help texts, and boasts a new documentation tab containing the full documentation for Modbus RTU. Users can now also take advantage of the benefits of the BEST software on the go using the BEST App.

Another helpful tool for air-conditioning and refrigeration professionals has been on the App Store and Google Play since late August 2018: the BITZER SPOT App enables users to verify the authenticity of their BITZER products. Additionally, it contains extensive documentation and a directory of all BITZER and Green Point service points as well as all certified dealers.

B-SAFE and B-READY
With a network of more than 50 Green Points and 70 authorised service centres around the world, BITZER supports its customers with individual solutions and services. BITZER customers can therefore rely on tailored support even after purchase: the B-SAFE service package helps install the systems, whilst the B-READY service package allows BITZER experts to regularly check the products following commissioning and retrofit them as required.
