CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Carrier, part of Carrier Global Corp., is updating one of its most compact indoor chillers — the AquaSnap 30MP scroll chiller — to be more environmentally responsible and user friendly.

The AquaSnap 30MP will now come with the refrigerant R-32, which was chosen for its lower environmental impact, high energy efficiency, wide availability, and ease of use, a press release from Carrier said. In addition to utilizing a new refrigerant, the chiller has been modernized with new intelligent controls that provide an advanced, four-inch graphic display with BACnet MS/TP or IP.

The 30MP indoor chiller comes in condenserless and water-cooled versions. Its compact modular design makes it ideal for easy replacement, retrofit, or new construction applications, with the ability to pipe together up to eight chillers for increased capacity of up to 640 tons (2,250 kW), Carrier said.

Carrier is committed to using the best refrigerant for each application, and is shifting to lower-GWP refrigerants across its chiller offerings, with R-513A, R-515B, and R-1234ze(E) in medium-pressure centrifugal and screw chillers; R-1233zd(E) in low-pressure centrifugal chillers; and R-32 in scroll chillers, the company said,

The use of lower GWP refrigerants supports Carrier’s 2030 Environmental, Social & Governance (ESG) Goals, including helping customers avoid more than 1 gigaton of greenhouse gas emissions by 2030.

The AquaSnap 30MP is manufactured at Carrier’s commercial HVAC factory in Charlotte, North Carolina.
