Overview

Compact size without compromise.

The Trane® Agility magnetic bearing centrifugal chiller offers a compact, efficient, and sustainable thermal management solution. Ideal for new construction and existing buildings, the Agility chiller helps lower installation costs while modernizing system performance and versatility.

  • Capacity Range: 175-850 tons
  • Refrigerant: R-513A
  • Compressor Type: Centrifugal, Magnetic Bearing
  • Medium Pressure
  • Controller: Symbio® 800

  1. Energy-Efficient Operation

    With full-load and Integrated Part Load Values (IPLV) that outperform the ASHRAE® 90.1-2022 standard, the Agility magnetic bearing water-cooled chiller helps reduce electrical consumption and demand charges, contributing to lower operating expenses. 

  2. Performance Backed by Trane

    The Agility magnetic centrifugal chiller features an oil-free, two-stage centrifugal compressor with a permanent magnet motor for stable operation across a wide range of operating conditions.

  3. Space-Saving Design, Cost-Effective Installation

    The Agility magnetic bearing water-cooled chiller features bolt-together construction and narrow footprint making installation easier in retrofits and tight mechanical rooms. The compact footprint minimizes structural modifications cutting labor, disruption, and installation cost.

  4. Reduce Your Environmental Footprint

    The Agility magnetic bearing water-cooled chillers use low-GWP R-513A, offering a 55% reduction in global warming potential compared to R-134a.

FAQs

Your questions about the Agility® Magnetic Bearing Centrifugal Chiller, answered.

The Agility chiller is available from 175 tons - 850 tons.

Yes! Agility has available options for integrated heat recovery up to 130°F (54°C). Please contact your local Trane Representative for more information.

The Agility chiller's motor voltage is 208-600V for the HDWA model and 460-600V for the HDTA model.

Yes! The Agility chiller with bolt-together design balances size and efficiency. The HDWA fits through a standard double door (72-inch by 80-inch) fully assembled and can easily be disassembled into two sections that fit through a single door (34-inch x 80-inch). The HDTA can be disassembled into sections to pass through a standard double door (72-inch by 80-inch).

The Agility chiller features an oil-free, two-stage centrifugal compressor with a permanent magnet motor for stable operation across a wide range of operating conditions.

Agility’s compressor utilizes magnetic bearings, which allow it to operate at higher speeds, eliminating the need for gears.

Agility chillers use low-GWP, medium-pressure refrigerant R-513A, offering a 55% reduction in global warming potential compared to R-134a. Benefits of using medium pressure refrigerant include high efficiency, high reliability, and low leak rates. With less refrigerant volume, medium pressure refrigerant also allows Agility to have a smaller footprint compared to chillers using high-pressure refrigerants.

A magnetic bearing chiller uses electromagnetic fields to suspend and stabilize the compressor shaft, avoiding direct contact between moving parts. This technology allows the compressor to operate without oil for lubrication.

One of the major advantages of magnetic bearings is their ability to handle higher speeds. Rolling elements and hydrodynamic bearings have upper limits when it comes to speed, but magnetic bearings allow these limits to be significantly increased. Higher speeds can be advantageous for compressor designers because increasing the impeller's speed allows for a smaller impeller, resulting in a more compact compressor and chiller. Using magnetic bearings also eliminates oil systems, removing the need for oil in the chiller.
