The global chiller market is competitive with the presence of a few major companies like Carrier Global Corporation, Mitsubishi Electric Corporation, Polyscience Inc., etc. The companies are continuously investing in making strategic partnerships and product developments to gain substantial market share. Some of the recent developments in the market are:
- February 2022 - Air-conditioning designer Fujinetsu and chiller manufacturer Meiwa, exhibited a new jointly developed prototype of a propane (R290) chiller for air-conditioning applications at the HVAC&R Japan 2022 trade show. According to the representatives of the companies, the prototype successfully completed cooling-capacity tests. The companies plan to conduct controls testing for one year and field testing for another. Their goal is to launch the product on the market in April of 2024. The unit would be available in 5 types with a cooling capacity ranging from 3.6-5.6kW (12,283.20-19,107.20BTU/h) and a heating capacity ranging from 4.0-6.3kW.
- June 2021 - Johnson Controls added the Quantech QWC4 water-cooled screw chiller to its chiller portfolio. It employs R-134a refrigerant, which has no ozone-depletion potential. As per the company, the chiller utilizes variable-speed drive technology to reduce energy costs and carbon emissions compared to traditional chillers. The chiller is intended for use with heat-rejection methods like an open cooling tower, dry cooler, adiabatic cooler, heat recovery, or heat pump.
