Discover the Artch character.

Artch is a product destined to revolutionise the air conditioning world. The Artch chiller combines an absolutely innovative design, made both to optimise performance and to blend harmoniously into any urban and architectural context, with great performance. Artch is a machine with low operating costs and very low environmental impact both in terms of energy consumption and of atmospheric pollution.

Artch - World preview

Expocomfort, Milan

Think different, go for a goal and always seek new inputs. These are the distinguishing features of the Team which created a new way of designing. This is our Artch character. In 2004 Artch, the R410A chiller with a revolutionary design covered by a patent, had a resounding success at the Exhibition Meeting Expocomfort in Milan. It only seemed to be a Dream Chiller, but now that dream has come true. This is witnessed by the first models installed in Spain because they were chosen by a prestigious architect for their unique design.

Giovanni Renna
Engineer, Managing Director Thermocold

One idea is not enough for us, it must lead to another one capable of arousing our interest, but with a strong development potential. Our considerations, the tests, come from the passion for our work and lead us to seek solutions with an even better performance. I assure you that the best is yet to come.

Artch immediately aroused great interest thanks to its innovative technological features including the use of the ecological coolant R410A and the newly designed scroll compressors, as well as its unique design in the international water chillers field. However, this is not all: Artch is also equipped with a touch-screen user interface which offers an immediate vision control and constant monitoring of all the operating parameters. Moreover the structure of the chiller allows easy access for maintenance by removing a single panel.

ADVANCED PERFORMANCES HIGHLY INNOVATIVE DESIGN

Creativity, research and development, these are our fundamental ideals. Basically, just by looking at Artch we can see that it is something capable of revolutionising the world of air conditioning.

Fans extracting from compartment

Thanks to this design characteristic, the compartment can be continuously flushed and thus ensures a constant temperature inside the machine, lower than the condensation temperature.

Air direction on the coil

Almost horizontal air direction for a better heat exchange and exploitation of the whole exchanger area.

Installation without limits

Even under roofs or in small spaces, thanks to the horizontal air flow, specially designed and unique for this category of chiller.

Artch provides a perfect blend of power, efficiency and performance. Apart from the use of the refrigerant R410A, high energy performances are guaranteed by the HSC Hybrid Smart Cooling system,

With Hybrid Smart Cooling the following kind of cooling unit is selected: smaller quieter lighter one which requires less water content one which requires less electrical power

covered by an international patent. Over certain temperature values, water cooling is added to the air condensation. Electric consumption remains the same, whereas the power provided by the cooling unit increases, respecting perfectly the plant requirements.

The EMWS Energy Multiplier for Water

Storage patent allows the storage of up to 50

kWh for every 1000 litres of water, to make it available when the power required by the plant exceeds the power supplied by the cooling unit. In this case too it is possible to select a much lower power cooling unit to that of a traditional chiller. We have managed to exploit the thermal and physical characteristics of R410A to the full to obtain maximum efficiency: indeed, as we know, low losses of load inside the piping,

lower circulating flow rates and the better heat exchange coefficient are the main qualities of this refrigerant and thanks to these features the important result of requiring smaller areas for exchanging the same heating or cooling capacity is obtained. Our choice consists of leaving the exchanging sizes and surfaces unchanged compared to R407C chillers, thus exploiting these positive features to increase the quantity of heat exchanged and as a consequence, optimise the refrigeration cycle.

Technical innovation and design, Thermocolds strong points at the 35th Expocomfort Show and Meeting. Over 3,000 exhibitors and 200,000 visitors in five days. These are the figures characterising the 35th edition of the Expocomfort Show and Meeting, in which Thermocold participated, presenting, as always, several new product ranges, all characterised by state of the art technology and design. Considering the great success obtained in the 2004 edition by the revolutionary Artch chiller, Thermocold has decided to repropose it, however, introducing new models with cooling capacity from 6 to 185 kW. Its technology is once again extremely highly developed: R410A as refrigerant and scroll compressor equipped with an inverter for constant modulation of the cooling capacity from 100% to 30%.

When developing our machines we have one main priority: protecting the environment and not only in terms of emissions and recycling, but as regards procedures in the production phase. This means energy savings, and as a consequence lower indirect environmental impact resulting from the emission of CO2 into the atmosphere when producing the electrical energy necessary for operating the units.

Today, because of increasingly high electrical energy costs and above all thanks to a greater awareness of the environment and of the problems connected to greenhouse gases, these improvements are now considered a fundamental goal.
