Features
Wider Operable Ambient Temperature Range
Can tolerate up to 50 °C summers with its harsh-condition specifications. (Optional setting required.)*1 Our chillers can also exhibit maximum performance in factory environments where hot air flows tend to accumulate. Not only that, but you can count on continuing performance even in outside installations at winter temperature as cold as –20 °C.*2
*1 Does not apply to RKE15000B-VW models.
*2 Air-cooled models only. Requires freeze-prevention mode to be enabled.
Wider Operating Temperature Range (Liquid Temperature)
The operating temperature (liquid temperature) range has widened even further in the low region with a range of 3 to 35 °C.
Pump is also Inverter Driven
The compressor, and the fan AND the pump are Inverter Driven!
Being able to achieve just the required flow rate eliminates waste, even without bypass-valve control.
The pump control method can be selected.
In addition to setting the operating frequency, it is also possible to set the flow rate based on an estimated flow rate standard, or set the water pressure. Operation possible at the optimum flow rate or pressure in accordance with the load.
Intelligent Touch Panel
Settings and operating conditions can be visually and intuitively checked and operated via the touch panel controller.
The displayed language can be changed to English or Chinese.

Graph Screen
Easy operation with just the flick of a switch!Error code display gives important information about the alarm. Allows for quick restore after an issue.
Touching the "Measured Liquid Temp" button will change the display to the Graph screen where changes in liquid temperature will be graphed over a particular time period (up to 53 hours) in order to better aid in liquid temperature management.
Operating Rate (Power Indicator)
Easy operation with just a press of a button!Error code display gives important information about the alarm. Allows for quick restore after an issue.
Shows the operating state of the compressor on a 10-level display to allow for easy confirmation of current operating conditions.
Measured Pressure
Touching "Measured Pressure" brings up a screen where the flow rate setting can easily be changed.
Menu
Touching "Menu" allows easy setting and confirmation of various parameters, error history, accumulated running time of primary components, timer functions, etc.
Timer Setting
Touching the "0:00:00" start time allows setting of designated start/stop settings. Actions can be repeated or set according to the day.
Easy Maintenance / Alarm Display
Alarm numbers are displayed when alarm conditions occur.
Touching the "Details" button will bring up further details about the alarm and information on what measures to take.

[Air Cooled] Specifications
*1 When operating with cooling water temp: 20 °C; ambient temp: 32 °C. Cooling capacity will be at least 95% of the displayed power.
*2 Only during startup, and will differ depending on the ambient temperature.
*3 Continuous current load fluctuation within ±10%, and with stable ambient temperature and power supply, etc. Does not include starting times or when the compressor may cycle on and off due to very low cooling loads.
*4 The source voltage phase unbalance should be within ±3%.
*5 The figure noted is when the product is operating at the highest capacity within its normal operating range.
*6 Comes standard with a built-in multi-purpose overload and short circuit protection earth leakage breaker.
*7 Operating noise levels are from a position of 1 m in front of the product and at a height of 1 m.
*8 If operating with a set temperature down to 0 to 3 °C, then use a 30% to 40% solution of industrial-use ethylene glycol.
Note 1: The recommended liquid (chilled water) for use in this product is clean water or a 30% to 40% solution of industrial-use ethylene glycol. However, when doing so, there will be a 10% drop in cooling capacity. Alternatively, if conditioned water is used, then it should have an electrical conductivity of at least 1 µS/cm.
Note 2: Heat output from the product (in kW) is approx. 1.3 times that of the cooling capacity.

* The graph shows the actual measured external flow rate when the bypass valve is closed.
* The inverter changes the frequency, thus changing the flow rate.
* The hatched area indicates the possible range of adjustment based on frequency changes.
