Water Cooled Chiller Systems Water-cooled chillers are refrigeration systems that use the vapor compression cycle to make cold water that absorbs heat from a building or process and rejects it to the outside air using an evaporative cooling tower. With a broad range of innovative noise and vibration control solutions designed specifically to address the multiple noise sources from water-cooled chillers, we help you achieve measurable peace and quiet. Whether your challenges include compressor noise, structure-borne noise, or radiated noise from refrigerant lines, vessels, and unit casing, let us customize an effective solution in coordination with obstruction and other equipment nearby.

Standard

STANDARD™ “SL” SYSTEM
This is a compressor only treatment using HUSH COVERS for chillers that utilize Scroll Compressors. We require a compressor make and model number or dimensional drawing prior to fabrication.

STANDARD™ “SC” SYSTEM
This is a treatment of the compressor circuits for chillers with Screw Compressors. HUSH COVERS are used for the compressor housing, suction and discharge piping and oil separator vessels.

Premium

PREMIUM™ SYSTEM
The Premium™ System is a modular HUSH FLEX™ acoustical curtain enclosure consisting of a galvanized steel skeletal framework with sliding perimeter panels suspended from track rails with roller trolleys. Velcro removable roof panels and a track valance complete the full enclosure capable of producing reductions of 10 to 12 dB(A). This option provides the lowest $ per dB(A) performance reduction.

PREMIUM PLUS™
The PremiumPlus™ System is a hybrid design combining the Standard™ System HUSH COVER™ source treatment for the compressor circuits with the Premium™ System HUSH FLEX™ acoustical curtain enclosure. This high performance hybrid system can achieve reductions of 12 to 15 dB(A).
