III. Detailed Model Overview
The ZR125KC-TFD is the 10 HP workhorse of the Large Commercial Series, delivering a cooling capacity of 31,000–37,500 W (106,000–128,000 Btu/h), input power of 9,000–9,130 W, and a leading COP of 3.43. It features a displacement of 167.2 cc/Rev. (28.0 m³/h), net weight of 42–63 kg, and noise level of 80 dBA. It operates on three-phase 380-420V/50Hz power and is designed for R22 refrigerant.
Its COP of 3.43 ranks among the highest in the ZR series, meaning it produces 3.43 kW of cooling for every 1 kW of electricity consumed. Copeland Scroll™ axial and radial compliance technology ensures excellent reliability and high efficiency, while its low oil circulation rate and superior liquid slug resistance guarantee stable operation under complex working conditions. For 10 HP class applications such as large commercial AC, industrial cooling systems, and chillers, the ZR125KC-TFD provides ample cooling reserve and outstanding operational economy with 37.5 kW robust capacity and a high 3.43 efficiency ratio. This model supports dual and triple parallel operation with同类 units, reaching a maximum combined capacity of up to 180 HP.
The ZR160KCE-TFD-455 is the 13 HP high-capacity model of the Large Commercial Series, with a displacement of 209.1 cc/Rev. (36.4 m³/h), cooling capacity of 33,400–45,000 W (118,000–154,000 Btu/h), input power of 11,000 W, current of 28.0 A, and COP of 3.28. It features a 3.38 L oil charge and 65 kg net weight. It operates on three-phase 380-420V/50Hz power and is compatible with multiple refrigerants including R407C, R134a, and R513A.
This model adopts two-stage suction technology, enabling smoother compression and stronger liquid slug resistance, making it especially suitable for scenarios with extremely high reliability requirements. The ZR160KCE-TFD-455 features an optimized high-temperature heat dissipation path; when paired with matching units in a 40°C outdoor environment, discharge temperature can still be kept below 105°C. For 13 HP class applications such as large commercial AC, data center cooling, and industrial refrigeration, the ZR160KCE-TFD-455 provides ample cooling reserve with 45 kW of robust capacity and multi-refrigerant compatibility. This model is widely used in special air conditioning systems ranging from split ACs, rooftop units, and unitary systems to chiller systems.
