The dawn of a new era in industrial cooling
The Atlas Copco TCX series is a compact all-in-one The innovative, familiar Elektronikon® MkV Touch
water chiller with an air-cooled condenser and controller comes as standard (from TCX11A) putting
integrated hydro module. The TCX chillers are control at the user’s fingertips. SMARTLINK 24/7
specially designed for cooling water (or a mixture of monitoring, as with all Atlas Copco equipment, is
water and glycol) for a wide range of industrial available as part of the total package. The TCX range
processes, including food and beverage, machine can also be covered on a single-service contract with
cooling, medical, pharmaceutical, plastics, and all other Atlas Copco mechanical equipment,
printing. including air compressors, dryers, nitrogen
generation systems and low-pressure blowers.
The launch of the TCX range of process chillers fits
perfectly with the company ethos of going further “Complete your efficiency package with
and deeper into core categories to better serve our
the new TCX range of industrial chillers”
customers. The TCX chillers are the first products in
our new industrial cooling portfolio. We have
incorporated our 145+ years of design experience in
the new range. The TCX range maximizes efficiency
and comes with the reliability and performance
customers expect, and demand, from an Atlas Copco
product. We have taken a product and put our own
innovation stamp on it. You will see this when you
look at the design, service features and connectivity
of the chiller.
TCX process cooling chillers
Reliability Guaranteed
Industrial chillers are an essential part of your process, we fully understand that
downtime is not an option. The refrigeration circuit on the TCX range utilizes a
hermetically sealed scroll compressor with crankcase heater, epoxy coated aluminum
microchannel condensers and stainless-steel evaporator. The cooling water circuit is
designed with an industry proven stainless steel circulation pump with an IE3 motor,
stainless steel buffer tank, and safety flow switch.
All Way Efficiency
The TCX range complies with next generation efficiency directives to reach the highest
level of energy savings. The design of the TCX state of the art microchannel condensers
require 30% less refrigerant, improving environmental impact, while lowering potential
maintenance costs over the life of the chiller.
Plug and Play
The new TCX packaged chiller offering provides an integrated all in one and ready to use
solution for quick installation at the customer’s site. The external canopy boasts an IP54
rating and the chillers can be installed both indoors and outdoors (from TCX11A). This allows
you to save internal space, optimize the distribution of cooling water and also permit to work
with cold winter air temperature to gain efficiency for your chiller. The integrated pump and
tank design allows you to reduce footprint, installation and commissioning costs.
Simple Service
The chiller is designed for easy access of the installed components and for the simplest
service experience. The refrigeration system is in the front and the cooling water
circulation assembly in the back. The oversized canopy doors and thoughtful layout
reduces maintenance time and allows for easy inspection, helping to prevent
breakdowns. A customized service plan is available through the local Atlas Copco
service team.
Connectivity
The TCX chiller offering (from TCX11A) is designed with the Elektronikon® MkV Touch
screen controller to ensure control and monitoring is at your fingertips. The MkV Touch
screen controller includes built in SMARTLINK remote monitoring capability. SMARTLINK
collects operational data from the chiller and provides customer’s machine data, in real
time, in a clear format to ensure the TCX running at optimal efficiency.

Stainless steel components
The storage tank and hydraulic parts of the centrifugal pumps are
stainless steel and are factory installed and tested. They prevent
process water contamination with rust particles and provide higher
levels of reliability and temperature control.

State-of-art microchannel condensers
The coated simple all-aluminum microchannel design is lightweight
and designed to provide long life period without corrosion. This
unique design results in 30 percent less refrigerant charge compared
to other standard types of heat exchangers, making them more

The fully hermetically sealed refrigerant compressor prevents
refrigerant gas from leaking and requires zero maintenance.
The phase sequence relay has no risk of compressor failure in 1
case of changing power supply.

Robust and sound attenuated
canopy design
The IP54 rated canopy design with galvanized steel structure is
painted with epoxy-polyester powder. This allows you to use the
new Atlas Copco TCX chiller indoors and outdoors, with ambient
temperatures down to -50°F without any need for additional
protection. The sound-attenuated canopy also reduces noise levels
allowing the chiller to be installed in a normal working environment.

Reliable cooling
The units are air cooled with cost-effective on/off regulation axial
4 fans as part of the standard scope of supply. The fans are simple and
robust for increased lifetime. Fan speed regulation (phase-cut and
EC fans) options are available to allow operation in lower ambient
temperatures.

operation
The TCX range features a wide range of safety devices, such as flow
and level switches, thermal probes, pressure probes, crankcase
heating and strainers allows you to operate the chiller securely. The
2 controller, which combines all the chiller sensors into one system,
issues timely warnings in case of deviation of the operating
parameters from the standard values.
