ENERGY STAR

The Chiltrix ultra-high efficiency air-to-water heat pump CX34 has been awarded the ENERGY STAR 2019 Emerging Technology Award

We’re proud to celebrate ENERGY STAR Day! As an ENERGY STAR 2019 Award Winner, we understand the value of energy efficiency and helping our customers save energy and money. Learn more about our record-setting heat pump system at https://www.chiltrix.com

Chiltrix CX34 is compatible with heating, cooling, and domestic hot water, and can use any or all of these in the same installation. Also, Chiltrix can be used with radiant, as well as central ducted systems, or ductless room fan coil units, concealed ceiling units, a hot water tank, and any or all of these can be combined in the same installation.

Q3 2019 CX34 Technology Update
The past year has been a very busy time for our development team. Here’s some stuff that you may not know about (not listed in any particular order).

1. Onboard dynamic outdoor reset. This allows a user to make a custom reset curve using a Chiltrix-provided excel worksheet and then input the values into the CX34 controller. The result is the automatic optimization of loop supply temperature so that it is at its warmest on the coldest days, and runs at a more efficient temperature on milder days.

2. Optional CX34 WiFi Remote (also includes BACnet gateway). Monitor and control the CX34 from a web browser or iPhone/Android device and/or connect it to a BACnet building automation system. Also allows factory remote diagnostics. Special versions available for Metasys, LonWorks and more…

3. Onboard relay control (eliminates need for TSAT adapter). This allows an external controller or thermostat to switch the CX34 between heat/cool/off via customer provided relays.

4. On-board MOVs. Customers with dirty power were having board failures so we added some on-the-board transient voltage suppressors (1 ns reaction time) to help resolve this issue. We still suggest adding a standard surge suppressor.

5. New ultra-high spec 70-gallon stainless steel indirect tank. This tank is 304 stainless on the outside with 2205 stainless inside, huge 72’x1.25” 2205 convoluted coil (32 ft.^2) for fast recovery. It’s an absolutely gorgeous tank with astonishing performance.

6. Dual version V18-2. If you ever might need more than one of the awesome v18 dynamic variable backup heaters on the same CX34, now they can share a single controller. Save a few $$.

7. Concealed Ceiling Fan Coil Units with DC Inverter motors - these complement our line of DC inverter hydronic ducted air handlers. Not exactly new, but new for us & now on the menu.

Chiltrix CX34 Now Certified by the California Energy Commission - Title 21/24

The Chiltrix CX34 is now one of only a handful of air cooled heat pump chillers certified by the California Energy Commission. This unique patent-pending reverse cycle chiller provides heating, cooling, and hot water and is perfect for radiant heating, heating & cooling with fan coils, or a combo of both. Check out the details and efficiency of the CX34 on our website.

NEW! UL 60335-2-40
As you would expect, Chiltrix products are fully certified for sale in USA, Canada, and other locations under UL 1995. What may be interesting is that the new Chiltrix CX34 is certified to the newest and toughest UL standard, UL 60335-2-40. This standard is a replacement for the current UL 1995. This new standard is optional for heat pumps at this time, but will fully replace the current standard over the next 2-5 years. The new standard 60335-2-40 requires far more rigorous testing requirements for HVAC equipment than the current standard UL 1995.

Like UL 1995, the new UL testing protocols assess fire and electrical safety. However, the newer 60335-2-40 standard adds a number of additional criteria including stability, durability, performance, and more. While not required to do so, Chiltrix decided to use the newer, tougher standard as a way to provide the highest possible level of assurance and validation for the CX34. The Chiltrix CX34 is also certified to the current Canadian standard CSA 22.2.
