- Due to the very compact dimensions of the KTI Underground Chiller, it can be easily transported down through the mine shaft be used. The robust steel frame with protective housing also allows transport underground through the mine to any "hotspot" where cooling is required.
- The weather cooling machine is used as turnkey solution delivered. Only the water connections and the power supply must be connected on site.
- Thanks to its redundancy, the KTI Underground Chiller offers a exceptional efficiency and reliability. Three semi-hermetic piston compressors with the mexxFlow valve plate system® guarantee a constant supply of the required refrigeration capacity.
- Likewise, the Efficiency around 15% higher compared to conventional reciprocating compressors.
- The operation takes place via a waterproof switching and control unitwhich is equipped with a color touch control monitor. Via a TCP/IP connection it is possible to Remote access the plant is controlled.

KTI Underground Chiller (UC)
The KTI Underground Chiller (UC) is a mobile weather cooling machine specifically designed for underground mining applications. Both evaporator and condenser are designed to operate with heavily polluted and contaminated water and outperform conventional components in this application.
Due to its small footprint and mobility, the KTI Underground Chiller can be easily relocated at any time. This allows the weather chiller to be quickly deployed where it is needed most.
The KTI Underground Chillers are used as weather cooling machines especially for the expansion of underground mines.

Maximum mobility, flexibility and efficiency
The KTI Underground Chiller is the answer to the challenge of developing a chiller that can operate underground. With which heat removal can be achieved either by using water from a spray chamber, from a cooling tower or even the contaminated water from the underground network that must be pumped to the surface.
Weather chillers can also be used on the surface and moved underground at a later date. The Underground Chiller can be operated in high efficiency mode (COP = 5.77) using water from the underground network with water temperature of +17 ° C for heat removal (condensation). Alternatively, the standard mode is available using water from an underground cooling tower or spray chamber (COP = 3.89) with water inlet of +33 ° C.
Expert knowledge
