The new controls also include Modbus RTU communications as standard to allow easy integration of the chillers with injection-molding machine controls or plant-wide process monitoring systems. In addition, the new control system is fully compatible with the SmartServices\u2122 platform &#8212; Conair\u2019s cloud-based Industry 4.0 solution for auxiliary equipment monitoring, management, and analysis.<\/p>\n<p>An optional, premium EP2 control system provides an expanded PLC system that provides additional communications capabilities like:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Modbus TCP\/IP<\/li>\n<li>BACnet MS\/TP<\/li>\n<li>BACnet\/IP<\/li>\n<li>LonWorks<\/li>\n<li>OPC\/UA<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The Conair EP2 chillers include many industry-leading design features. They are among the most energy-efficient chillers on the market, incorporating standard high-efficiency stainless steel brazed plate evaporators, stainless steel pumps, and Scroll compressors. For maximum flexibility and efficiencies under varying part-load conditions, the EP2 chillers offer variable-speed Scroll compressors technology options on 5-, 10-, 15-, 20-, and 30-ton water-cooled and air-cooled chillers. By automatically adjusting the compressor speed, the optional variable-speed chillers work only as hard as necessary to provide optimum performance with significantly reduced power use.<\/p>\n<p>EP2 air-cooled units are equipped with generously sized micro-channel condensers designed for industrial environments. Water-cooled units use cleanable shell-and-tube condensers and include a condenser-water regulating valve to provide constant head pressure. Remote condenser units are available to direct all heat outside the building.<\/p>\n<p>All EP2 chillers meet severe-duty industrial cooling needs and provide additional resistance to harsh fluid conditions and operating environments. They feature stainless-steel pumps, stainless-steel evaporators, and a process-fluid circuit with corrosion-resistant materials to prevent rust and ensure clean, dependable operation for many years.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Conair Group (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.conairgroup.com\/cn\">www.conairgroup.com<\/a>) is a leading global supplier of auxiliary equipment for plastics processors, including resin drying systems, blenders, feeders and material-conveying systems, temperature-control equipment and granulators.
