With the use of one
RTXA and one
RTAA HR, the two
chillers are able to
produce at the same
time a high amount of
chilled water and
ensure the supply of
hot water.
WINTER
In winter the RTXA
supplies the hot water.
At the same time the
RTAA HR can supply
chilled water when
needed and some
additional hot water.
