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.
