Buying scroll chillers in Bangladesh

A scroll chiller cools water with hermetic scroll compressors, usually several in one unit. Scroll compressors are compact and run smoothly, with fewer moving parts than reciprocating ones, so the chillers suit rooftops and small plant rooms where space and noise matter. Buyers in Bangladesh order them air cooled or water cooled, as single packages or as modules joined into a larger plant.

A scroll chiller supplier in Bangladesh should tell you how many compressors and circuits the unit has and how it follows the load. Roptan sends one specification to verified sellers, asks each that question in writing, and compares ratings at your roof air on the same basis. We deliver; the seller installs and commissions the unit.

Kinds of scroll chiller

Fixed speed, several compressors

Two or more scroll compressors step on and off as the load changes. Ask how many steps the unit has and how it holds the water temperature between them.

With a variable speed compressor

One compressor in the set runs on a variable speed drive, which raises part-load efficiency. Choose it where the load spends long hours below the peak.

Modular scroll chillers

Modules of various sizes joined to reach a larger tonnage. Choose them to build the plant in phases, or so the other modules carry the load when one is down.

Air cooled or water cooled

Most stand outdoors as air cooled packages. Water cooled scroll units sit indoors and need a tower, which suits a site that already runs one.

How to specify a scroll chiller

Load
The duty in TR or kW (1 TR is 3.517 kW), with the peak and the hours at part load.
Water temperatures
Comfort cooling is usually rated at 12 °C in and 7 °C out. A different spread changes the water flow for the same load.
Compressors and circuits
The number varies by model. Ask how many compressors and refrigerant circuits there are, and how the unit stages them at low load.
Capacity at your roof air
Nominal tonnage is not the cooling at every outdoor temperature. Ask for capacity at your hottest roof air; summer highs usually reach 38 to 41 °C.
Clearance and coils
Hot air that recirculates raises power and cuts capacity, so keep clear space around the condenser. Coils are copper and aluminium: ask about protection near the coast.
Roof or ground
Dhaka floods almost every year, so a ground unit needs a raised plinth and drainage. A roof unit needs a structural check and a lift plan.

Ratings to ask a scroll chiller supplier in Bangladesh for

AHRI certification
AHRI verifies capacity, efficiency, water pressure drop and IPLV of catalogue models to AHRI 550/590. A modular array built from certified chillers is not itself certified.
EN 14511 and EN 14825:2022
The European basis: the 2022 parts of EN 14511 for tested ratings, EN 14825 for part load and seasonal figures such as SEER.
EN 12102-1:2022
The method for a chiller's sound power level. Ask for sound power to it, not sound pressure at an unstated distance.
Kigali Amendment
Bangladesh ratified it on 8 June 2020 and is working towards an 85 percent cut in HFC use by 2045. Ask about service supply of the refrigerant.

What moves the price of a scroll chiller

  • The number of compressors and refrigerant circuits.
  • Fixed speed, or a variable speed compressor in the set.
  • Full-load and part-load efficiency: a unit tuned for part load gives up some full-load efficiency.
  • Air cooled units cost less to install, with no tower or condenser pumps, but use more electricity.
  • Running cost over a life that can pass 25 years, which usually outweighs the gap between quotes.

Lead times and delivery

Smaller standard scroll chillers are the kind dealers sometimes hold in stock abroad, which shortens the wait. Larger, modular or special units are usually built to order, and the factory slot, sea freight to Chattogram and customs clearance come on top. Roptan confirms the date in the quote.

A scroll chiller is usually craned onto a roof or set on a plinth. We plan the lift with you and check the structure. The seller connects the chilled water with pumps, expansion tank and strainers, connects the supply and commissions the unit. Ask whether pumps and accessories are in the quote. Handover includes the commissioning sheet, manuals and a VAT invoice (Mushak 6.3).

What we check for this order

  • Staging in writingWe ask each seller how many compressors and circuits the unit has and how it stages them at low load.
  • Module or arrayFor modular plants we check that the rating and any AHRI listing belong to the module quoted, not the array.
  • Rating at your roof airWe compare offers at the same outdoor temperature and water conditions, never at each seller's own.
  • Quote scopePumps, expansion tank, strainers, controls and start-up can sit inside one quote and outside another. We compare line by line.

Questions buyers ask

How does a scroll chiller follow the load?

It depends on the model. Most switch compressors on and off in steps, and some run one compressor at variable speed. Ask the seller how many steps there are, how low the unit can run and how it holds the leaving water temperature on a mild day.

Scroll or screw: which should I choose?

Compare them on your own duty. Scroll compressors are compact, smooth and simple; on smaller industrial chillers, scroll is often chosen where the budget calls for it and screw where performance does. Ask for both rated at your load, water temperatures and roof air, with full-load and part-load figures.

Will a modular plant keep cooling if one module fails?

The remaining modules carry the load they are sized for. Decide how much cooling must stay on with one module out, then size the modules to it. Remember that AHRI certifies each catalogue module, not the joined array, so ask for the rating of the module quoted.

Is a scroll chiller quiet enough for a roof near homes?

Scroll compressors run smoothly, but fans and compressors still make noise. State the limit at the nearest window or boundary and ask for sound power measured to EN 12102-1:2022, so offers can be compared on one basis.

How soon will I hear back about chillers?

Within 48 hours of a complete requirement, with a price and a delivery date. A requirement is complete when it has the capacity, where it is needed and by when.

Who do I deal with?

With Roptan, when Roptan manages the order: we buy from the verified seller and deliver to you. With the supplier directly, when you post on the requirement board and choose a quote yourself.
