Ultra‑high‑efficiency water‑cooled chiller delivering exceptional performance, reliability, and sustainability
The Carrier 19MV (CH) water‑cooled chiller sets a new benchmark in energy efficiency and quiet operation through advanced magnetic‑levitation centrifugal compressor technology. Designed for large commercial and industrial applications, it delivers outstanding full‑ and part‑load performance while supporting modern building automation and environmental standards.
The Carrier 19MV (CH) is a next‑generation water‑cooled chiller engineered for applications where maximum efficiency, low operating noise, and long‑term reliability are critical. At its core is the EquiDrive™ two‑stage back‑to‑back maglev centrifugal compressor, which uses magnetic bearings (select models) to eliminate mechanical friction, significantly reducing energy consumption and maintenance requirements.
The chiller achieves industry‑leading efficiency levels, with full‑load performance down to 0.52 kW/ton (COP 6.8) and IPLV values as low as 0.31 kW/ton (COP 11.3). It operates quietly at less than 82 dBA, making it suitable for noise‑sensitive environments such as healthcare facilities and urban installations.

The 19MV (CH) uses an EquiDrive™ two‑stage back‑to‑back centrifugal compressor, with magnetic bearings on select models for friction‑free operation.
It delivers full‑load efficiency down to 0.52 kW/ton and IPLV performance as low as 0.31 kW/ton, placing it among the most efficient chillers in its class.
The chiller covers a wide capacity range from 150 to 700 tons (527 to 2,461 kW).
Yes. With operating sound levels below 82 dBA, it is well suited for hospitals, commercial buildings, and urban installations.
The 19MV (CH) supports low‑GWP refrigerants including R‑513A, R‑1234ze(E), and R‑515B.
Yes. It features native BACnet® compatibility, supports Carrier Comfort Network® (CCN), and integrates easily with centralized building management systems.
Designed to perfectly meet the new requirements in terms of energy performance, acoustic comfort, refrigerant sustainability, low maintenance and total cost of ownership, the 19MV is the new standard for the medium cooling capacity centrifugal chiller market.
