Frigorific group and air / water exchanger

The RFI frigorific group is supplied in water by an external circuit, cools the water of circuit to be distribute at KWS air / water exchangers. This exchangers allows to evacuate enclosure's calories

They find his application in very polluted environments or  very hot atmospheres. The equipment is completely hermetically closed to protect himself against dust.
