Re: Petra chiller
Yes,
when they was imported here, I had 4 of them, 1 AC package and 4 water chillers. All are still running nice.
Basic and simple and long life.

Re: Petra chiller
Hello all
I have worked on a couple in Tyneside area also 1 comp (Bitzer) grounded.
A problem was HP cutting out in winter at below Zero deg C due to CDS fans on ambient control. Units not designed to work lower.
Had to put air sensor in control panel to keep it warmer. kept unit online at a certain hotel where they needed chillers in winter.

Re: Petra chiller
I shudder when i hear about petra chillers. We used to install them in a well known high street chemist.
The workmanship was appalling, we used to get them direct from Jordan to our workshop and virtually repipe and wire them.
I think one of our directors toured the factory out there and found them braizing without nitrogen.
Your hotel wouldnt happen to be the Holiday Inn would it?

Re: Petra chiller
Those I bought have Bitzer recip, running smoothly for over 12 years/ I went to to factory in Jordan to buy them, I have picked the models they made for Dubai.
One AC package with economiser runs on 4 15HP Copaland hermetics.
I heard some bad stories but never had any problem myself.
