Actually, I am in the process of finalising the specification of few nos of R134A screw chillers of 150 - 200 TR for immediate purchase. Not able to decide DX or flooded. In the case of DX, water being in shell side, mechanical cleaning of shell side is not possible. Water quality is not that good.

Kindly advice
Hi Nirmalya

in the range you are talking about I would advise Flooded

Better initial performance and better future performance due to being able to clean it.
