The Global Chiller had been in development for over four years, with what one engineer had described as a “creeping” launch date, when Ted Amyuni arrived as president of Carrier France. The Global Chiller was Carrier's first attempt to create a chiller that would be identical for all markets, with the exception of variations in voltage. The Montluel facility, which was owned by Carrier ETO, produced chillers-air conditioning systems for commercial applications-for the European, Middle Eastern, and African markets. In February 1997, Carrier Corporation's manufacturing facility in Montluel, France celebrated the long awaited launch of Carrier's Global Chiller. The case contains rich qualitative and quantitative information on the costs and benefits of the two Aquasnap design concepts in consideration, and focuses on which alternative to introduce. Relative to another more conservative design alternative, a delayed launch was likely. While one design alternative would lower assembly costs and space requirements, market acceptance was unpredictable. The only way Carrier could compete was by designing a product with low labor costs. In the late 1990s, Carrier France faced extremely high labor and overhead costs relative to smaller Italian competitors in one segment.
In addition, the it is built in line with existing products, so service teams are already familiar with this platform.”įor more information, visit or follow on Twitter.This case focuses on product design as a source of competitive advantage. “We’ve integrated several new technologies that allow it to run more intelligently and efficiently. “The 30RBP with Greenspeed Intelligence is a fantastic addition to the AquaSnap line,”said Didier Genois, director of engineering and marketing, HVAC Europe. The software constantly calculates the most efficient fan speed and water flow rate based on the load and ambient conditions, and controls them precisely to this pressure through continuous feedback and adjustment. The 30RBP uses new software designed to optimise use of compressors, fans and circuits. The 30RBP reaches a European Seasonal Energy Efficiency Ratio of up to 4.3. In addition, 30RBP uses high-efficiency, variable-speed condenser fans providing an ideal fan-operating sequence for optimal air flow across the condenser, which supports higher efficiency when running at part-load conditions. The 30RBP features enhanced scroll compressors designed for better full-load efficiency at the operating point of an air-cooled chiller. It is a part of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, a unit of United Technologies Corp. , which operates as Carrier UK in the UK, is the world’s leader in high-technology heating, air conditioning and refrigeration solutions.
