The most expensive mistake in this category is not a failed compressor. It is a container of 230V units arriving in a 120V market, or a plug that nobody in the destination country can legally use.
| Market | Voltage & frequency | Plug type | Certification to plan for |
|---|---|---|---|
| United States / Canada | 110–120V, 60Hz | Type B | FCC, plus a safety listing or test report for the appliance standard |
| European Union | 220–240V, 50Hz | Type C / F | CE (including EMC), RoHS, REACH |
| United Kingdom | 220–240V, 50Hz | Type G | CE or UKCA — confirm the current requirement with your importer |
| Australia / New Zealand | 230–240V, 50Hz | Type I | SAA / RCM |
| Japan | 100V, 50 or 60Hz | Type A | Market-specific — confirm with your importer |
Voltage and plug types are stable facts. Certification requirements are not: they change, and the importer is the party responsible for the file that enters the country. Treat this table as a planning aid and confirm the current requirement before the order is placed.
Most of our chiller range is built for 110–220V, which covers the majority of export markets with a plug change. Some models run wider or narrower:
Three-phase configurations matter on the larger units, particularly the 3HP to 8HP high-capacity chillers, where the electrical supply in a commercial building is often the real constraint rather than the chiller. Ask what the building provides before you quote the model.
We supply CE, SAA, EMC, FCC, RoHS and REACH documentation and a UL 60335 test report. Where a market requires a certification we do not already hold, we help the brand obtain it rather than implying that we have it.
That distinction is worth testing with any supplier. An unearned certificate claim does not stay the factory's problem — it becomes the importer's problem when customs or a marketplace asks for the supporting document and somebody has to produce it.
Send us the destination market with the specification. Voltage, plug, labelling and the certification path all follow from that one answer, and we quote them together rather than separately.
The compressor control type decides how a chiller behaves once the tub is at temperature — how tightly it holds the setpoint and how often it starts. Here is what to put in a request for quotation, and which standards answer each question.
Read Article →Most of our chiller range can be ordered as cooling-only or as cooling-and-heating, and one model does both at once. Here is how to decide per market, and how to write the configuration into the purchase order so the right unit is built.
