Drake PAC360D6 (30 HP air-cooled scroll chiller, R404A) — modelled
Modelled from the manufacturer's published data — not verified by Drake Chillers. Source: Drake Chillers PAC360D data sheet (Pac360d-z+ref.pdf, Drake Refrigeration, Inc.) — the R404A performance table: tons and EER against leaving fluid from 0 to 55 °F and ambient from 80 to 105 °F, the two ZB114KCE named in the product information (docs/drake-chillers-source.json). The figures below come from this model run against that data; the manufacturer has not reviewed them. Are you Drake Chillers? Claim this page.

Drake Chillers' 30 HP packaged air-cooled chiller in its R404A build, as this model runs it: the PAC360D3's evaporator and condenser, sized on its R407C table, with Copeland's own map of the same two ZB114KCE scrolls on R404A in place of the R407C one. At 40 °F leaving water on a 95 °F day it makes 21.2 tons against the published 21.7, on 4 % more compressor power than the sheet's EER leaves for it. At 55 °F, the one leaving temperature both of the sheet's tables print, its capacity over the R407C build's is the sheet's within 3 % and its power 5 to 9 % higher: the model holds a condensing refrigerant at its dew point, which credits R407C with about half of its 4.7 K glide, and so sizes the shared condenser short for R404A, which has almost none. The sheet's 0 to 25 °F rows want glycol, which this model does not carry. Modelled from the maker's published data — not verified by the manufacturer. Published as an example; the figures below are solved from this model.
