WCPS-C – Hawk Water Cooled Packaged Units are commercial water-cooled packaged HVAC units manufactured by Dunham-Bush designed for medium-to-large indoor cooling and heating applications. They are part of the company’s WCPS series of packaged air conditioning solutions that reject heat to circulating water rather than outdoor air.
A water-cooled packaged unit is a complete air-conditioning system in one factory-assembled cabinet. Instead of using outdoor air to reject heat (as with air-cooled units), it uses condenser water circulated to a cooling tower (or similar water circuit) to remove heat. This approach often provides higher efficiency and quieter operation, especially in buildings where outdoor condenser noise or rooftop space is a concern.
Cooling Capacity: ~100 to 1582 MBH (≈29 to 464 kW)
Heating Capacity: ~125 to 2046 MBH (≈37 to 599 kW)
Scroll Compressors: Quiet, high-efficiency compressor technology as standard; optional inverter scroll for improved modulation and efficiency.
Integrated Controller: Built-in microprocessor for precise capacity control and operation.
Certifications & Standards: Complies with AHRI 340/360 and AHRI 410 performance standards; ETL/CE/UL listings.
Refrigerants: Uses environmentally friendlier refrigerants (e.g., R454b/R410A, depending on specific product catalog/version).
Application Suitability: Ideal for commercial buildings, offices, retail, hotels, hospitals, and other indoor environments where water-cooled HVAC is preferred.
