Airrex HWC-60R Water-cooled Spot Cooler 61000 Btu 5 Ton

Product Description

The AIRREX HWC-60R is a portable, water-cooled spot cooler rated at 61,000 BTU/h (5 tons) of cooling capacity. It runs on a 220-volt, single-phase, 60 Hz power supply and draws 20 amps at full load. Unlike ducted split systems, this self-contained unit rejects heat through a water circuit rather than a condenser exhaust duct, making it well suited for enclosed or sensitive spaces where hot air discharge is not an option. The HWC-60R uses R-454B refrigerant, a lower global warming potential (GWP) alternative that aligns with current EPA regulatory direction. Licensed HVAC technicians and industrial facility engineers are the primary installers of this class of equipment.

The HWC-60R is designed for spot-cooling applications in industrial, commercial, and large-scale temporary environments. Its 61,000 BTU/h output supports coverage of areas up to approximately 2,000 square feet, depending on heat load. Typical deployment scenarios include server rooms, manufacturing floors, event tents, emergency cooling situations, and any space where a permanent HVAC system is unavailable or has failed. The unit operates across an ambient air temperature range of 65 degrees F to 113 degrees F, giving it broad utility in hot industrial settings. Portable caster-mounted construction allows repositioning without mechanical trades for relocation tasks.

Key Features

• 61,000 BTU/h cooling output rated at 5 tons of capacity
• Water-cooled condenser eliminates hot exhaust air discharge into the conditioned space
• R-454B refrigerant lower GWP formulation meeting current regulatory direction
• 220V single-phase 60 Hz power supply, compatible with standard industrial circuits
• Operational ambient range: 65 degrees F to 113 degrees F
• Portable, self-contained design for rapid deployment and repositioning

Compatibility

Designed as a self-contained, portable water-cooled spot cooler for temporary or permanent supplemental cooling applications in industrial and commercial environments. No specific OEM system compatibility is stated for this unit.

Installation Notes

Installation and commissioning should be performed by a licensed HVAC technician familiar with water-cooled refrigeration systems and applicable local mechanical codes. Before servicing or connecting the refrigerant circuit, shut off all electrical power at the disconnect and close all water supply valves. Water supply and return connections must be properly sized and secured to prevent leaks, and the unit should be positioned on a level surface with adequate clearance for water line routing. Do not operate the unit without confirmed water flow through the condenser circuit, as running dry will damage the refrigerant system.
