At Hedrick Associates, we’re always on the lookout for products that push boundaries — ones that combine reliability, performance, and real-world efficiency. That’s why we’re thrilled to highlight WaterFurnace’s TruClimate 700 Modular Screw Chiller. It’s more than just a chiller — it’s a smarter way to cool, heat, and recover energy in demanding commercial and industrial settings.

Compact Power That Fits Anywhere

A standout feature: though the TruClimate 700 can deliver up to 140 tons of capacity, each module is designed to fit through a standard 36-inch doorway. That modular design means easier installations, less disruption, and flexibility in tight mechanical rooms.

You can also bank up to 10 modules for even larger systems — and each module can be isolated for service without taking the entire plant offline.

Efficiency & Load Matching — Because Your Building Doesn’t Run at Full Speed

One of the biggest energy drains is overcooling or punching through fixed-speed systems when they don’t need full capacity. The TruClimate 700’s DC inverted variable-speed screw compressor resolves that by ramping power up or down based on real-time demand.

It can scale down to 25% capacity, which means less wasted energy during off-peak hours.

At full load, it delivers up to 22.4 EER (Energy Efficiency Ratio) and operates as low as 0.584 kW/ton — numbers that make a serious difference in utility bills and ROI.

Simultaneous Heating & Cooling + Heat Recovery Built In

One of the features HVAC pros really take notice of: the TruClimate 700 can produce chilled water (around 40 °F) while simultaneously delivering hot water (up to 145 °F). That means a single system can serve cooling, heating, and hot water needs.

In buildings with varying loads — think hospitals, schools, gyms, mixed-use facilities — that kind of flexibility can drastically cut installed equipment costs and improve operating efficiency.

Smarter Controls & Diagnostic

TruClimate 700 comes standard with HydroLink Aurora controls. With an intuitive 10” touchscreen interface, plus energy, refrigeration, and performance monitoring, your maintenance team can stay ahead of issues before they become downtime.

Diagnostics, trending, BACnet integration — it’s all in the mix. Plus, envelope control and oil-level monitoring help the system stay efficient and reliable even under varying conditions.

Why This Matters for Your Projects (and Ours)

• Lower energy costs across the full load range
• Smaller footprint, easier installation even in retrofit settings
• Flexible serviceability — modules can be isolated for maintenance
• Better lifecycle ROI thanks to efficiency, modularity, and diagnostics
• One system to do more — cooling, heating, and hot water all in one

At Hedrick Associates, bringing you premium solutions is what we do. The TruClimate 700 is a natural fit with our philosophy: technology that performs, adapts, and delivers. If your next project demands smarter, greener, more reliable HVAC, this one deserves a look.
