The term, “Central Water Cooled Chiller”, refers to any system that can cool several processes throughout a plant at the same time. The main component is a stand-alone chiller unit that must be connected by piping to a pump and a separate reservoir to function.

This system will typically have separate controls for the chiller and the pump or pumps, with an electrical connection for each component. The controls should ideally be wired together, to prevent the chiller from cooling until the circulating pump is operating. We offer stationary water-cooled chillers with a capacity ranging from 2 tons to 250 tons.

The term “Portable Water Cooled Chiller” refers to the basic configuration of the system, not to its mobility. Most portable chiller units will never be moved once installed. The term refers to any chiller system that contains all the necessary components – the refrigeration circuit, the reservoir, and the pump or pumps – within a single footprint.

The controls of a portable water cooled chiller unit are integrated to include all motor starters and require a single point electrical connection. Our product offering includes portable chillers ranging from 2 to 100 tons in capacity.
