Industrial Temperature Control Systems

Compare INDUSTRIAL TEMPERATURE CONTROL SYSTEMS, cooling towers and industrial chillers, are systems needed to cool the industrial processes that generate excessive heat. The cooling begins with a chiller which can remove the heat from a process and transfer it to a stream or other body of water. More commonly the heat is transferred to a cooling tower where the heat is transferred into the atmosphere

Liquid Chillers

LIQUID CHILLERS are chilling devices designed to cool processes such as spot welding, plastic molding or laser systems. The chilling liquid is water, which in most cases is fed into a cooling tower to disipate the heat.

Liquid chillers range in size from a fraction of a ton to over 100 tons. Units of less than 30 tons are usually considered as portable. This comparison will only consider portable models. Many of the manufacturers making portable models also make the larger, fixed installation units.

Liquid chillers come as air cooled and water cooled models. The main parameter for these systems is the amount of heat it is capable of removing. The common ratings are: tons, BTUs, or watts. One ton = 12,000 BTUs = 4000 watt-hour (4 kW hr). These are approximate values

Industrial Cooling Towers

INDUSTRIAL COOLING TOWERS are the final step in removing process heat. The cooling tower is located away from other equipment to allow the cooling air or water to escape to the atmosphere.

The comparison list is limited up to 200 tons. Anything above this requires custom installation. Most companies listed here provide larger systems.

The heat removal is achieved by blowing ambient air through the water. The evaporative effect transfers the heat to the air. In the process some of the water is lost to the air. Closed loop systems where the water runs through a radiator type heat exchanger are available below 100 ton capacity. These are good for confined spaces
