10 Ton Chiller Systems Made in the USA

10 Ton Water Chillers

Cold Shot Chillers designs, assembles, and tests 10-ton water chillers in Houston, Texas. These industrial-grade chillers meet UL Listed standards and are engineered for demanding industrial process cooling applications. Models are available as air-cooled chillers or water-cooled systems. Options include stationary, portable, and reverse flow designs to meet a wide range of chiller system requirements.

10 Ton Air-cooled Chiller (Portable)

In industry terms, “portable” refers to a self-contained chiller with an internal pumping system, tank, and evaporator, not mobility after installation.

The 10-ton ACWC-120-Q air-cooled chiller features a multi-stage hermetic scroll compressor using R410A refrigerant. Key components include a stainless steel, copper, and bronze evaporator, centrifugal pump, and flow safety switch. With proper maintenance, this unit offers reliable operation for years.

  1. Approximate unit weight crated: 1500 lbs.
  2. Actual unit appearance: 73.5” L x 39.5” W x 67” H

Standard Features

  1. Controls: Programmed temperature controller with process/setpoint display and visual alarms communications upgrade.
  2. Refrigeration Components: Scroll compressor, balanced port expansion valve, sight glass, filter drier, controls hot gas bypass, fan cycling head pressure.
  3. Process Fluid Components: Bronze “Y” strainer, stainless steel centrifugal pump, insulated tank with lid, bypass flow valve.
  4. Safety Controls: High/low refrigerant pressure, high/low fluid temperature, low water flow, thermal overloads, pump safety fuses.
  5. Construction: Powder-coated steel frame, copper piping.
  6. Warranty: 1-year parts / 5-year compressor.

10 Ton Air-cooled Chiller (Stationary)

Stationary models omit the pump and tank. The ACWC-120-QST specifications model provides refrigeration components connected to an evaporator. An external pump/tank circulates process fluid to maintain the minimum recommended operating temperature.

This model offers a single power connection, supply wiring, and dry contacts to prevent pump-only operation, reducing excess fluid heat.

  1. Approximate unit weight: 750 lbs.
  2. Actual unit appearance: 73.5” L x 39.5” W x 44.8” H

Standard Features

  1. Controls: The unit comes standard with an electronic programmed temperature controller with constant (set point & process) temperature readout.
  2. Refrigeration Components: Efficient scroll compressors, balanced port expansion valves, sight glass/moisture indicators, pump down valves, filter drier, fan cycling head pressure controls.
  3. Process Fluid Components: Bronze “Y” strainer with 20 mesh stainless steel screen.
  4. Safety Controls: High and low refrigerant pressure, high and low fluid temperature, low water flow, thermal overloads for compressor and fan motors.
  5. Construction: Welded steel powder coated frame and full metal cabinet, copper piping connections.
  6. Warranty: 1-year parts / 5-year compressor.

10 Ton Air-cooled Chiller (Reverse Flow)

A “reverse flow” portable chiller refers to a chiller that does not include a tank. The tank is external to the chiller and contains water or some other heat transfer fluid which is recirculated through the tank and the chiller. In some applications the fluid is potable drinking water used for dough mixing applications.

Cold Shot Chillers 10 Ton model ACWC-120-QRF air-cooled water chiller includes a hermetic scroll compressor with two stage capabilities. Two-stage compressors operate at two different speeds, allowing them to match the heat load of the application more closely. There are fewer moving parts which makes for a reliable and quiet operation.

The unit weighs approximately 1450 lbs. in total with dimensions of 73.5” L x 39.5” W x 67” H.  

Standard Features

  1. Controls: The unit comes standard with an electronic programmed temperature controller with constant (set point & process) temperature readout.
  2. Refrigeration Components: Efficient scroll compressors, balanced port expansion valves, sight glass/moisture indicators, pump down valves, filter drier, fan cycling head pressure controls.
  3. Process Fluid Components: Bronze “Y” strainer with 20 mesh stainless steel screen. Pumps are stainless steel centrifugal.
  4. Safety Controls: High and low refrigerant pressure, high and low fluid temperature, low water flow, thermal overloads for compressor and fan motors, safety fuses or overloads for pump.
  5. Construction: Welded steel powder coated frame and full metal cabinet, copper piping connections.
  6. Warranty: One year for parts / five year for the compressor.

10 Ton Water-cooled Chiller (Portable)

The WCWC-120-E water-cooled chiller system uses a condenser with condensing water up to 85°F from sources like cooling towers. Typically installed indoors near processes, it’s quieter than air cooled alternatives.

Features a two-stage scroll compressor with an LED controller offering alarms and self-diagnostics for immediate factory pricing inquiries.

  1. Approximate unit weight: 1100 lbs.
  2. Actual unit appearance: 46.5” L x 34.5” W x 52.5” H

Standard Features

  1. Controls: Electronic programmed temp. controller with a constant (set point & process) temperature readout.
  2. Refrigeration Components: Efficient scroll compressors, sight glass/moisture indicators, balanced port expansion valves, filter drier, access ports and or service valves, pressure actuated head pressure controls, liquid receiver.
  3. Process Fluid Components: Bronze “Y” strainer with 20 mesh stainless steel screen. Pumps are stainless steel centrifugal. Tanks are insulated with shoe box lid, fill port, and level sight glass. Portable systems will include a bypass flow valve.
  4. Safety Controls: High and low refrigerant pressure controls, high and low fluid temperature, low water flow, thermal overloads for compressors, safety fuses or overloads for pump.
  5. Construction: Welded steel powder coated frame and full metal cabinet, copper piping connections.
  6. Warranty: One year parts / five year compressor.

10 Ton Water-cooled Chiller (Reverse Flow)

Model WCWC-120-ERF is a reverse flow design, requiring proximity to an external tank to avoid pump cavitation. It ensures minimum recommended operating temperature, supporting processes with strict incoming fluid temperature needs.

The heat from the fluid is transferred to the condensing water efficiently, keeping the process stable and consistent.
