40 TON CHILLERS MADE IN THE USA

40 Ton Chillers – Air-cooled and Water-cooled

Cold Shot Chillers two stage air cooled water chillers are made in the USA and are among the most robust and dependable chillers built to last. We offer 40-Ton chillers in a variety of flow designs for process cooling applications.  These are available in stationary air-cooled water chillers and liquid-cooled water chillers that do not include a recirculating fluid pump or an internal holding tank. This machine is also offered as a portable unit which includes a complete system with operating controls, water pump(s) and holding reservoir.  Other options include reverse flow and continuous flow to cool a process.

40 Ton Air-Cooled Chiller (Reverse Flow)

Cold Shot reverse flow chillers do not include a holding tank due to their use of an open loop cooling system. For applications of these chillers, an external reservoir on your site is typically used to gravity feed water into the system’s fluid pump. The pump sends the externally sourced water through the chiller evaporator and filter before sending it back to the tank/trough or process. Standard non coated or e-coated microchannel condenser coils.

40 Ton Water-cooled Units (Portable)

Cold Shot Chillers 40 Ton model WCWC-480-E water-cooled liquid chiller is designed in a small enclosed footprint to bring efficient and superior performance to all types of industrial applications. These self-contained water-cooled systems are custom made to fit your cooling needs.  Water-cooled chillers allow the refrigeration system to operate at lower head pressure, making them more efficient.  Single or two pump arrangements available.

Water-cooled chillers recirculate water to cool the refrigerant in the brazed plated fluid condenser.  This chiller includes and efficient water-cooled liquid condenser, high efficiency brazed plate stainless-steel copper brazed.  The refrigerant and cooling water from a cooling water source do not come in direct contact with each other, these flow in different pathways.  These units are usually installed indoors.  The 30 Ton portable water-cooled chiller weighs approximately 1,300 lbs. and has dimensions of 98” L x 50” W x 85” H.
