40 TON CHILLER UNITS MADE IN THE USA

40 Ton Chiller – Air-cooled and Water-cooled

Cold Shot Chillers’ two-stage 40 ton air cooled water chillers are made in the USA and built for industrial process cooling. We offer portable, stationary, and reverse flow designs. Stationary and water-cooled chiller models do not include a pump or tank. Portable models come fully equipped with controls, pump(s), and holding reservoir. All models are built to deliver reliable, long-term performance.

40 Ton Air-cooled Chiller (Portable)

This portable 40 ton air cooled chiller includes dual hermetic scroll compressors, R410A refrigerant, and a stainless steel copper-brazed plate evaporator. The system includes internal pump and tank for closed-loop cooling, with safeties for flow and temperature to prevent freezing. Delivers ~360,000 BTU/hr at 50°F LWT and 95°F ambient. Remote condenser option available.

40 Ton Air-Cooled Chiller (Stationary)

Cold Shot’s two-stage stationary air-cooled chiller systems feature separate controls for the chiller and pump(s), each with its own electrical connection. Single or dual pump configurations are available based on process needs. An external holding tank is piped to the unit on-site. Designed for indoor or outdoor installation, each system includes energy-efficient hermetic scroll compressors with R-410A refrigerant for reliable, year-round cooling.

Standard Features

1. Controls: Electronic programmed temperature controller with constant set point and process readout.
2. Refrigeration Components: Energy-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/low refrigerant pressure, high/low fluid temperature, low water flow, thermal overloads for compressors and fan motors, safety fuses or overloads for pump.
5. Construction: Compact microchannel condenser coil, welded steel powder-coated frame, full metal cabinet, copper piping connections.
6. Warranty: One year for parts / five year for the compressor.

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.

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, easy to clean. 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.

40 Ton Water-cooled Units (Portable)

The 40 ton model WCWC-480-E is a compact, self-contained water-cooled chiller built for industrial applications. These systems are custom-configured and support single or dual pump setups. Water-cooled chiller designs operate at lower head pressure, offering greater efficiency and consistent performance.

This unit uses a brazed plate stainless steel heat exchanger and an efficient water-cooled condenser. Refrigerant and cooling water travel through separate paths, preventing cross-contamination. These water-cooled chillers are typically installed indoors.

1. Size: 98” L x 50” W x 85” H
2. Cooling Capacity: ~480,000 BTU/hr
3. Approx. Weight: 1,300 lbs

Standard Features

1. Controls: Electronic programmed temp. controller with a constant (set point & process) temperature readout. (Easy to Use)
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.

40 Ton Water-cooled Chillers (Reverse Flow)

The 40 Ton reverse flow water-cooled chiller from Cold Shot features a compact footprint, PLC controls with self-diagnostics, and WiFi/LAN/LTE connectivity for predictive maintenance. Model WCWC-480-E-RF delivers 480,000 BTU/hr cooling at 50°F leaving fluid temperature with 85°F incoming condensing water.

Water-cooled chillers transfer process heat to tower water or another external water source. They offer steady performance, compact size, and are typically installed indoors. While more efficient than air-cooled chillers, they require a cooling tower, which adds installation and maintenance needs.

The unit measures 90” L x 50” W x 72” H and weighs approximately 1100 lbs.

Standard Features

1. Controls: Digital temperature controller with set point and process readout.
2. Refrigeration Components: Scroll compressors, sight glass, moisture indicators, expansion valves, filter drier, service ports, head pressure controls, liquid receiver. Uses energy-efficient, eco-friendly R-410A refrigerant.
3. Process Fluid Components: Bronze Y-strainer with 20 mesh stainless screen. Stainless centrifugal pump; VFD options for pressure or flow.
4. Safety Controls: High/low refrigerant and fluid temperature, low flow, compressor and pump overloads, safety fuses.
5. Construction: Welded powder-coated steel frame, metal cabinet, copper piping.
6. Warranty: One year parts / five year compressor.
