Cold Shot Chillers designs, assembles, and tests 5-ton chillers in Houston, Texas. These industrial-grade units are available in air-cooled or water-cooled configurations and are among the most durable and reliable on the market. Flow designs include stationary, portable, and reverse flow.
In the chiller industry, the term “portable” refers to a chiller that includes a refrigeration circuit, a chiller tank, an evaporator, and a single or dual pump, all within a single footprint, not its mobility.
The 5-ton model ACWC-60-Q is a portable air-cooled water chiller with a single-stage hermetic scroll compressor to provide a cooling capacity of 60,000 BTU/Hr. with a leaving fluid temperature of 50°F in 95°F ambient air temperature. The chiller system uses an R410A refrigerant, which is environmentally friendly and non-ozone-depleting.

The term “stationary” describes a chiller that does not include a pump or a tank. A stationary chiller might be used because an external tank can be of a larger capacity than what could be used if integrated into the chiller. A larger capacity external tank can accept a higher temperature, returning fluid from the process without affecting the chiller’s performance.
The chiller can be located close or far from the external tank and pump. In both scenarios, separate power connections are used for the chiller and pump–tank assembly. Cold Shot Chillers provides an interface to remotely turn the chiller on and off, which can be tied to the pump–tank assembly to prevent the chiller when not in cooling mode.
Cold Shot Chillers 5 Ton stationary model ACWC-60-QST air-cooled water chiller includes a hermetic scroll compressor and R410A refrigerant for effective and reliable cooling. A stainless-steel copper brazed plated evaporator is used to exchange heat effectively and reliably from your process.

A “reverse flow” portable chiller does not include a tank but does include a pump. A chiller that is configured with a reverse flow design is typically located near the external tank containing heat transfer fluid or water. Field plumbing is required to plumb the connections between the chiller and the tank to provide a path for the fluid to be drawn into the chiller and return to the chiller or out to the process.
Cold Shot Chillers model ACWC-60-QRF utilizes an energy-efficient hermetic scroll compressor. These types of compressors run quieter and smoother compared to reciprocating compressors. This unit uses and environmentally conscious hydrochlorofluorocarbon R410A refrigerant.
This chiller is considered industrial-grade quality to provide many years of dependable performance.

Cold Shot Chillers model WCWC-60-Q is a water-cooled water chiller configured in a portable design. Portable means that the chiller includes a pump, tank, and refrigeration circuit to provide the closest thing to plug and play as it gets. Connect the power, the condensing water lines, and heat transfer fluid lines to your process, and you’re ready to go!
Heat from your process back to the chiller is transferred through the evaporator through the refrigerant circuit to a water-cooled condenser. The heated fluid traveling through the condenser is transferred to, in many cases, to a cooling tower, geothermal, or large building chiller system.
This unit uses a hermetically sealed scroll compressor, which offers a smooth and quiet operation. This is important when operating the chiller indoors. R-410A refrigerant is used due to its environmentally friendly properties. It is also a common refrigerant widely used in residential and commercial applications.

The chiller is usually indoors in a mechanical room or near the cooling process.
A “reverse flow” water-cooled water chiller includes a stainless-steel centrifugal pump with fluid connections to an external tank. The process tank is generally open to the atmosphere, such as one with a vented top or a trough. The fluid contained in the tank is pumped through the stainless-steel copper-brazed evaporator of the chiller. The chilled fluid leaving the chiller is pumped to the facility to be consumed or back to the tank to maintain a predetermined tank temperature.
A water-cooled water chiller requires external water to remove heat from the condenser. This is typically accomplished by using a cooling tower, geothermal, or other water source. The chiller runs at its most optimum conditions with an incoming condensing water temperature of 85°F or less.
The water-cooled water chiller is normally mounted indoors, and generally near the process tank, it is cooling.
