Air Cooled Chillers
Industrial Air Cooled Chillers
Air cooled chillers absorb heat from process water, and the heat is then transferred to the air around the chiller unit. This type of chiller system is generally used in applications where the additional heat it discharges is not a factor. In fact, it’s often practical to use the excess heat to warm a plant during the winter, thus providing additional cost savings. Overall, air cooled industrial chillers are known for their high cooling capacity and adaptability in various industries, providing a reliable cooling process for demanding applications.

Industrial Stationary Air-Cooled Water Chillers
Stationary industrial air chillers refer to any chiller system that does not include a pump or a tank. The main component is a stand-alone chiller unit that must be connected by piping to a pump and a separate reservoir to function.
This system will typically have separate controls for the chiller and the pump or pumps, with an electrical connection for each component. The controls should Ideally be wired together, to prevent the chiller from cooling until the circulating pump is operating. The standard Cold Shot Chillers® product offering for stationary chillers included sizes ranging from 2 tons to 200 tons.

With decades of experience, we provide reliable and efficient cooling solutions tailored to meet the needs of industries such as medical, food processing, plastics, and more.
Air Cooled Chillers vs. Water Cooled Chillers
- Air cooled industrial chillers require less maintenance than water-cooled units.
- Air cooled chiller systems do not require a cooling tower or a condenser water pump.
- Consume approximately 10% more power than a water-cooled unit due to wet surfaces transferring heat better than dry surfaces.
- Better suited for smaller or less demanding applications

Frequently Asked Questions
With proper maintenance, our high efficiency industrial chillers often operate 15-20 years or longer.
Yes. Chillers can be integrated with PLC, BMS, and SCADA systems using hardwired I/O or communication protocols. Integration allows centralized monitoring, alarm reporting, remote start/stop, and coordination with other process equipment.
After final assembly, panels are installed and secured. The unit is cleaned, inspected, and packaged to protect components during transport. Each chiller is clearly labeled to ensure proper handling and safe delivery.
Each industrial chiller is factory tested under full load conditions. All operating modes, controls, and safety devices are verified. Systems are checked for refrigerant leaks, mechanical issues, and proper performance before being approved for shipment.
Air cooled chillers are available in sizes ranging from 1/4 ton up to 100 tons, covering small process loads through large industrial applications.
Standard warranty coverage includes one year on parts and five years on the compressor. (for both air cooled and water cooled chiller models)
Safeties monitor refrigerant pressure, fluid temperature, flow rate, and motor overloads to protect the system.
Real time operating data is available through network connectivity using WiFi, LAN, or LTE. Monitoring includes temperatures, pressures, pump and compressor status, motor run time, cycling history, and system fault codes. Email and text alerts notify operators of maintenance milestones, alarms, and abnormal conditions, while all data is stored for long term history and troubleshooting.
