Depending on operator preference, there are different approaches to industrial cooling. While some process temperatures can be optimally maintained using conventional industrial chillers, others require alternative equipment like dry coolers. Both thermoregulatory tools achieve a similar effect, but their mechanisms operate differently. This article will highlight the differences between a dry cooler vs. chiller and help […]
TIPS TO USE YOUR INDUSTRIAL CHILLER MORE EFFICIENTLY IN 2023
Many manufacturing and processing companies rely on industrial chillers to provide critical cooling for everything from machinery to finished goods. However, chillers consume more electricity than most other devices. These powerful systems are responsible for 20% of the total energy consumption in North America. Looking ahead, it’s more important than ever to figure out how to use […]
HOW TO MAINTAIN CHILLERS IN WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS
Unlike the wrong perception that industrial chillers are expendable during cold seasons, such as winter, these units are vital to industrial applications all year round. Neglecting chillers during this period makes them susceptible to damage and a high maintenance cost. Thus, industrial operators must implement good maintenance practices in winter weather conditions. This article highlights some of […]

WHAT IS A CHILLER & HOW DOES IT WORK? | INDUSTRIAL CHILLER WORKING PRINCIPLE
If your facility uses process fluids or heavy-duty machinery that generates heat, you’ll need an industrial chiller system to cool your processes and internal machine components. Understanding how an industrial chiller works and the various types of chillers available will help you make the right choice for your cooling needs. What Is a Chiller? An industrial […]
REFRIGERANT CHANGES COMING TO THE CHILLER INDUSTRY
Conventional HFC-based refrigerants are more environmentally unfriendly than CO2 due to their high global warming potentials (GWPs). Consequently, the US Congress enacted the AIM Act to curb the adverse effects of HFCs and ultimately avoid up to 0.5°C global warming by 2100. This article explores the AIM Act and its implications for the chiller industry. Refrigerant […]
DIFFERENCES BETWEEN AIR-COOLED CHILLER VS. WATER-COOLED CHILLER
Industrial processes generate a significant amount of heat which must be dissipated to avoid damage to sensitive equipment and protect finished products. A well-established method of monitoring and regulating temperatures at optimal levels involves the use of chiller systems which can either be water or air-cooled. This article will highlight the differences between a water-cooled […]
