Air Cooled Chillers

Depend on Thermal Care for efficient and reliable industrial process cooling equipment - no matter what the need or application. Air cooled chillers use refrigerant to pull heat from the process fluid and transfer it to water. Units require 95°F (35°C) air to cool the chiller condenser.

Industrial Chillers for Most Applications

There are three different types of Portable & Packaged Chillers: air-cooled, water-cooled or remote condenser also referred to as a split system. These three types of chiller systems refer to the type of condenser used to ultimately reject the process heat. Portable Packaged Chillers are useful for small process loads or where special process fluids, flows, pressures or temperatures are required. They also are ideal for test applications and for temporary use.

An industrial central chiller is a piece of equipment used to provide cooling for multiple processes. The chiller incorporates both the refrigeration circuit and controls and is installed in conjunction with a pumping system. The pumping system can be integral to the chiller but often the two items are installed separately. Central chillers are used for higher cooling capacity requirements and offer a cost effective means to cool multiple processes without requiring a single portable chiller dedicated to each process. Central chillers are also highly energy efficient utilizing special compressor technology like oil free designs. The capacity of these systems can range from 10 to 250+ tons (35 kW to 879+ kW). The chillers are typically modular and can be added to a system in the future to expand the cooling capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions About Air Cooled Chillers

When are air cooled chillers the better choice over water cooled units?

Air cooled chillers reject heat directly to ambient air through an integral or remote condenser, so they avoid the cost, footprint, water consumption, and chemical treatment associated with a cooling tower loop. They are usually the preferred specification when the facility has limited or no access to a tower water source, when site water restrictions apply, when the cooling load is small to mid-sized, or when the equipment will run outdoors year-round. Water cooled designs tend to win on absolute efficiency in larger central plants, but for stand-alone process loads up to a few hundred tons, a packaged air cooled chiller is often the more cost-effective solution over a 15 to 20-year lifecycle.

What sizes and configurations of air cooled chillers does Thermal Care produce?

Our air cooled portfolio covers 1 ton through 720 tons. Smaller capacities from 1 to 3 tons are handled by the Accuchiller EQ Series; 4 to 40 ton requirements are typically met with the Accuchiller NQ or variable-speed NQV Series; and packaged outdoor units from 40 to 720 tons fall under the KSE Series. For applications with limited indoor space, a remote air cooled chiller separates the compressor and evaporator from the outdoor condenser. Packaged outdoor units locate the entire refrigeration circuit on the roof or pad, and only chilled fluid lines enter the building, which simplifies installation and frees up mechanical room space.

What ambient temperature range can a Thermal Care air chiller operate in?

Standard units are rated for full capacity at 95°F ambient air, with capacity derates published for hotter conditions. Many models can be specified with high-ambient packages for sites that regularly exceed 105°F. For cold-climate operation, low-ambient options include head pressure control, condenser fan cycling or VFDs, and insulated reservoirs with heat tracing, so the unit can start and run year-round even when winter temperatures drop well below freezing. When you contact our sales engineers, providing the design summer ambient and the minimum expected winter temperature will let them recommend the right combination of factory options for your installation.

How loud is an industrial air cooled chiller, and can sound be reduced for installations near offices or property lines?

Sound levels for packaged outdoor air cooled chillers typically range from the mid-70s to mid-80s dBA at 10 feet, depending on the number of fans and the compressor type. For installations near occupied spaces or sensitive property lines, low-sound and ultra-low-sound options are available, including oversized condenser coils that allow slower fan speeds, larger-diameter low-rpm fans, fan VFDs that ramp speed with load, and compressor sound blankets. These options can reduce overall sound power by 5 to 15 dBA and are commonly specified for hospital campuses, schools, and mixed-use commercial sites where local ordinances cap nighttime noise.

Do air cooled chillers need to be drained or winterized when production shuts down for the season?

That depends on the fluid in the loop and where the unit is installed. Units running a properly maintained glycol mixture with appropriate freeze protection can usually remain pressurized and idle over winter, with the controller in standby. Units running plain water in regions that drop below freezing must be drained completely from the chiller, the piping, and any exposed coils, or kept above freezing with heat tracing and controller-initiated low-load circulation. Our installation and operation manuals cover the recommended seasonal shutdown procedure for each series, and our service team can walk you through it before your first winter on the equipment.
