Air Cooled Chillers
1st Choice Chillers is a manufacturer of portable air cooled
chillers for a wide range of industries such as plastics, rubber,
chemcial and pharmaceuticals. Our air cooled chillers were deisgned
to cool both the process as well as the process machine. Using an
air chiller to remove heat from the process involves an evaporator
to remove the heat and an air cooled condenser to remove
the heat from the evaporator. In a typical plant layout, the evaporator
and condenser are inside the chiller unit. On units under 25 tons,
propeller fans are used without duct work (heat in plant) and on
units larger than 25 tons centrifugal blowers and exhaust ducts
are highly recommended to exhaust the hot air outside of the building.

Mini Chillers - high efficiency "green"
chillers.
Since air cooled chillers transfer the heat from the process to
the surroundings in the form of air, the environment in which these
chillers will be used must be suitable. Air cooled chillers, for
instance, must be located in an open, well-ventilated space to avoid
overheating. The rejected heat from units with centrifugal blowers
can be reclaimed to supplement a building's heating system in the
winter and transferred out during the summer using exhaust ducts.
A air cooled chiller is often your only option if you don't have
an existing cooling tower. If you don't have 85° F plant water
to use for your condenser, we offer two kinds of high efficiency
air cooled chillers: standard and mini - both with top discharge
propeller fans.
For larger models we use centrifugal blower condenser for heat
reclaim. Contact our office for more information.
