CHILLERS

Whatever your chiller needs, from specifying to purchasing, our NH3 Custom Packaged Systems has the solution. Our family of chillers enables us to achieve superior efficiency at true operating conditions without compromising the environment. We are committed to providing the right refrigerant in the right equipment at the right time. We design all of our chillers utilizing industrial duty components for maximum reliability providing the highest return on investment.

EXPLOSION PROOF CHILLER

Explosion proof chillers are engineered to ensure that no spark will be released from the electrical components of the chiller, which could ignite the explosive gases present in the specified areas. We use custom designed enclosures around motors, switches, and other electrical components, which are connected by special wiring conduits.

All chillers can be supplied to meet NEC standards for Class 1. Division 1 and 2, Groups C & D with optional Group B for some applications.

Standard features

  • Open drive reciprocating or screw compressors
  • Water-cooled chillers to meet Class 1. Division 1, Group D
  • Air-cooled chillers with non-sparking fans with totally enclosed air over motors for use in Class 1. Division 2, Group D
  • Local controls with type Z purge panel to meet Class 1. Division 2, Group D
  • Remotely mounted controls for Class 1. Division 1, Group D

LOW TEMPERATURE CHILLER

We specialize in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of low temperature chillers. Low temperature systems are defined as +20 deg. F and below for fluid set points. Systems include single stage mechanical refrigeration to –40 deg. F, two stage systems to –60 deg. F, and cascade systems down to –80 deg. F. We can also provide CO2/ ammonia cascade systems for temperatures down to –65 deg. F. For lower temperature requirements we construct liquid nitrogen systems down to –160 deg. F. Capacities range from 5 tons on up.
Options include:

  • Screw or reciprocating compressors
  • Indoor, Outdoor, or explosion proof systems
  • Air cooled, water cooled, or evaporative condensing
  • All types of refrigerants
  • All types of secondary heat transfer fluids
  • PLC control

AMMONIA CHILLER

Ammonia has been the refrigerant of choice for large industrial systems for decades. The reliability and durability of ammonia components provide for the lowest life cycle cost of any chiller over a 20-year cycle.

It is a well-known fact that industrial chillers operate at design conditions less than 1% of the time. Ammonia has the best part load performance of any available refrigerant.

We specialize in the design, engineering, and manufacturing of ammonia chillers. We can design a system just for your application. We can provide compact ammonia chillers from 30 to 200 tons, and large central chiller applications up to 700 tons.

Options include

  • Open drive reciprocating or screw compressors
  • Air cooled, water cooled, or evaporative condensing
  • Direct expansion, flooded, plate & frame, or shell & tube designs
  • PLC control
  • Chiller pumping systems available on the skid
  • Complete system packaged in a weatherproof shipping container
