Chillers
Why Buy a Water Chiller?
- Lowers water and sewage bills.
- Provides solid protection for processing equipment 24
hours 7 days a week.
- Reduces the number of rejected parts, thus increasing
parts produced.
- Maintains a self sustaining source of properly chilled
water.

How to Size a Water
Correctly
Specify the poper chiller for your load requirements. An
undersized chiller will always be a problem and will never
properly cool the process equipment. Here is a a table to
help calculate your load requirements.
Simple Instructions to Assure Proper Cooling
BTU=Constant (Weight of Water) x GPM x Temperature Differental
Multiply the fluid flow (GPM) by 500. Multiply the result
by the temperature differential or rise (return water temperature
minus the input or supply water temperature). Divide the result
by 12,000 and you now have your required rating.
