The 6 step guide to choose the best chiller for your application


Heat is a single common by-product of today‘s manufacturing machines that include the advanced automation technology required for both high speed operation and high precision. Components such as spindle motors, variable frequency drives, laser and x-ray sources all require cooling to operate properly and reliably – most often in the very adverse manufacturing environments.

Liquid cooling has emerged as the most efficient and economical means of removing process heat

With manufacturing space at a premium, machine packages have become smaller and liquid cooling has emerged as the most efficient and economical means of removing process heat. Liquid cooling is especially well adapted to hot, dirty environments, where it provides a method of removing the heat from the machine and not contributing additional heat back into the environment.

A quick guide to choose the correct chiller

As each industrial environment is different, Pfannenberg designed a 6-steps guide to help you select the proper chiller for your application

Start selecting your chiller

Pfannenberg offers a versatile range of packaged chillers, ranging in sizes from 1 kW to 150 kW insuring the proper capacity available for most applications. These packaged chillers are ready to use requiring only piping and power to install as part of your solution for process cooling applications – we‘ll even provide the coolant. Ethylene & propylene glycol coolants, with proper corrosion inhibitors are available in a variety of packaging options – both full strength and pre-mixed. Each chiller model includes the pump, tank, refrigeration system and controls required for simple installation and reliable, efficient operation.
