Hitema ECA012 Chiller

• Cooling process water for food and beverage production lines.
• Maintaining precise temperatures in fermentation and storage vessels.
• Chilling ingredients or finished products to extend shelf life.
• Temperature control for packaging machinery and climate-controlled environments.

Typical cooling capacity

For this class of equipment, cooling capacities commonly range from 10 kW to 50 kW, depending on the specific model and application.

Refrigerant type

Units of this type often utilise refrigerants such as R407C or R410A, selected for their efficiency and regulatory compliance.

Power supply

Industrial chillers typically require a 3-phase electrical supply, commonly 400V, 50Hz, with amperage requirements varying by capacity.

Pressure ratings

Refrigerant circuit maximum pressures are typically in the range of 25-30 bar, while water side pressures are commonly around 3-6 bar.

Footprint

Compact industrial chillers often have a footprint of approximately 1m x 1m to 2m x 1.5m, suitable for integration into existing plant layouts.

Temperature range

Process chillers are typically designed to deliver chilled water or glycol mixtures at temperatures ranging from -10°C to +20°C.

• What maintenance is typically required for a used industrial chiller?

  Regular maintenance for industrial chillers commonly includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning condenser coils, inspecting electrical connections, and verifying pump performance. Annual servicing by a qualified technician is recommended.

• Can this chiller be used with glycol?

• What are the typical installation requirements for a chiller of this size?

• How do I determine if this chiller is suitable for my application?

• What is the expected lifespan of a well-maintained used chiller?

Chillers and recirculating coolers hold strong reputation in laboratory and biotech sectors for temperature stability and process reliability. Buyers typically prioritise checking refrigeration system condition, pump functionality, and temperature control accuracy when purchasing used units. Industry sentiment favours models with robust construction and established service records. Common strengths include consistent cooling performance, energy efficiency relative to age, and durability when properly maintained. Verification of calibration history and cooling capacity specifications remains essential before purchase to ensure suitability for sensitive applications.
