Arctic Chiller Pack

• Industrial process cooling for manufacturing lines.
• Temperature control for food and beverage production.
• HVAC systems for large commercial or industrial buildings.
• Plastics processing for mould cooling.
• Pharmaceutical production for reaction cooling and climate control.

Typical cooling capacity

For this class of equipment, cooling capacities commonly range from 100 kW to over 500 kW, with this unit specifically rated at 160 kW.

Refrigerant type

Units of this type commonly utilise refrigerants such as R404a, R407c, or R134a, with this specific unit using R404a.

Power supply

Typically requires a three-phase industrial power supply, commonly 400V or 415V, 50Hz.

Compressor configuration

Often features multiple compressors for redundancy and staged cooling, with this unit having six compressors.

Mounting

Skid-mounted or cabinet-enclosed designs are common for ease of installation and protection.

Condenser type

Air-cooled condensers with multiple fans are typically integrated, as seen with this unit's three-fan condenser.

Footprint

Dimensions vary significantly but units of this capacity will require substantial floor space or outdoor placement.

• What are the typical maintenance requirements for a chiller pack?

  Regular maintenance typically includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning condenser coils, inspecting electrical connections, and monitoring compressor performance. Annual servicing by a qualified technician is generally recommended.

• Can this chiller be used outdoors?

• What is the expected lifespan of a used chiller pack?

• Is R404a refrigerant still permissible for use?

• What additional components are typically needed to integrate a chiller pack into an existing system?

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.
