Galletti - Galetti LCX082 Water chiller

• Cooling process water for industrial machinery such as injection moulding, CNC machines, and laser cutters.
• Temperature control in food and beverage production, including breweries, dairies, and bakeries.
• HVAC applications for large commercial or industrial buildings requiring precise temperature management.
• Pharmaceutical manufacturing for maintaining specific temperatures during drug production and storage.
• Chemical processing where exothermic reactions require consistent cooling to ensure safety and product quality.

Typical cooling capacity

For this class of equipment, cooling capacities commonly range from 80 kW to 120 kW, depending on the specific model variant and operating conditions.

Power supply

Units of this type typically require a 400V, 3-phase electrical supply, consistent with industrial equipment standards in the UK.

Refrigerant type

Modern industrial chillers commonly use refrigerants such as R410A or R134a, though buyers should verify the specific refrigerant used in this unit.

Temperature control range

Adjustable temperature controls commonly allow for a chilled water outlet temperature range of approximately +5°C to +20°C.

Footprint

Outdoor-mounted four-fan systems typically have a footprint of around 2.5m to 3.5m in length and 1m to 1.5m in width.

Noise level

For outdoor units, noise levels are typically in the range of 65-75 dB(A) at 1 metre, depending on fan speed and load.

• What is the typical lifespan of a used industrial chiller?

  With proper maintenance, industrial chillers can have a service life of 10 to 15 years or more. Regular servicing is crucial for longevity.

• What kind of maintenance does a chiller like this require?

• Can this chiller be used indoors or outdoors?

• What are the common causes of chiller inefficiencies?

• Is a pre-purchase inspection recommended for used chillers?

Industrial chillers are valued for reliable temperature control in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise units with consistent cooling capacity and minimal maintenance history when purchasing used equipment. Key considerations include compressor condition, refrigerant type compatibility, and ease of spare parts availability. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Common strengths include energy efficiency improvements in newer models and adaptability to various production scales. Proper installation and routine servicing remain essential for long-term performance.
