- Typical capacity
- For this class of equipment, cooling capacities commonly range from 5 kW to 50 kW, depending on the specific model and application.
- Power supply
- Units of this type typically operate on 3-phase industrial power, commonly 400V/50Hz in the UK.
- Refrigerant type
- Modern industrial chillers commonly use refrigerants such as R410A or R134a, though older units may use different types.
- Temperature range
- Process chillers typically offer a temperature control range from approximately -10°C to +30°C, with precise set points.
- Construction material
- Given its use in food processing, the wetted parts and external casing are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.
- Mobility
- Units described as 'on mobile skid' are designed for easy relocation within a facility, often featuring robust castors.
- Heating function
- The inclusion of heating alongside chilling provides precise temperature control for processes requiring both cooling and warming cycles.
