Many industrial processes generate significant quantities of heat which must be dissipated as quickly as possible to prevent damage to sensitive equipment as well as prevent defects in the quality of finished products.

Industrial chillers are heat exchange machines which exert a cooling effect that helps to rid a process or machine of unwanted heat. An industrial chiller can be a significant purchase, so it is vital to understand how to maintain it to keep it operational for as long as possible.

Depending on the chiller types you are considering, the key features of this list may

Cooling Towers vs. Chillers

Are you wondering whether a cooling tower vs. industrial chiller is better for your application? Cold Shot Chillers is here to help! Cooling towers and industrial chillers serve similar purposes – both systems can be used to cool industrial processes such as food processing units, metal plating and more. However, they differ in their mode of operation.

To find out which system is best for your cooling needs, you should understand how cooling towers and chillers work.

How a Cooling Tower Works

A cooling tower is a large heat exchanger unit which provides cooling water to remove heat from a coolant (most often water) that has been used to cool machinery, process fluids, or buildings. When the cooling water meets with air, a s

How Does a Chiller Work? - Industrial Chiller System Working Principles

If your facility uses process fluids or heavy-duty machinery that generates heat, you’ll need an industrial chiller system to cool your processes and i

Different Types of Chillers for Industrial and Commercial Use

Chiller systems are essential for temperature control and cooling in several industries. Choosing the right kind of industrial chiller for process and space cooling can lower cooling costs, minimize downtime, and improve operational efficiency.

This article will cover the different types of chillers for commercial and industrial applications, as well as the pros and cons of each. The aim is to help you make an informed buying decision.

Types of Industrial Chillers (Based on Condenser Type)

The three major types of industrial chillers in use today are air-cooled chillers, water-cooled chillers, and evaporative condensed chillers. Let’s take a closer look at all three:

Water-Cooled Chillers

The most common types of water chillers u

Real-time Monitoring & Predictive Maintenance with Cold Shot Guardian®

Cold Shot Guardian® is our real-time monitoring app that automatically scans your industrial chillers for potential issues and notifies you via email or text immediately when they occur. The timely detection of problems may be the difference between a minor repair and a damaged chiller or loss of product!

App Functionality

The Cold Shot Guardian® application monitors water supply temperature, the water temperature compressor run time, chiller status, refrigerant pressures and temperatures, and a geo-map of its location. The system monitors all critical operation values and will send alerts if conditions are conducive to poor performance.  Alerts, alarms, machine fault codes, a permanent record of total run status, and
