Process chillers
Process chillers are designed and built from the ground up to be more reliable, operate within tighter specified tolerances and to be more robust for continued operation when compared to chillers designed for HVAC. Our i-Chillers are specifically designed to cope with the rigours of manufacturing and critical processes.
Process chillers may cost slightly more than equivalent HVAC or comfort chillers but are significantly better value and fit for purpose in a critical process. A process chiller will deliver more accurate leaving water temperature, operate trouble free for longer, have a lower op-ex cost and a greater residual value.
Chillers built for process
Our range of process chillers is designed specifically for process, with features such as unique finned coil evaporators immersed inside the cold-water tank, making them less susceptible to freezing and able to cope with variable load and process fluctuations. The large integrated cold side buffer tank enables closer temperature control for process tolerance and reduces wear and tear from compressor start and stop operations.
i-Chillers have high-pressure pumps as standard to cope with the more complex pipework found in process applications. Being fully enclosed in robust steel panels not only protects but creates a smaller footprint for ease of access and plug & play installation.

Planet friendly process cooling
Designed specifically for industry applications, the planet friendly i-Chillers feature the lowest global warming potential (GWP), and ozone depleting potential (ODP) refrigerants. Unlike traditional HVAC units, our i-Chiller range has been designed with process applications in mind. As such, they can operate faultlessly and maintain accurate temperature control 24/7 under highly differing, and abruptly fluctuating operating conditions. The planet friendly i-Chillers represent continuous progress in our e-Mission critical initiative. This ambition encapsulates several intrinsically linked energy-saving concepts and a range of next generation low GWP and ODP refrigerants, helping our customers to save energy, reduce costs, and lower their carbon footprint in the process. Within the planet friendly portfolio, our customers can find solutions to achieve increased productivity, high temperature control precision, and elevated product quality with highest environmental awareness. <strong>Futureproof your operation</strong> The fluorinated refrigerants phase down in the UK and Europe requires that the production of virgin fluorinated gases (HFCs) is gradually reduced, and HFC consumption is cut 79% by 2030. This makes it even more vital to make a timely transition to high efficiency refrigerants with a low GWP. <strong>R-454B Refrigerant </strong> The R454B refrigerant is a non ozone depleting HFO/HFC* blend with a GWP level of 467, the lowest among the refrigerants available today for scroll compressor technology. R454B offers 76% reduction in direct GWP impact against R410A and 34% reduction against R32 refrigerant. The chillers with R454B will deliver higher seasonal efficiency compared to R410A, offering up to 6% improvement, and offer more application flexibility compared to R-32 thanks to wider operating maps. *HFO – Hydrofluoroolefins; HFC – Hydrofluorocarbons <strong>R-290 Refrigerant</strong> The R290 is a non-toxic natural refrigerant which causes no damage to the ozone layer. It has a GWP of 3 and excellent thermodynamic properties, offering higher energy efficiency ratio (EER) versus traditional alternatives. Applying R290 allows customers to avoid carbon taxes, benefit from national incentives, and future-proof their investment as R-290 is exempt from the HFC refrigerant phase out programmes. <strong>R-717 (Ammonia) refrigerant </strong> The R717 (Ammonia or NH3) is a natural refrigerant with zero GWP and ODP. Its performance allows for deep freezing processes requiring heat transfer fluids between -12°C and -30°C.

Free cooling chillers
Free Cooling allows businesses to recover up to 80% of their process cooling energy costs by utilising lower ambient temperatures to cool their process application and reducing the need to power the chiller. Available as independent units or integrated with your process chiller, free coolers can be retrofitted into your existing process or installed as part of a turnkey solution. Working with businesses in the manufacturing and facilities management industries, we have lowered their energy costs and reduced their environmental impact through free cooling systems. Given the intrinsically process-heavy nature of the UK’s industrial manufacturing, process cooling is one of the biggest costs incurred. For many industrial end-users, process cooling is achieved solely via an air or water-cooled chiller or cooling tower. However, all industrial applications with a water leaving temperature of 10°C or more – regardless of sector – can start to be cooled via the external ambient air temperature, rather than by electro-mechanical refrigeration, thanks to a process known as free cooling. <strong>Up to 80% energy savings</strong> One of the stand-out benefits of a free cooling system is the sheer amount of energy – and therefore utility bills – it can save. While free cooling can bring about a reduction in energy consumption for any process cooling application with a water leaving temperature of 10°C or more, it should be attractive to larger manufacturers, such as those working in the chemical and pharmaceutical sectors. Further costs can be saved due to the reduced load on the chiller – particularly the compressors and fans – as they are not worked as hard, or at all in some cases. As such, maintenance costs can be lower over the lifetime of the system. From a health and safety point of view, unlike cooling towers, free cooling systems pose no risk of legionella and therefore do not require additional water treatment costs beyond the norm to mitigate the risk of an outbreak.
