Technical information
The Conair Portable Chillers provide self-contained sources of
chilled water and are available in either water- or air-cooled
models with ranges from 1.5 Hp to 30 Hp (approximate
capacities of 1.5 tons to 30 tons of refrigeration). Pump selec-
tions are available to match most process flow and pressure
requirements.
The normal temperature range of discharge chilled water is
20°F to 70°F (7°C to 21°C). For applications requiring 40°F
and lower mix glycol with the water to the correct percentage.
Conair Portable Chillers are designed to provide chilled fluid
for industrial applications requiring 24-hour-a-day perfor-
mance. Units are totally self-contained for easy, economical
installation. All parts wetted by the process are non-ferrous.
To operate, simply connect the power source, process piping
and fill with water or with industrial grade ethylene glycol or
propylene glycol (but not automotive antifreeze).
These chillers are ideal for machine-side cooling to maintain
process temperatures in an injection molding machine or
extruder and wherever you need a small, moveable cooling
unit. Nominal capacities range from 1.44 to 30 tons for the
water-cooled models and 1.18 to 30 tons for the air-cooled
models. Capacities are based on standard pump sizes and
delivering 50°F (10°C) water.
Operation of these units differ only in the medium used to
remove heat from the refrigerant in the condensers. Water-
cooled models use 85°F (29°C) or lower cooling water from a
tower, well, or city service; air-cooled models use 95°F
(35°C) maximum ambient air; and high ambient models use
120°F (49°C) maximum ambient air.
Choose Water-cooled Portable Chillers where tower water or
another inexpensive water source is available. Choose Air-
cooled models for maximum portability of the unit or if water
is unavailable.
Brazed plate condensers are standard equipment on all water-
cooled models. Air-cooled models use copper-fin tube con-
densers.
All standard voltages are available.
