Low-Temperature Water Chillers – Industrial Cooling Solutions
Low-Temperature Water Chillers
Low-temperature water chillers are advanced refrigeration systems that operate on the compressor-based cooling principle, similar to air conditioners. By using a closed-loop refrigeration cycle, these units produce stable high or low temperatures, constant pressure, and constant flow of circulating chilled water, making them indispensable for temperature-sensitive industrial processes.

Types of Temperature Control Machines
Low-temperature water chillers are part of a larger family of industrial temperature control equipment, which includes:
Heating Temperature Control Machines
-
Temperature range: 40°C–350°C
-
Also known as mold temperature machines (oil or water type).
Low-Temperature Control Machines
-
Temperature range: -60°C to +25°C
-
Variants: Low-temperature water chillers, ultra-low temperature freezers, and air-cooled/water-cooled models.
Normal Temperature Cooling Devices
- Range: 25°C–40°C
- Includes closed-loop coolers or cooling towers.
Industrial Air Temperature Control Machines
- Range: -40°C to +35°C
- Also called industrial air conditioners or cold air blowers.
Humidity Control Machines
Maintains humidity between 45%–75%, precision ±5%.
Temperature & Humidity Control Machines
Maintains 18°C–26°C with ±2°C precision; humidity 45%–75% ±5%.
Oil Temperature Control Machines
For hydraulic oil stations, lubrication oil, and CNC machinery.
Dual-Mode Heating & Cooling Machines
Provides instant high/low temperature switching in a single pipeline.
Heat Recovery Energy-Saving Temperature Control Machines
Recovers waste heat to produce ~60°C hot water for bathing or heating while providing cooling.
Types of Low-Temperature Water Chillers
Low-temperature chillers are mainly divided into air-cooled and water-cooled types.
Air-Cooled Low-Temperature Chillers
-
Built-in water tank and pump, no cooling tower required.
-
Easy to install and move.
-
Requires good ventilation; otherwise, cooling efficiency drops.
-
May produce steam if used in humidity-controlled cleanrooms.
Water-Cooled Low-Temperature Chillers
-
Variants: Open-type, Sealed (Box type), and Screw-type.
-
Requires cooling tower and water pump for optimal performance.
-
Open-type: Installed outdoors, easy maintenance but less aesthetic.
-
Sealed box-type: Attractive design, built-in water tank, popular in manufacturing plants.
-
Screw-type: Ideal for large-scale cooling, recommended for compressors over 100HP.
Advantages of Low-Temperature Water Chillers
-
Precise Temperature Control – Maintains set temperature within ±1°C.
-
Versatility – Compatible with various cooling needs, from plastics to metallurgy.
-
Energy Efficiency – Some models feature heat recovery to reduce energy waste.
-
Space Saving – Air-cooled models eliminate the need for a cooling tower.
FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How do I choose between air-cooled and water-cooled chillers?
A: If installation space is limited and ventilation is good, air-cooled is convenient. For large-scale cooling and higher efficiency, choose water-cooled.
Q2: What is the lifespan of a low-temperature chiller?
A: With proper maintenance, 8–12 years is typical.
Q3: Can I use a low-temperature water chiller in a cleanroom?
A: Yes, but air-cooled models may generate steam in high-humidity environments.
Q4: What is the maintenance requirement?
A: Regularly clean filters, check refrigerant levels, and inspect pumps.
Q5: Can one chiller serve multiple machines?
A: Yes, with a properly designed piping system and capacity calculation.
