WHAT IS THE MICROKOOL

The microKool portable chillers are designed to provide chilled water for industrial applications requiring 24-hour-a- day performance.

CHILLER?

Operation of air-cooled and water-cooled units differ only in the medium used to remove heat from the refrigerant in the condensers.

Water-cooled models use 85° F (29° C) cooling tower water, and are equipped with high efficiency tube-in-tube condensers with water regulating valves.

Air-cooled models use 95° F (35° C) ambient air and alu- minum-fin, copper-tube condensers. Units above 1.5 Hp include automatic fan cycling controls.

Units are totally self-contained for easy, economical installa- tion. To operate, simply connect the power source, process piping and fill with water or an industrial antifreeze mixture.

The standard PC-1 microprocessor control displays setpoint and actual temperature of the process fluid, and provides SPI communication. Nine operating and fault indicator lights dis- play the status of the chiller components.

The enhanced PC-2 control offers the same features as the standard control plus autostart capabilities, which enables the chiller to start automatically with a timing device or the start- ing of the primary process machine.

TYPICAL

APPLICATIONS

These chillers are ideal for cooling to maintain process tem- peratures in an injection molding machine or extruder and wherever you need a small, moveable cooling unit.

Capacities range from 1.2 to 10.2 tons. Standard operating set- points are between 20° F (-7° C) and 65° F (19° C) LWT. Adequate freeze protection is required.

Choose water-cooled portable chillers:

●for maximum capacity and minimal maintenance.

●when maintaining ambient air temperature is important, such as an air-conditioned environment.

●when tower water or another inexpensive water source is available.

Choose air-cooled portable chillers.

●when plant water supply is inadequate or limited.

●when process heat must be extracted and used for space heating.
