Process Chillers - Ultra-low Cooling to High Temperatures

We design and manufacture industrial process chillers with precise temperature control, long-term reliability, and worldwide support.

Building on four decades of thermal management expertise, Thermonics fluid and gas process chillers provide high-reliability solutions for all types of industrial and process cooling applications:

• Standard and custom chillers

• Temperature ranges from -110 to 300°C

• Cooling capacities up to 50kW

• Air or water cooled condensers

• Pumps and process fluids to match application

•  

Recirculating Fluid Chillers

We design and build chillers to meet a wide range of process cooling needs including footprint and heat load. Thermonics offers standard products as well as customized systems ideal for OEMs.

Fluid chillerscan be configured with the following features:

• Air or water cooled condensers

• Precise temperature control and process monitoring

• Turbine, Gear or Positive Displacement pumps

• Heat-transfer Fluids: Water, DI water,  EGW, PGW, Fluorinerts, HFE, Galden, PAO, Silicone Oils, others

• Communications: Ethernet, RS232/RS485, IEEE 488, 0-10V, 4-20mA, Dry Contacts

• Standards and Certification Options: IEC 60601-1, IEC 61601-1, SEMI S2, S8, F47, UL, MET, CE certified and RoHS compliant

Mechanical Gas Chillers

Mechanical gas chillers use clean dry nitrogen, argon or air to achieve temperatures between -100 and 300°C. Thermonics provides a wide range of process chiller options shown in the chart below:

Mechanical gas process chillers can be configured with the following features:

• 0pen and closed loop designs

• No LN₂or LCO₂required

• Gases: Air, Nitrogen, Argon

• Precise temperature control and process monitoring

• Very fast temperature transitions

• Communications: Ethernet, RS232/RS485, IEEE 488, Dry Contacts

• Standards and Certification Options: IEC 60601-1, IEC 61601-1, SEMI S2, S8, F47, UL, MET, CE certified and RoHS compliant

Cryogenic Gas Chillers

Cryogenic gas chillers support low temperature output dependent on the cooling medium used – LCO₂or LN₂, down to temperatures of -60 or -180°C, respectively. Typical applications for cryogenic gas chillers include low-temperature extremes and small footprint requirements, not achievable with mechanical refrigeration systems.

Precise Chiller Control

The TS Series Controller for process chillers provides precision control with touch-screen operation, easy-to-read information, remote operation and data logging.

Developed by our in-house engineering team, our controller provides many advantages over off-the-shelf controls such as PLCs. We don't have to rely on predefined functions that would otherwise be difficult to change. Able to integrate I/O capacities and manage firmware, for example, we have the flexibility to deliver complex functionality when needed. With control over programming and customization we don't have to compromise on meeting customer cooling requirements.

Process Chiller Controller:

• Displays critical parameters such as supply and return temperature and pressure

• Alarms for out-of-temperature range, low process flow, low reservoir level, and more

• Logs diagnostics such as component run time, valve cycle count, ambient and enclosure temperatures

• Displays temperature graphing

• Communicates via Ethernet, RS-232, USB

• Logs data, accessible via remote communications

• CE and RoHS compliant
