The air-cooled chiller dissipates heat by means of fans blowing air across the condenser, without the need for external cooling water. The main distinction is that it does not require a cooling tower, making installation simpler and more suitable for environments where water resources are limited or water-cooled systems are impractical.
Split system refers to the separation of the compressor and condenser into distinct units. This configuration is appropriate for locations with limited installation space, insufficient ventilation, or where it is desirable to reduce the noise level of the main unit in the workspace.
Excessive ambient temperature reduces cooling efficiency and may trigger compressor overload protection. It is recommended to install the unit in a well-ventilated area where the temperature does not exceed 40°C.
The cooling medium and contact materials should comply with relevant standards (e.g., stainless steel, food-grade hoses, and seals). Leak prevention, cleanability, and indirect cooling via plate heat exchangers should be ensured to prevent direct contact between the cooling medium and the product. Compliance with applicable hygiene standards and validation procedures is also required.
Two aspects should be examined:
- Whether the condenser fins are contaminated with dust or oil; they should be cleaned with compressed air or suitable cleaning agents to maintain heat exchange efficiency.
- Whether the cooling fan is malfunctioning (e.g., reduced speed or stopped operation); inspect the fan motor and wiring, and repair or replace components as necessary to maintain proper airflow.
It maintains stable mold temperatures, improves product forming quality, and reduces the rate of defects and rework.
Stable temperature control prevents fluctuations in material properties, ensuring consistent color, viscosity, and coating performance.
Yes. The temperature control accuracy reaches ±0.1°C, with rapid heating and cooling response, making it suitable for component aging and performance testing.

Low-temperature chillers are used to ensure stable temperature control in reactors and fermentation tanks, thereby improving product quality and production safety.
Yes. It provides a stable low-temperature environment for materials, electronic components, or biological samples.
In the food industry, low-temperature air-cooled chiller supports quick freezing, low-temperature storage, and rapid beverage cooling processes.
Yes. The core cooling system relies on a chiller with cooling tower. The cooling tower removes heat from the condenser discharge water, lowering its temperature before it returns to the chiller for continued cooling support. Without a cooling tower, heat exchange cannot be completed, and the unit will not operate properly.
Inspect the following three points:
- Check whether the cooling tower is dirty or blocked (e.g., scaling on the filler or fan failure); clean or repair as needed.
- Verify whether the circulating water pump is short of water or has insufficient head; check the valve and pump performance.
- Examine whether the condenser is scaled; periodic descaling with professional cleaning agents is required to restore heat exchange efficiency.
Leakage typically results from aging or deterioration of pipes and components, such as failed sealants at pipe joints, damaged cooling tower filler, or corroded condenser copper tubes. Regular inspection of pipe connections, valves, and cooling tower water levels is essential. Any detected leaks should be addressed by replacing seals or worn parts promptly.
Not entirely. It depends on a stable water supply (tap water or circulating water) and sufficient space for cooling tower installation. It is not suitable for areas with limited water resources, small workshops, or temporary cooling setups such as outdoor construction sites.
It is best suited for large-scale facilities with fixed installations and high cooling loads such as industrial plants, data centers, and environments with reliable water supply.
Determine the required cooling capacity based on the total cooling tonnage of the injection molding machines and the number of molds, and prioritize high-efficiency models to reduce power consumption.
A water-cooled chiller provides constant low-temperature circulating water, which helps shorten cooling cycles and improve product consistency.
Choose a water-cooled chiller with two independent cooling systems, each operating at its own temperature, providing separate cooling for beverages and precise temperature control for equipment.
Select a system with ±0.1 °C temperature accuracy and a PLC touchscreen controller to ensure process stability.
Recommended outlet pressure: 1–10 kg adjustable. The system should include pure water filtration and online pH monitoring to maintain water quality.
Select a chiller compatible with cutting fluid as a coolant and constructed from corrosion-resistant materials to ensure long-term durability.
A water-cooled low-temperature chiller is recommended, as it can run continuously around the clock while maintaining stable cooling performance.
A 9.9–240kW water-cooled chiller is ideal for this setup. It provides sufficient cooling capacity, high energy efficiency, and reliable operation under heavy production loads.
A low-temperature water-cooled chiller is recommended, customizable for -35 °C operation and equipped with corrosion-resistant materials to ensure safe, long-term use.
Its key strengths lie in energy efficiency (the scroll compressor operates without suction or discharge valves, offering 10–15% higher efficiency than other types), stability (fewer moving parts, minimal vibration, low failure rate), and quiet operation (a smooth compression process typically reduces noise by 5–10 dB compared to screw chillers).
First, calculate the actual cooling load (adding a 10–20% safety margin). Then select between air-cooled or water-cooled systems based on the site, and determine parameters according to outlet temperature, ambient conditions, power supply, and installation space.
