Drop In Series Chillers
Drop in chillers are engineered to be installed directly into a customer’s tank, providing efficient cooling for various solutions (water soluble or oil solutions). Each unit is custom-built to meet specific application requirements and can be supplied with optional agitation pumps.
Standard drop in chillers come with stainless steel coils, other coil options are available inlcuding copper and synthetic materials. The cooling coils are protected by a durable frame and remote coil configurations are also available.
Available 1/3 to 100 Tons
Q: How does a drop-in chiller work?
A drop-in chiller is designed so the evaporator coil is placed directly into your existing tank or reservoir, cooling the fluid in place. This eliminates external plumbing between the chiller and the vessel.
Q: When should I choose a drop-in over a standalone chiller?
Drop-in units are ideal when you already have a process tank or bath and need to remove heat from it without re-engineering your fluid circuit. They are common in plating, parts washing, and immersion-cooling applications.
Q: Does a drop-in chiller need its own pump and tank?
Because it cools the fluid in your existing reservoir, a drop-in unit typically does not require the separate pump-and-tank package a standalone chiller carries. Circulation within the bath is often handled by existing agitation or a small recirculation pump.
Q: What capacities and temperatures are available?
Drop-in chillers are sized to the heat load and target temperature of your bath; consult the factory with your tank volume, fluid type, and setpoint. Low-temperature and glycol-compatible builds are available for sub-ambient applications.
