“WAT” Series Chillers
Our stand-alone water-cooled chillers feature built-in pump and tank systems and are engineered to deliver reliable, efficient heat removal by transferring process heat to a plant water source. Ideal for customers who desire indoor installation of their chiller without rejecting heat to the ambient air surrounding the equipment.
Available 1/3 to 1000 Tons
Available in sizes from 1/3 Ton to 1000 Tons, including options for central chillers, to meet any cooling demand.
Custom Configurations Available
System can be designed with/without sheet metal packages or any other custom configuration you may need. Call us today.

Q: How do Water Series chillers reject heat?
WAT Series chillers transfer process heat to a separate water source, typically a cooling tower, process water loop, or city/well water, rather than to ambient air. This makes them well suited to high-heat-load or high-ambient environments where air-cooled units lose efficiency.
Q: Do I need a cooling tower to run a water-cooled chiller?
In most installations, yes. A cooling tower, dry cooler, or other heat-rejection loop removes the heat the chiller transfers to the condenser water. Fluid Chillers can supply the matching tower or dry cooler so the full system is engineered together.
Q: What capacity range is available?
Water Series chillers cover the same broad range as the air-cooled line, from small process units up to 1,000-ton central plants. Capacity is selected from your heat load, condenser-water temperature, and required leaving-fluid setpoint.
Q: Are water-cooled chillers more efficient than air-cooled?
Generally yes. Because condenser water holds a lower, more stable temperature than hot ambient air, water-cooled units often achieve better efficiency and tighter temperature control, especially in warm climates or indoor installations. The tradeoff is the added water loop and tower maintenance.
Q: Can the condenser handle my facility’s water quality?
Condenser and heat-exchanger materials can be specified for your water chemistry, including options for hard, corrosive, or recirculated water. Share a water analysis so the heat exchanger and any filtration are selected to protect the unit.
