This flat rack skid contains eight packaged chillers piped together creating a total combined a cooling capacity of more than 120 tons. It is designed for mobility and energy savings – two key features given the application, cloud computing data center cooling. The chillers on this skid are used to cool a remote data center.… Read more …
One big point we try to get across to our customers is that custom does not mean costly. This job is a great example of that idea. The picture to the left is one of our standard air cooled chillers, an ACCT140, with the addition of ambient air filters. The customer for this job approached… Read more …
One customization that we see very often is portability. We have made portable chillers large and small for all different types of processes, most commonly in wine making applications and for laboratory use. Pictured here is a standard 25 ton chiller with a reinforced frame and caster wheels. For smaller portable chillers there is usually… Read more …
Corrosive and dirty environments pose many challenges for industrial equipment. Often standard units just won’t last, and some customization is required. When we were approached by a customer who extracts minerals for fertilizer and feed stock from salt water we were acutely aware that corrosion was going to be the issue and heresite coating on… Read more …
The design of this unit is an excellent example of General Air Products’ design ability vs. that of our competition. The customer we built this unit for required a cooling solution for hydraulic fluid in their test and measuring lab equipment. They had received several offers that met the needs of their equipment but these… Read more …
One cooling condition often overlooked when sizing a liquid chiller is altitude. An air cooled chiller works by drawing a specified volume of air across the condenser coils. As you go up in altitude the mass of the air is reduced (this is commonly referred to as the air “getting thinner”) and the chiller will not… Read more …
Shown here is a city water bypass manufactured by General Air Products for use with our air cooled chillers and water cooled chillers. The city water bypass consists of a series of solenoid valves that are attached to the chiller, to the cooling loop and the city water inlet. If the chiller were to see… Read more …
This air cooled chiller and duplex pumping station were tailored to meet the cooling demands of a customer who manufactures thick and thin film resistive components for the biomedical, communications, aerospace and defense industries. Heat removal is a critical part of film resistive component manufacturing process and given the small size of their products coupled… Read more …
It is not uncommon for processes that involve a furnace or high temperature oven to have a built in viewing port where a thermal camera is installed to take images of the product as it passes through. What is uncommon are the temperatures that require cooling – temperatures of 1500 degrees F are often reached.… Read more …
General Air Products was contacted by a customer who runs water cooled centrifugal air compressors 24/7 as part of their day to day operation. Given the high air usage on these water cooled air compressors and the environment that they are housed in we designed and built a series of air fluid coolers piped in… Read more …
