General Air Products offers a complete selection of standard and custom water-cooled chillers. Like air chillers, these systems play a vital role in keeping products, ingredients, machines, or materials at the right temperature. We offer tanks ranging in capacity from 1 ton to 60 tons for loop chilling, ensuring suitability for any industrial application, however big or small.
Maintaining Water-Cooled Chiller Systems
Keeping your water-cooled chiller in order is relatively simple. These well-constructed systems can help your operations run efficiently for years at a time when properly cared for. During continuous operation, give your chiller a thorough examination every quarter. Even if you don’t use it every day, you should service it at least twice a year to check:
- Cooling and condenser fluids: The fluids you use to operate your chiller need to stay clean to perform at their best. Check that these fluids maintain a pH of 7 and have not become contaminated by debris or sediment.
- The electrical system: Every electrical system needs proper monitoring and care, and this becomes doubly important when the electrical systems are working in and around water. Performing regular checks on your chiller system will protect your equipment and the staff operating around it.
- Any place water flows through: Depending on the water source you use for your chiller, it will likely bring small amounts of sediment and minerals through your system. These materials build up over time and need clearing out for continued operational efficiency. Pay special attention to any tubing in your chiller, as these areas tend to get the most buildup.

Water-Cooled Chillers With Recirculating Tank
General Air Products also carries a number of water-cooled industrial chillers with recirculating tanks. These models work similarly to our other chillers, improving on our original design with one key difference. These tanks incorporate coolant into the water flow, allowing you to cool things even faster.
Like the other chillers, the leaving fluid temperature averages 45°F. Explore the models below for specific sizing and cooling capacity information.
