Before we allow our process chillers to go into the field, entrusting them to consistently and effectively perform, we put them through the ringer. We apply a series of conditions, harsher than the ones they should ever actually encounter, and see if they break. We look for any errors in the manufacturing process that we can fix before we send them out. If they are in perfect working order, we put them on a truck and bounce them down the road for delivery, a rough process on its own. This means that we need to build sturdy chillers. We have figured out a few ways to provide that level of quality and hardiness, one of which is to bend our copper pipes, rather than to use brazed joints. This also removes any possibility for human error.

Process chillers have two sides: the process water side, and the refrigerant gas side. The heat is picked up from the process on the process water side, and gets transferred to the refrigerant side, where it is removed to air or water. In between these two sides is the evaporator, sometimes called the chiller barrel. Being that it is the gateway from one side to the other, it is essential that the evaporator is dependable and consistent.

Most of the time, process chillers are used for applications that are… less than interesting. While completely necessary to a myriad of operations, process chillers aren’t usually involved in engaging conversations, until now!
Since the start of the digital age, we have all become accustomed to video formats being discussed in terms of 720, 1080, P’s and I’s, HD and wide screen, but that’s not where it all started. The classic films that experimented with and dictated the movie techniques we stream online today were originally on film. That’s right, strips of light-sensitive, emulsion coated plastic. And, for the most part, these strips of plastic still exist! This is where Legacy Chiller Systems comes in.

Process chillers have a pretty simple job: To remove heat from places and processes that produce too much of it. They move the heat (BTUs) from one place to another. While the goal might be straightforward, the process that chiller systems go through to get the job done is comprised of many aspects. It really is a team of equipment that all works together to successfully keep the main process cool.
