Cooling equipment

Choose the heat-removal method that fits the facility

Required cooling capacity depends on system losses, power level, duty cycle, ambient temperature, coolant temperature, flow and the equipment included in the circuit.

Water-to-air coolers

Closed-loop systems that reject process heat to ambient air. A practical choice when the heat load and room conditions permit.

  • No facility water connection required
  • Simple closed-loop arrangement
  • Capacity changes with ambient temperature

Industrial chillers

Refrigerated cooling systems that maintain controlled process-water temperature under more demanding conditions.

  • Stable supply-water temperature
  • Suitable for higher heat loads
  • Requires correct capacity and service planning

Water-to-water heat exchangers

Closed-loop process cooling that transfers heat into an available facility-water circuit without mixing the two fluids.

  • Separates process and facility water
  • Useful with central chilled water
  • Depends on facility-water conditions

Cooling circuit review

Flow, pressure and water quality matter

A cooling package must provide the required flow at the actual circuit pressure drop. Hose diameter, workhead passages, coil tubing, manifolds, filters and elevation can all influence delivered flow.

  • Confirm heat load and duty cycle
  • Verify required supply temperature and allowable rise
  • Account for pump curve and circuit restriction
  • Use appropriate filtration and water treatment
  • Plan alarms, flow verification and maintenance access

Temperature and control

Measure the process—not just a convenient surface

Optical pyrometers and control components must be matched to material emissivity, temperature range, target size, viewing angle, response time and process environment.

Optical pyrometers

Non-contact temperature measurement for moving, inaccessible or rapidly heated workpieces.

Closed-loop temperature control

Use a suitable measurement signal to adjust power or terminate heating when the process requires it.

Process monitoring

Integrate alarms, flow switches, data collection and interfaces appropriate to production and quality needs.

Information to provide

Prepare for an accessory sizing discussion

These details help determine whether the requirement is a straightforward component replacement or a broader system decision.

For cooling

  • Power-supply model and rated power
  • Equipment included in the water circuit
  • Required flow, pressure and temperature
  • Ambient or facility-water conditions
  • Daily operating schedule and duty cycle

For temperature measurement

  • Material, surface condition and target size
  • Expected temperature range
  • Distance and available line of sight
  • Heating time and required response
  • Desired output signal or controller interface
