If you're no stranger to the compressed air and gas industry, you've probably crossed paths with industrial chillers (or process cooling chillers) at some point. These unsung heroes, while not directly related to compressed air, play a vital role in various industrial processes, from food and beverage to medical, plastics, and printing.
What Exactly is an Industrial Chiller?
At its core, think of an industrial chiller as your kitchen refrigerator's industrial cousin! These remarkable machines excel at moving heat from one place to another, safeguarding equipment, product quality, and applications.
An industrial chiller houses a pumping system that circulates cooling water (or a water/glycol mixture) from the chiller to the process. This liquid is like the heat-absorbing superhero, whisking heat away from the process. Once it's done its job, the now-warm liquid heads back to the chiller, and the cycle begins anew!
Industrial chillers consist of four key components, alongside the trusty refrigerant: an evaporator, a compressor, a condenser, and an expansion unit. These components dance in harmony to chill your process, following these steps:
Chilling Benefits for Your Business
Process cooling chillers bring a wealth of advantages to industrial processes. One standout perk is precise temperature control, crucial in sectors like food processing and injection molding, ensuring product quality and integrity.
Another advantage is the removal of excess heat, preventing equipment shutdowns and reducing production downtime. Plus, by recirculating cooling water, chillers reduce water consumption, minimizing environmental impact and cost.

In the wine-making industry, nitrogen is used to prevent oxidation which allows the use of fewer additives. Also the acidity, color, aromas and natural flavor of the wine will be well conserved. The use of nitrogen will allow a longer storage time without alteration of the primary quality of the wine.
Nitrogen is practically insoluble in water and therefore is ideal to transfer the wine. To ensure maximum hygiene the bottles are washed and dried with nitrogen before filling. The drying goes faster than with normal air because the production process of the on-site nitrogen generator makes it a very dry gas. And finally the bottle, after filling and before placing the cork, is purged with nitrogen to avoid the presence of residual air in the neck of the bottle.
