Outdoor central chiller for process cooling

For facilities needing reliable process cooling without sacrificing indoor space, air-cooled outdoor central chillers deliver efficient heat exchange and temperature control, supporting continuous and precise operations.

Delivers Efficient Process Cooling Solutions

The 30RB Series Outdoor Air-Cooled Central Chillers by AEC are engineered to provide optimal cooling solutions for industries such as plastics, food and beverage, and chemical processing. These chillers are designed to efficiently manage ambient temperatures from -20°F to 125°F, supporting applications from plastic pellet cooling to beverage bottle refrigeration.

The system employs a direct expansion shell and tube cooler integrated with rotary scroll compressors, ensuring precise temperature control for reliable process operations. Models range in capacity from 60 to 300 tons, with standard ambient operational capabilities suitable for continuous and manual operations.

With pre-wired and pre-piped installation-ready units, the chillers integrate seamlessly into your production line, minimizing setup time and space requirements. The use of R-410A refrigerant and energy-efficient components provides significant reductions in energy consumption. Multiple safety features, such as high and low refrigerant protection and flow switches, guarantee safe and stable operation.

Customization options include varied setpoint ranges and supplemental cooling solutions such as the AWK Winter Kooler. The system is built with durable materials, offering weatherproofing for outdoor use, making it an ideal fit for manufacturing plants and space-constrained facilities requiring robust, reliable cooling.
