Fully Bespoke Industrial Chiller Systems
Sometimes off-the-shelf chillers just won't do. We excel at designing and building chiller systems from scratch to fit your specific process.
Our engineers leverage deep expertise to create custom refrigeration and temperature control equipment tailored to your objectives. This means we can deliver cooling capacity, controls, and configurations that standard units can't provide.
- Unusual capacity requirements or special refrigerants
- Unique form factors for challenging installation spaces
- Custom controls and monitoring systems
Our portfolio includes numerous successful custom chiller projects across various industries.
- Dual-circuit low-noise 64 kW chiller for a medical MRI facility with anti-corrosion coatings for harsh sea-air conditions
- Life sciences cooling system with duty and backup chillers on a split skid frame for tight access installation
- Every bespoke chiller is thoroughly tested and quality-checked before delivery
Custom Enhancements for Existing Chillers
Already have a chiller or cooling system that needs improvement? Refcool can upgrade and adapt existing chillers to boost performance or meet new requirements. Our custom modifications range from retrofit upgrades to integrating additional cooling capacity into your current setup.
Maximize Existing Equipment Value
This approach is ideal if you face changing demands but want to maximize the value of your current equipment. We can add features such as secondary circuits, heat recovery, or free-cooling coils, or even convert systems to use modern refrigerants.
Case Study: Plastics Manufacturing
We helped a plastics manufacturing client enhance their cooling infrastructure when they moved to a new facility. We designed and installed a twin-circuit chilled water distribution system with large-diameter pipework to connect about 30 injection molding machines, supplied a new high-efficiency dry air blast cooler, and integrated these with existing equipment.
Minimal Disruption
Our flexible approach to custom upgrades ensures minimal disruption and maximum benefit. If downtime is a concern, we can even provide temporary rental chillers to keep you operational while we implement the enhancements.
Engineered for Unique Requirements
Every industry and facility has its own set of challenges, and Refcool thrives on meeting those unique requirements. We pride ourselves on our ability to innovate and tailor solutions no matter how complex the brief.
We design compact, modular cooling systems that fit where others can't. For example, we can build chillers on skids or in sections that are assembled on-site to navigate narrow doorways or confined plant rooms. No space is too challenging – our custom units are built to maximize cooling capacity in the footprint available.
When quiet operation is critical (such as hospitals or populated commercial sites), we engineer low-noise solutions. This can include special acoustic insulation, vibration dampening, and selecting ultra-quiet components. Our dual-circuit MRI chiller is one illustration – it was designed to deliver 64 kW of cooling with minimal sound, suitable for a medical setting.
If your facility faces high ambient temperatures, exposure to the elements, or corrosive atmospheres, we customize our chillers to cope. Refcool has built systems for high-ambient climates with uprated condensers and integrated free-cooling coils. We also apply protective coatings and robust materials for desert, coastal, or heavy-industry environments.
