RC Series Recirculating Chillers
Many industrial and scientific applications require powerful cooling to remove mechanical or electrical heat produced in equipment, or heat generated by an exothermic reaction, combined with high-pressure flow for rapid heat removal within confined systems. Grant RC recirculating chillers are ideal for these applications.
Before water became an expensive commodity, tap water was often used as a source of powerful high-pressure cooling. Unlike tap water, RC chillers provide a constant flow at a precise and repeatable temperature and can operate at temperatures as low as -10°C. They eliminate the use of mains water, minimizing scaling and corrosion of the equipment being cooled. Furthermore, alarms warn of any temperature or flow variations.
The Grant RC range of recirculating chillers includes four models, each consisting of a temperature control unit, a small tank, a refrigeration unit, and a circulation pump, all housed in a single external enclosure. The RC series is suitable for both open and closed-loop circulation.
The four models in the series offer cooling capacities from 350 to 3000 Watts. Hundreds of units have been supplied to the inkjet printing sector, optical fiber manufacturing, engine testing, chill whisky filtration, and the aerospace industry. We also offer customization of these products or any Grant refrigeration product to your exact requirements.
