Air-cooled industrial chillers

Industrial chillers remove process heat from molds, hydraulic oil and barrels, keeping production stable through long runs and hot summer months. Perotec Systems supplies standard cooling solutions tailored to process requirements, including air-cooled chillers as a simple, reliable option for a large share of plants in the region.

When does air cooling fit your process?

An air-cooled chiller rejects heat straight to the surrounding air through fans, with no need for a cooling tower, dry cooler or extra water loop. That means a simpler installation, fewer maintenance points and a lower upfront cost compared with a water-cooled system. It is the usual choice for single machines or small to mid-sized production cells, provided there is enough space around the unit for unobstructed airflow — in enclosed or tightly packed halls, or with several machines in one place, water cooling or a central system is usually the better fit.

A correctly sized unit holds a stable mold temperature through the whole cycle, which directly affects part quality and production repeatability. An oversized chiller wastes energy through frequent starts and stops, while an undersized one loses temperature exactly when the plant needs it most — during summer and at full load.

How does Perotec Systems size and deliver the solution?

We determine the required cooling capacity from your plant's real heat balance — the mass of material processed per hour, melt and ejection temperatures, and the extra heat contributed by hydraulics and auxiliary equipment — not just from the machine nameplate power. We carry out this analysis free of charge. Once a solution is chosen, Perotec Systems covers delivery, installation and commissioning, operator training, and service and original spare parts throughout the equipment lifetime, across Serbia, Croatia, Bosnia and Herzegovina, North Macedonia and Montenegro.
