Common FAQs

An Advantage chiller is a precision industrial cooling system manufactured in the USA, used in food, medical, laser, and manufacturing processes where tight temperature control is essential. Advantage chillers are built with non-ferrous components, scroll compressors, and advanced microprocessor controls to prevent corrosion, reduce maintenance, and ensure stable operation. They support air-cooled, water-cooled, portable, and central configurations, with capacities from 1 to 540 tons.

Regular preventive maintenance and monitoring are key to maximizing Advantage chiller performance and lifespan. This includes checking refrigerant levels, cleaning condensers and evaporators, inspecting pumps and fluid circuits, and verifying control settings. The microprocessor controller provides diagnostic alerts for early issue detection.

Annual professional service by certified technicians ensures optimal efficiency and compliance with warranty requirements. Remote monitoring via Modbus or BACnet allows proactive maintenance scheduling. Following Advantage’s recommended service intervals minimizes downtime and extends equipment life.

Advantage chillers require routine inspections, cleaning, and performance monitoring to ensure reliable operation. Key tasks include cleaning air filters and condensers, checking fluid quality, inspecting electrical connections, and verifying refrigerant charge. The digital controller logs runtime and alerts for scheduled maintenance.

Non-ferrous components reduce corrosion, but periodic flushing of the fluid circuit is recommended in harsh water conditions. Factory-trained service includes compressor checks, expansion valve calibration, and system leak testing. Adhering to the maintenance schedule prevents unexpected failures and maintains energy efficiency.

Advantage chillers use environmentally responsible refrigerants tailored to application and capacity:

  • R-410A:Standard in most air-cooled and water-cooled units for high efficiency and zero ozone depletion.
  • R-407C:Used in select models as a reliable, non-ozone-depleting alternative with proven performance.
  • R-134a:Applied in certain low-temperature and high-ambient systems for stable operation across wide conditions.

All refrigerants comply with EPA regulations. Advantage engineers select the optimal refrigerant during system design to balance efficiency, safety, and environmental impact.

Advantage offers several chiller configurations to meet diverse industrial needs:

  1. Portable Chillers 1–40 tons, air or water-cooled, with wheels for mobility. Ideal for medical equipment and laser cooling.
  2. Central Chillers:Scalable systems up to 540 tons, modular design for plant-wide cooling with pump tanks and controls.
  3. Water-Cooled Chillers:High-efficiency units using facility water, perfect for indoor installations with heat recovery options.
  4. Low-Temperature Chillers:Engineered for -20°F to +20°F operation using glycol and hot gas bypass for precise control.
