Air-Cooled Chiller Cooling Solutions

Advantage Air-Cooled Chillers for Self-Contained Applications

In industrial facilities and process environments, Advantage air-cooled chillers are essential for reliable cooling where water availability is limited or infrastructure is absent. These self-contained systems deliver consistent performance in machine tools, lasers, welding, and facility-wide applications.

Advantage air-cooled chillers feature non-ferrous fluid circuits, stainless steel pumps, brazed plate evaporators, and Copeland scroll compressors for corrosion resistance and long-term durability. Available from 1 to 540 tons in portable, central, or outdoor configurations, they include high-efficiency fans, variable speed options, and microprocessor controls with remote monitoring. Their rugged design handles high ambient temperatures up to 125°F.

Advantage air-cooled chillers provide critical cooling for spot, emergency, and permanent installations across manufacturing and commercial settings. Built with UL-listed components and engineered for outdoor or indoor use, they meet NEMA 4X and OSHA standards. Hot gas bypass, dynamic set point control, and diagnostic alarms ensure stable temperatures and minimal downtime.

Air-Cooled Cooling Solutions Achieving reliable, water-independent cooling requires robust systems that operate in any location. Advantage Engineering leads in air-cooled chillers with a full range of high-performance units designed for your application.

Machine Tool Cooling: Air-cooled units maintain spindle, hydraulic, and cutting fluid temperatures in CNC machines for precision and tool life.

Laser System Cooling: Portable and central air-cooled chillers remove heat from CO2, fiber, and diode lasers to protect optics and stabilize output.

Welding Cooling: Air-cooled systems cool TIG, MIG, and robotic welders, power supplies, and fixtures to prevent thermal damage.

Facility Cooling: Central air-cooled chillers support plant-wide process and comfort cooling without water towers.

Emergency Backup: Portable air-cooled units provide instant cooling during water system outages or maintenance.

Remote Installations: Outdoor air-cooled chillers serve locations without water access, including rooftops and remote sites.

Advantage air-cooled chiller in industrial setting

Advantage air-cooled chillers deliver reliable, water-independent cooling to prevent overheating in machines, lasers, and process lines. They maintain precise fluid temperatures in spindles, hydraulics, and welders, ensuring accuracy, uptime, and equipment protection. Their self-contained design supports installation in any location with access to power and air.

Common air-cooled chiller types used in industrial settings include:

  • Portable Air-Cooled: Mobile units 1–40 tons with casters for spot cooling and flexibility.
  • Central Air-Cooled: Modular systems up to 540 tons for plant-wide cooling with pump tanks.
  • Outdoor Air-Cooled: Weatherproof units for rooftop or remote installation without water towers.

Advantage air-cooled chillers include hot gas bypass, variable speed fans, flow switches, and diagnostic alarms for stable operation. Non-ferrous circuits resist corrosion, while robust scroll compressors and oversized condensers handle high ambient loads. Remote monitoring via Modbus enables proactive maintenance and fast response.

When selecting Advantage air-cooled chillers, key safety features include:

  • High/Low Refrigerant Protection: Safeguards compressor from extreme pressures.
  • Flow Switch & Freeze Stat: Prevents operation without flow or at risk of freezing.
  • Phase Monitor: Protects against reverse rotation and power faults.
  • Fan Cycling & Speed Control: Prevents coil freeze-up and ensures safe operation.
  • Emergency Stop Button: Immediate shutdown accessible on control panel.
