Portable Chiller Cooling Solutions

Advantage Portable Chillers for Flexible Applications

In industrial and process environments, Advantage portable chillers are essential for rapid, localized cooling in machine tools, laser systems, welding setups, and temporary production lines. These mobile units deliver consistent performance, prevent overheating, and support quick setup and relocation.

Advantage portable chillers feature non-ferrous fluid circuits, stainless steel pumps, brazed plate evaporators, and Copeland scroll compressors for corrosion resistance and reliability in demanding conditions. Available from 1 to 40 tons in air- or water-cooled models, they include casters, quick-connect fittings, and microprocessor controls with remote monitoring. Their compact design fits tight spaces and allows easy movement between workstations.

Advantage portable chillers provide critical spot cooling, emergency backup, and supplemental capacity across manufacturing and lab settings. Built with UL-listed components and engineered for plug-and-play operation, they meet NEMA and OSHA standards. Hot gas bypass, dynamic set point control, and diagnostic alarms ensure stable temperatures and minimal downtime.

Portable Cooling Solutions Achieving operational flexibility and fast response requires mobile cooling that moves with your process. Advantage Engineering leads in portable chillers with a full range of rugged, high-performance units designed for your application.

Machine Tool Cooling: Portable chillers maintain spindle, hydraulic, and cutting fluid temperatures in CNC lathes and mills for accuracy and tool life.

Laser System Cooling: Air- and water-cooled portables remove heat from CO2, fiber, and diode lasers to protect optics and stabilize output.

Welding Cooling: Mobile units cool TIG, MIG, and robotic welders, power supplies, and fixtures to prevent thermal damage.

Lab & Testing: Low-temp portable chillers support environmental chambers, material testing, and R&D with precise control.

Emergency Backup: Wheeled units provide instant cooling during central system outages or maintenance.

Process Supplement: Portable chillers add capacity during peak loads or seasonal demands without permanent installation.

Advantage portable chiller in industrial setting

Advantage portable chillers deliver targeted, mobile cooling to prevent overheating in individual machines, test setups, and temporary processes. They maintain tight temperature control in lasers, spindles, hydraulics, and welders, ensuring precision, uptime, and equipment protection. Their plug-and-play design supports rapid deployment and flexibility across production floors.

Common portable chiller types used in industrial settings include:

  • Air-Cooled Portables: Self-contained units with integral fans, ideal for indoor use where water is limited.
  • Water-Cooled Portables: High-efficiency models using facility water, perfect for high-ambient or confined spaces.
  • Low-Temp Portables: Glycol units down to -20°F for lab testing, laser diodes, and cold traps.

Advantage portable chillers include hot gas bypass, dynamic set point control, flow switches, and diagnostic alarms for stable operation. Non-ferrous circuits resist corrosion, while robust scroll compressors and oversized evaporators handle varying loads. Remote monitoring via Modbus enables proactive maintenance and fast response.

When selecting Advantage portable 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.
  • Caster Locks: Secures unit during operation to prevent movement.
  • Emergency Stop Button: Immediate shutdown accessible on control panel.
