Four numbers size an Advantage chiller: the heat load, the fluid temperature the process needs, the flow rate, and the air or condenser water the unit rejects its heat to. Send those and you get a model number, a price and a lead time. Pump, reservoir, voltage and control options we can work through with you.

Put the application in the message box: heat load in tons or BTU/hr, leaving fluid temperature, flow and the site ambient. If you are replacing a chiller, the model number off the nameplate is usually enough to start.
Rather talk it through?
The Numbers That Size a Chiller
Heat load, leaving fluid temperature and flow rate. Load is the one people guess at, so if you do not have it in tons or BTU/hr, send what the chiller is cooling instead: press tonnage and material throughput on a molding machine, kW on a laser or spindle, vessel volume and pull-down time on a tank. We work the load out from that and show the arithmetic.
Then tell us where the heat goes. An air-cooled unit is rated against the hottest air it will breathe, so give the summer design ambient at the installed location, not the yearly average. A water-cooled unit needs the condenser water temperature and the pressure available at the connection.
Water or Glycol
If the process runs below freezing, or any of the piping can see frost, the loop carries a glycol mix, and the mix changes capacity, pump power and pressure drop. Give us the lowest temperature the fluid has to reach and whether it is water, propylene glycol or ethylene glycol. Say so if the product is food or beverage, because that decides the glycol type.
Power and Location
Voltage, phase and frequency at the disconnect, and whether the unit sits indoors, outdoors on a pad, or splits with a remote condenser. An outdoor unit also needs the winter low, because cold-weather operation is an option that has to be ordered rather than assumed.
Replacing an Existing Chiller
Photograph the nameplate and send the picture. An Advantage model number carries the series, the nominal size and the condenser type, so we can confirm the current equivalent without a new load calculation. Add what has changed since the unit went in: more machines on the loop, a lower setpoint, a different fluid.
No nameplate? Send the compressor horsepower, the connection sizes and the supply voltage. That is normally enough to place the unit in a family.
One Machine or the Whole Plant
A portable chiller on one press and a central system on a plant loop are different purchases even at the same tonnage. Tell us how many process points share the chilled water, how far apart they are, and whether more are planned. That decides between portable units, a packaged central chiller, or chilling modules with a pump tank station.
Quantity, Schedule and Destination
Send the real quantity and a need-by date so we can say which sizes are quick builds and which are scheduled. A ship-to city puts freight on the quote instead of leaving it to a later invoice.
How It Works
From Request to Quote
1.
Send the Application
The form on this page, an email or a phone call. A marked-up equipment list or a nameplate photo works as well as a typed specification.
It does not have to be complete. If a number is missing we will say which one and why we need it.
2.
We Size and Select
We work out the heat load, check it against rated capacity at your fluid temperature and ambient, and pick the model with sensible margin, not the next size up by habit.
If the load falls between two sizes, or a portable and a central unit both fit, you see both with the trade-off spelled out.

You Get a Quote
A model number, a price, a lead time and the conditions the selection is rated at, so the numbers can be checked.
Dimensions, electrical data and the literature PDF come with it, before you commit to an order.
