The Conair Series 1 Portable Chillers provide self-contained
sources of chilled water and are available in either water- or
air-cooled models. Ranging in size from 1.5 Hp to 13 Hp in
the air-cooled configuration and 1.5 Hp to 15 Hp in the water-
cooled design [approximate capacities of 1.5 tons of refrigera-
tion to 15 tons of refrigeration]. Pump selections are available
to match most process flow and pressure requirements.
The normal temperature range of discharge chilled water is
20 °F (7 °C) to 70 °F (21 °C). For applications requiring tem-
peratures of 40 °F (4 °C) and lower, mix glycol with the
water to the correct percentage.
The Air-cooled Portable Chiller A1 Models and Water-cooled
Portable Chiller W1 Models are designed to provide chilled
fluid for industrial applications requiring 24-hour-a-day per-
formance. Units are totally self-contained for easy, economical
installation. All parts wetted by the process are non-ferrous.
To operate, simply connect the power source, process piping
and fill with water or with industrial grade ethylene glycol or
propylene glycol (but not automotive antifreeze).
These chillers are ideal for machine-side cooling to maintain
process temperatures in an injection molding machine or
extruder and wherever you need a small, portable cooling unit.
Nominal capacities range from 1.44 to 14.68 tons for the
water-cooled models and from 1.18 to 10.95 tons for the air-
cooled models. Capacities are based on standard pump sizes
and delivering 50 °F (10 °C) water.
Operation of these units differ only in the medium used to
remove heat from the refrigerant in the condensers. Water-
cooled models use 85 °F (29 °C) or lower cooling water from
a tower, well, or city service; air-cooled models use 95 °F
(35 °C) maximum ambient air.
Choose Water-cooled Portable Chillers where tower water or
another inexpensive water source is available. Choose Air-
cooled models for maximum portability of the unit. Water-
cooled models are equipped with brazed plate or tube-in-tube
condensers. Air-cooled models use aluminum-fin, copper-tube
condensers.
All standard voltages are available.
