Tricool S2/50 chiller

• Cooling process water or fluids in bakeries and confectionery production.
• Maintaining precise temperatures for fermentation or proofing processes.
• Rapid chilling of ingredients or finished products to extend shelf life.
• Temperature control for mixing and blending operations in food manufacturing.

Typical capacity

For this class of equipment, cooling capacities commonly range from 5 kW to 50 kW, depending on the specific model and application.

Power supply

Units of this type typically operate on 3-phase industrial power, commonly 400V/50Hz in the UK.

Refrigerant type

Modern industrial chillers commonly use refrigerants such as R410A or R134a, though older units may use different types.

Temperature range

Process chillers typically offer a temperature control range from approximately -10°C to +30°C, with precise set points.

Construction material

Given its use in food processing, the wetted parts and external casing are typically constructed from stainless steel for hygiene and durability.

Mobility

Units described as 'on mobile skid' are designed for easy relocation within a facility, often featuring robust castors.

Heating function

The inclusion of heating alongside chilling provides precise temperature control for processes requiring both cooling and warming cycles.

• What is a combi chiller?

  A combi chiller, or combination chiller, is a unit capable of both cooling and heating fluids. This allows for precise temperature management across a wider range of process requirements.

• What are the benefits of a mobile skid design?

Industrial chillers are valued for reliable temperature control in food processing operations. Buyers typically prioritise units with consistent cooling capacity and minimal maintenance history when purchasing used equipment. Key considerations include compressor condition, refrigerant type compatibility, and ease of spare parts availability. Industry sentiment favours models from established manufacturers known for durability. Common strengths include energy efficiency improvements in newer models and adaptability to various production scales. Proper installation and routine servicing remain essential for long-term performance.
