Split-System Air-Cooled Chillers

Split system chillers feature an outdoor air condenser, while the compressors are located indoors with the chiller evaporator.

The outside unit contains only the condenser coil and fans. Split system chillers are commonly used in various industrial applications, including medical, brewery, laboratories, blow molding, and more.

The condenser coil and fans are located outdoors
Commonly used in various industrial applications ranging from medical to blow molding

Our split-system air-cooled chiller systems are the ideal solution for application environments that cannot accommodate a packaged water-cooled chiller or a packaged air-cooled chiller.

With the evaporator and compressor installed indoors and the condenser installed outdoors, split systems provide the best of both worlds for superior industrial process cooling for medical, industrial, brewery, dairy, food processing, and many other industries.

Our robust, custom-capable split-system product lines feature many performance- and efficiency-enhancing features and options, with many units available for quick delivery. With an exceptionally high uptime rate and excellent after-the-sale support, trust our 50+ years of experience to keep your industrial processes running strong.
