PTLD Series Low-Temperature Chiller

Overview

The PTLD low-temperature chiller comprises a refrigeration system, circulation system, control system and enclosure. Refrigeration is vapour-compression, with compressors and key components from established international brands. The circulation system includes the pump, buffer vessel, expansion vessel, vent and check valves, RTD sensors and piping. PID control with a high-definition touchscreen and multiple protective functions ensures safe operation. The unit both cools and heats, delivering heat-transfer fluid that matches process conditions. By default it holds temperature by compressor cycling, with a user-settable differential; an optional electric-heating version achieves up to ±0.1℃ accuracy, with heater power specified to order.

※ Notes

  1. Cooling capacities are based on 20℃ cooling-water inlet temperature; air-cooled units at 20℃ ambient.
  2. Flow and head figures apply to water at 20℃; pump performance varies with the density and temperature of the medium.
  3. Expansion tank volumes are indicative and depend on load, pipe length and height difference. Fill to no more than 2/3 and no less than 1/4 of the sight-glass scale.
  4. Buffer tank volumes are indicative and can be adjusted to the required ramp rate and thermal storage.
  5. Only part of the product range is listed. For other models or customised requirements please contact our sales team. Specifications are subject to change without notice.
