SMC Smart Thermo-Chillers

The SMC smart range of thermo-chillers comes in an array of sizes, from standard and basic types to the high-level triple inverter-type chillers that adapt to the variable heat and flow requirements, and is claimed to achieve substantial power savings of up to 53%.

In terms of how it works, the recirculating fluid of the chiller removes the heat from a customer’s heat-generating industrial device. The heat is then removed from the fluid by an air-cooled (or water-cooled) refrigeration circuit. The coolant temperature stability is ±0.1°C within a set temperature range.

According to the company, when properly sized and selected, a thermo-chiller can improve productivity and the quality of the final product, protect valuable process equipment, and reduce costs. Thanks to proactive controls via a remote control, the units can provide self-diagnosis readings for customers to anticipate and easily manage any incidents.

The HRS-R Series is resistant to dusty environments or environments with water splashing. It has a cooling capacity of up to 5000 W (60 Hz), is IP54 rated and has a large capacity tank of 12 L; features a metal panel and a stainless-steel panel can be selected on request; and ambient temperature of 5 to 45°C.

The series HRR (rack mount) temperature control device is mountable in a 19″ rack that provides for space savings. Features include: temperature stability: ±0.1°C; temperature range of 10 to 35°C; cooling capacity: 1.2/1.8/2.4/3.0 kW (60 Hz); easy front access; easy to operate without removing the unit from the rack; and add-ons such as flow switches, pressure switches, filters, fittings and tubing are also available to order.
