Process Chillers are engineered for high-efficiency industrial cooling, offering capacities up to 1 500 kW and advanced features like cross‑V geometry condensing modules with microchannel technology and Electronic Expansion Valves (EEVs) to optimise gas temperature and pressure control. Utilising scroll compressors and microchannel condensers, these chillers ensure low noise levels and modular accessibility for maintenance. Available in compact and high-duty configurations, with options for free cooling to reduce energy consumption by over 60%, they’re ideal for demanding applications across plastics, pharmaceuticals, food & beverage, metalworking, and more.
The chiller systems provided by Summit Process Cooling can help you achieve a reduced environmental footprint, offering powerful capacities – up to 70kW – with reduced energy consumption. Our FC versions are installed with an integrated free cooler, further improving your environmental impact by saving more than 60% of energy.
Offering a broad range of systems, we tailor our solution, making sure your unit is optimal for your needs. For help choosing a solution, we recommend getting in touch with our expert team today.
Beyond this, our systems come standard with a cross-V-geometry module and an Electronic Expansion Valve. This allows for improved air distribution and accessibility of components and guarantees improved capacity through an optimised gas temperature and evaporation pressure.
Our systems are used across a wide range of sectors, including:
Each of these applications may require a different chiller to optimally serve its function. Here at Summit Process Cooling, we provide a wide range of products intended for every application. For help identifying which solution best suits your needs, get in touch with our expert team.

A Process Cooling Chiller is a thermal device specifically designed to control and decrease excessive heat generated by various industrial processes. This cooling mechanism operates on a closed-loop system, continuously circulating chilled water (or air) to effectively lower process temperatures.
HVAC and process chillers serve different functions. HVAC is primarily used to regulate the temperature in environmental spaces such as homes, offices, and commercial buildings. On the other hand, process chillers are engineered to cool manufacturing processes. They play a critical role in industries by maintaining the desired temperature for machines and processes to function effectively.
While both types share the same cooling principles, their application and design are tailored to meet different cooling requirements.
Industrial chillers come in a variety of types, each designed for specific cooling requirements. Here at Summit Process Cooling, we offer a range of types including Air Cooling, Water-Cooled, and Free Cooling Chillers.
Each type is engineered to provide efficient cooling for diverse industrial needs. Learn more about the different types of chiller here.
Chillers work by removing heat from a liquid, often via a vapour-compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. This cooled liquid then circulates through a system to absorb heat.
The specifics of how this process works will depend on your chiller type. For example, water-cooled chillers rely on a condenser water loop and a cooling tower to expel heat, making them efficient for large-scale applications. By comparison, air-cooled chillers use air to discard heat from the condenser, making them ideal for smaller applications where space or water availability is limited.
After your unit has been manufactured and installed, our expert team provides after-sales and repair services to ensure that your solution serves you for years to come. Didn’t buy your chiller from Summit Process Cooling? Our team is still available to help guide you and we provide spare parts for a range of makes and models.
We offer expert technical advice and assistance in the event of a breakdown. We aim to ensure uptime and increase efficiency for all of our customers’ cooling systems, with or without a maintenance contract.
We are not limited to our own equipment and can deliver the same service on any. Get in touch today, for help with stock spares, remote monitoring, energy saving, equipment hire, service engineer callouts, or our 24/7 technical support.
We understand how critical it is to get your cooling system back up and running in the event of a system failure. That’s why we offer prompt and efficient chiller repairs – our qualified engineers can arrive on-site without disruption and replace parts to address breakdowns on the initial visit.
We also provide emergency and maintenance packages. Get in touch today to find out more.
Looking for a temporary chiller system? Here at Summit Process Cooling, we also offer chillers for hire, designed for temporary breakdown cover or seasonal equipment which isn’t needed for 12 months of the year. Whatever your cooling requirements, we can provide a hire solution across England, Wales, and Scotland.
