Large Air-Cooled Chillers
The SBS-SBSF Series and SBS-MC Series from HITEMA are advanced air-cooled liquid chillers designed for industrial applications and outdoor installation. These high-performance chillers provide reliable, energy-efficient cooling solutions, with capacities up to 1288 kW. The SBS-SBSF Series features flexible options, including shell and tube or brazed plate evaporators, and can be equipped with water pumps and storage tanks for precise temperature control, even under variable thermal loads. These units are ideal for operations requiring consistency and efficiency, with refrigerants such as R410A, R454B, and R32.
The SBS-SBSF Series offers enhanced energy savings with integrated free-cooling coils, which reduce energy consumption in low ambient temperatures or when process fluid temperatures are high. The SBSF-OPT Series, an upgraded version, further improves energy efficiency with specially designed free-cooling coils. The chillers are capable of operating in environments with ambient temperatures as low as -20°C, thanks to their fan speed regulation system, making them a versatile solution for a range of industrial cooling needs.
The SBS-MC Series provides modular air-cooled liquid chillers with a low refrigerant charge, making them an environmentally friendly option. These chillers are equipped with brazed plate evaporators and feature a compact, modular design suitable for various industrial environments. With an IP54 electrical protection rating, the SBS-MC Series ensures reliable operation in harsh conditions.
All units in both series are rigorously tested at the HITEMA production site to ensure optimal performance, and Summit Process Cooling is proud to offer these advanced systems to customers across the UK in all industries.
