Recirculating Chillers

Custom recirculating chillers provide OEM’s with a solution to their demanding thermal requirements.

Recirculating chillers provide precise temperature control and cooling below ambient temperature. Recirculating chillers can be designed as stand-alone systems or for integration within a larger system. Lytron designs and manufactures both custom recirculating chillers and standard recirculating chillers.

Lytron specializes in the design and manufacture of custom cold plates, cooling systems, and heat exchangers. Below are several examples of  custom recirculating chillers designed for OEM's, which show our extensive engineering capabilities as well as the numerous ways the chillers can be customized.

Custom Recirculating Chiller Meeting the Challenge of a Tight Space Requirement  A customer approached Lytron needing a custom cooling system with similar capacity to an RC022 recirculating chiller. The challenge: It needed to be approximately half the usual size to fit within their existing design. Lytron’s engineers set to work, specially selecting compact components to fit the envelope and customizing the layout. Since the recirculating chiller was to be integrated into a larger piece of equipment, a ‘frameless’ design was chosen. RS232 control was incorporated so that it could be monitored and controlled through the customer’s system. Manufacturability and serviceability were considered throughout the design process. Lytron engineers worked closely with the customer’s engineering team. The result was a recirculating chiller prototype that matched all the size and performance specifications.

Recirculating Chiller Reducing Acoustic Levels for Quiet Operation A customer required the cooling capacity of an RC045 recirculating chiller but their application required reduced acoustic levels. Lytron enlarged the condenser and used variable speed fans to limit the noise. We also acoustically isolated the pump. These changes provided a recirculating chiller with lower sound levels to meet their requirements.

Not Your Average Recirculating Chiller This custom recirculating chiller looks like Lytron’s standard RC045 recirculating chiller. However, it is actually a custom chiller manufactured for a military OEM. It is designed for use with PAO and has a custom pump and custom hoses. Lytron leverages its standard technologies to design and manufacture cost-effective custom cooling systems for OEMs.

Compact Custom Recirculating Chiller An OEM needed a custom chiller that was shorter and lighter than Lytron’s smallest standard recirculating chiller, while still offering tight temperature stability. To meet the performance requirements, Lytron’s engineers replaced the typical tube-fin heat exchanger used in a standard chiller with Lytron’s highly efficient flat tube heat exchanger technology.
