Liquid-to-Liquid Cooling System

Liquid-to-liquid cooling systems can be designed and manufactured to OEMs demanding thermal and mechanical specifications.

When a large amount of heat needs to be removed and chilled facility water is available, a liquid-to-liquid cooling system may be the solution. A standard liquid-to-liquid cooling system (LCS) has a high-efficiency counterflow heat exchanger, tight temperature control (±0.5°C), and cooling capacities up to 20 kW. However, Lytron's engineering team can customize a liquid-to-liquid cooling system to meet an OEM's particular needs. Below are examples of what types of customizations can be made.

A customer had a total heat load of 25 kW and access to facility water. They needed to cool four independent heat sources and wanted the cooling system integrated into their machine. Lytron provided a fully engineered skinless liquid-to-liquid cooling system that included integrated temperature and pressure sensors and was designed for serviceability.

A large US-based manufacturer needed a rack mount LCS that could maintain a process water temperature of 25°C (± 5°C) on a critical section of its manufacturing line. The customer's application required 2.5kW of cooling. Lytron's standard LCS’s are not available in a rack mount configuration, however, Lytron's standard Modular Cooling Systems (MCS™) are. So Lytron's engineers started with a standard MCS rack mount design and added LCS components that would best meet the customer's needs. Lytron reduced the footprint of the standard LCS cooling system by utilizing smaller components that provided less cooling than the standard LCS, but provided more than enough cooling for the customer's application. The engineering team also added a temperature control valve that was accessible through a removable panel, thus eliminating the need for a temperature display and some electronics. The customer received a custom cooling system that met its unique requirements.
