What is a Plate Chiller? An immersion chiller is a device that cools wort from boiling to fermentation temperature quickly. It works by immersing the entire pot of liquid in cold water and ice. This type of chiller is often used by homebrewers because it is cheaper [...]

Evaporative condensers and cooling towers are both used to reject heat from refrigeration and HVAC systems, but they work differently and serve different functions. This guide explains what each device does, how they compare, and which is the right choice for your application. What is an Evaporative [...]

Chiller vs Cooling Tower: What's the Difference? Chillers and cooling towers are often mentioned together — and for good reason. In a typical open-circuit water-cooled chiller plant, a cooling tower provides heat rejection for the chiller. The two devices serve completely different functions, and other engineered heat-rejection [...]

A dry cooler and a chiller solve different temperature problems. A dry cooler rejects sensible heat from a circulating liquid to outdoor air. A chiller uses a refrigeration cycle to produce chilled liquid at a controlled temperature, including temperatures below the outdoor dry-bulb temperature. The correct choice [...]
