The unit will usually be supplied with a primary circulating pump as standard. THERMEX has the ability to customize the pump for particular applications and these should be specified at the time of order. The unit has an internal water bypass designed to protect the heat exchanger – it should not be closed under any circumstances

Process chillers are typically not for potable water applications although the chiller can be designed to supply potable water.
All Thermex chillers up to 50kW are supplied with a buffer tank – the buffer tank is an important feature in all chillers and the bigger the better. The buffer tank in a process chiller has many benefits such as
• helping protect the compressor from excessive starts
• preventing thermal spikes impacting on the compressor
• allows closer temperature tolerance to the process
• having stored chilled water to allow a managed shut down of a process should there be a problem with the cooling cycle
• allows for a vented design and prevent the need for a hydronics kit
All Thermex process industrial chillers are supplied with high efficiency scroll compressors supplied by Copeland. The scroll compressor is the latest in compressor technology. All Thermex water chillers use R134a refrigerant – R134a is a contemporary refrigerant with a low global warming potential. R134a refrigerant also has the benefit of being a low-pressure refrigerant gas – this allows Thermex chillers to operate in extreme ambient conditions- up to 52°C. Chinese and European manufactured chillers are rated at 35C ambient condition and are generally supplied with condensers that are not suited to these extreme conditions.
