With the help of a chiller, you can lower the temperature of a space, reduce the temperature of machinery, and process fluids. Many pieces of equipment in production environments run the risk of malfunctioning as a result of overheating, which is why chiller units are so crucial.
But if it’s your first time proceeding with chiller hire, you’ll probably have a few questions, such as how much you can expect to pay and what the process for chiller hire looks like. Luckily, when you ask, we answer. Here are a few of the most commonly asked questions about chiller hire and what you need to do.
Simply put, a chiller unit cools things down. You might have overheating machinery or simply a workspace that’s too hot to be pleasant for your employees. Chiller units allow you to cool down a space or item quickly and easily.
When you’re working in a manufacturing environment, preventing processes from overheating is crucial. As well as protecting machinery, industrial chillers are water-efficient. And the benefit of rental rather than purchase means maximum cost-efficiency. You’ll only use the chiller units as and when you need them – no unnecessary spending on items you’re not putting to good use.
Many large manufacturers rely on chiller hire to ensure a safe working environment, whether that’s cooling down machinery or providing air conditioning so that workers can get on with the job in pleasant and comfortable conditions.
It’s best to work with a chiller rental company that offers a wide range of chiller sizes. The most common sizes of chillers for hire are 275kw, 300kw, 350kw, 380kw, 400kw, 500kw, 600kw, 700kw, and 1000kw.
The size of the chiller will depend on the size of the space or machinery you’re cooling. If you’re not sure which size chiller you’ll need, consult with the chiller rental provider for advice.
Don’t be put off hiring a chiller by the fear of a complicated system – it’s easier than you think. You’ll start by discussing your needs with your provider, which might entail a site survey where your requirements will be observed in detail. From there, a detailed proposal will be made.
Once you’ve put through an order, you’ll receive all the necessary safety documentation and a delivery date. The chiller will be brought on-site – with a lorry-mounted crane for larger chillers.
The installer will need access to electric and water systems. Once this is complete, rental systems will be commissioned by F-gas-qualified engineers. During the rental period of your chillers, you can liaise with your chosen hire company about maintenance, any technical issues, and whether you need to hire more chiller units.
Here at Advanced Cooling, for example, we offer 24/7 call-outs as standard, with reliable maintenance wherever and whenever you need it.
