Commercial & Industrial Chillers
Cooltherm provides chillers suitable for a range of applications, including in Healthcare, Education and Data Centres. Discover our full range below, or if you need further support, be sure to get in touch.
Water-Cooled Chillers
Water-cooled chillers feature a water-cooled condenser connected with a cooling tower.
Air-Cooled Chillers
Air-cooled chillers rely on a condenser cooled by the environment.
Natural Refrigerants
Cooltherm can offer a range of machines which operate using natural refrigerants, whose ‘Global-Warming-Potentials’ are measured in single digits rather than thousands.
Capacity Ranges
Cooltherm's chiller products come with a wide range of cooling capacities suitable for any application. Our chillers support cooling requirements across healthcare, data centres, education, manufacturing and storage facilities. Explore our cooling solutions for different industries.
Alongside commercial chillers, Cooltherm supplies heat pumps, air-conditioning systems and other commercial heating and cooling products.

R290 (Propane) Chillers
R290, a natural refrigerant with a GWP of just 3, allows users to benefit from enhanced energy efficiency and low environmental impact. What's more, it’s a suitable alternative to hydrofluorocarbon (HFC) refrigerants, which are currently being phased down globally due to their high global warming potential. Our range of R290 propane chillers has a capacity of up to 900kW and can achieve a maximum water temperature of 55°C, giving organisations and businesses greater flexibility, efficiency and performance when heating and cooling large spaces.
Nationwide recognition
Our expertise is widely recognised in the HVACR industry and has led to nationwide demand for our services. We are experienced in solving complex technical issues, such as re-engineering equipment, evaporator tube repairs, rebuilding centrifugal compressors, and retrofitting control panels. You can rest assured that you are partnering with experts, as we are accredited to both Quality Assurance ISO 9001 and the Environmental Standard 14001.
Case Study: Bespoke chillers at Royal Glamorgan Hospital
Royal Glamorgan Hospital’s pharmacy cold room holds hundreds of thousands of pounds of life-saving medicines, and its old chiller kept breaking down; this is where we came in. Cooltherm designed and installed a fail-safe replacement with standby cover, tiered alarms and full temperature logging, all without disrupting the day-to-day operations of the cold room.
Extensive experience in a range of applications
Our expertise is extensive, allowing us to support cooling requirements across healthcare, data centres, education, manufacturing and storage facilities. Explore our cooling solutions for different industries.

FAQs
A chiller works by removing heat from water, or another fluid, and sending the chilled liquid to wherever it is needed, such as radiators. Inside, a refrigerant runs in a loop: an evaporator absorbs heat from the water, a compressor raises the refrigerant’s pressure, a condenser releases that heat to air or water, and an expansion valve drops the pressure so the cycle can start over again.
Air-cooled chillers release heat into the surrounding air; they sit outdoors, need no cooling tower, and they suit everything from small to large applications whilst being simpler to install and look after. Water-cooled chillers use a water-cooled condenser connected to a cooling tower; they’re energy efficient, and they usually suit medium to large loads, but they need a reliable water supply and more space to be situated. If you are not sure which model suits your needs, our team can help you decide.
Most of the savings come from matching the chiller to how it’s going to be used. Chillers spend most of their time below full load, so a unit built for high efficiency at part load makes a real difference, which is what our Multi Power range is designed for.
If you need heating as well as cooling, our Energy Power range delivers both at the same time, so heat is put to use instead of wasted. Regular servicing also catches faults early and stops efficiency from drifting over time, so having a Service & Maintenance contract in place is always recommended.
Repairs are often possible for a wide range of issues. We carry out work such as evaporator tube repairs, compressor rebuilds and control panel retrofits, and we offer regular Servicing & Maintenance contracts. If breakdowns are frequent, running costs keep climbing, or the unit runs on a refrigerant that is being phased down, a replacement may be a better choice in the long run.
