Your Professional CNC Chiller/ Water Cooling System Manufacturer and Supplier Over 20 Years
CNC water cooling systems or CNC chillers are specially designed and manufactured for cooling CNC spindles and CNC machines.
TopChiller® is a professional CNC cooling system and CNC chiller manufacturer for over 20 years.
More and more CNC machines involve high spindle speeds and fast material removal rates which generate a lot of heat.
This heat is directly added to the cutting fluid/coolant associated during the process. The high temperature is not advisable as it can cause many problems including rejected /scrapped components, reduced tool life, and coolant wastage due to increased evaporation.
CNC cooling systems and CNC chillers manufactured by TopChiller are used to maintain precise coolant temperature by rapidly rejecting the heat added during the machining process.
You will benefit by using our high-quality CNC cooling systems and CNC chillers:
*To prevent the main shaft of CNC working machinery from affecting the accuracy due to the change of oil temperature.
*CNC cooling system can prevent oil shock and oil deterioration, and keep the lubricating oil degree unchanged, to make the spindle operate stably.
*CNC cooling system adopts the body synchronous temperature control panel to make the oil temperature follow the room temperature to prevent the mechanical structure from thermal expansion and cold contraction.
*The CNC cooling system has the function of automatic fault detection and display and informs the CNC host of the fault condition through the computer online, to avoid the damage of the parts.
These cooling systems or chillers are used to operate with water as well as oil-based coolant fluids.
CNC cooling systems and CNC chillers designed at TopChiller are available in the following configurations: packaged type chiller, Dip in / Submersible type from cooling capacity 0.5KW to 48KW.
Our professional&skilled team is experienced in the demanding requirements for cooling CNC equipment and machinery and can assist you in selecting the best CNC cooling system or CNC chiller for your application.

How does a CNC Chiller Prevent Spindle and CNC Machine from Thermal Expansion?
During CNC machine processing heat liberate from spindles rapidly. Discharged heat move towards machine lubricant as oil and deteriorate it.
A high temperature of oil may cause thermal expansion of different machine components and prevented by a control panel installed in a CNC Chiller.
The Control panel regulates temperature according to ambient temperature.
Which Latest Software is used to Design a CNC Chiller?
3D CAD software is used to design a CNC Chiller. It is advanced software that ensures the compactness of the unit.
It configures such a type of 3D design that enables easy access to all installed components.
What is the Cooling Capacity of a CNC Chiller?
The range of a chiller at which it can discharge heat from a heated fluid is called cooling capacity.
The cooling capacity of a CNC Chiller ranges from 500Kcal/hr to 15000Kcal/hr.
What is the Temperature Control Range of a CNC Chiller?
At a specific set point of temperature, a CNC Chiller performs its function efficiently.
25°to 40°C is the best temperature control range for its working.
How can a CNC Chiller Increase the Service Life of your CNC Machine?
A CNC Chiller increases the service life of a CNC machine by discharging extra heat produced by spindle rotation.
The temperature controller regulates the temperature at a specific set point suitable for the best working of the machine.
Protection devices maintain pressure, power supply, and pressure configuring an increased service life.
What are Some Leading Applications of a CNC Chiller?
Laser machines, milling machines, welding machines, plasma cutters, are the main applications where a CNC Chiller is used to reject heat rapidly from the system.
Which Refrigerant is used for a CNC Chiller?
R-410a is a chemical refrigerant that is installed in a CNC Chiller.
It works with high pressure and efficiently flows for heat release. Refrigerant is the main reservoir that is used for heat collection from the processing machine.
Which Type of Heat Exchanger is used for a CNC Chiller and How does it Work?
PHE (plate type heat exchanger) is used for heat exchange inside a CNC Chiller. PHE consists of plate type separation between two fluids for heat exchange.
Refrigerant and machine fluid flow in a counter-current manner ultimately with the exchange.

How to Install your CNC Chiller?
- Check factory-mounted components, switches, and wires.
- Filled the tank with water.
- Connect Water Inlets and outlet piping with a CNC machine.
- Connect power cables.
- Turn on water supply and ensure feasible water supply towards CNC machine.
