The Leading Concrete Chiller Manufacturer and Supplier Over 20 Years
Concrete chillers from TopChiller® are specially designed and produced to provide a constant cooling source for cooling concrete batching plants or concrete mixers.
TopChiller® is a leading concrete chiller and concrete cooling system manufacturer with over 20 years of experience.
Typically concrete is mixed into a batch that requires a particular amount of chilled water mixed in to cool the solution down after production.
Batch Cooling is the majority of the applications related to concrete and cement cooling.
A large amount of hydration heat is generated when the concrete mixing station is stirred, but due to the large volume of the concrete, a large amount of hydration heat is easily accumulated in the concrete and cannot be emitted, resulting in a sharp rise in the internal temperature.
However, the heat dissipation of the concrete surface is very fast, which causes a large temperature difference between the inside and outside of the concrete.
This temperature difference will cause the internal and external thermal expansion and contraction to be different, which will cause certain tensile stress on the concrete surface.
High-temperature tensile stress will cause cracks in the concrete, and cracks will cause corrosion of steel bars and carbonization of the concrete, which will reduce the freeze-thaw resistance, fatigue resistance, and impermeability of the concrete, and reduce the quality of the project.
Therefore, the use of a concrete chiller system can produce lower temperature water is used to reduce the temperature of the concrete leaving the concrete, so that the temperature of the concrete can be reduced to 20 degrees or below.
The ambient temperature in summer is very high, and the water temperature is not good for mixing.
Therefore, a dedicated concrete mixing plant cooling chiller can directly provide chilled water at 0-10 ° C, which meets the requirements of the country for quality inspection of concrete cooling sources for process cooling.
TopChiller has a wide range of concrete chillers from 120kw to 580kw using a scroll compressor and screw compressor with a temperature controlling range from -5℃ to +25℃.
Generally, water-cooled chillers used to chill the mixed water are the first cooling technique that we employ.
We typically use air-cooled chillers considering ease of installation, but sometimes take advantage of water-cooled chillers and cooling towers on larger jobs where water is readily available.
TopChiller has been in the design and manufactures of all types of concrete chiller and water cooling systems for decades years.

It can be added to the Concrete Chiller to increase its refrigerant capacity. It is very useful in case of emergencies where the main tank has failed to work.
Extra Set of Pumps
An extra set of pumps can be added to have 2 to 4 more pipes for a faster process. These can be used to make curing, mixing, and other stages of the process.
What is the Importance of Concrete Chiller for Hydration of Concrete?
The basic principle is that during the mixing and initial stages a concrete mixture is hydrated properly so that the proper mixture can be formed.
In the final stages, the extra moister and water content is eliminated from the hard and strengthened concrete product to finish the production.
Hydration is one of the first stages of concrete formation hence the most important one. A Concrete Chiller provides the water maintained at the required temperature and flow rate so that proper hydration can be achieved.
This controlled water temperature makes the hydration successful and concrete product a qualitative product.

How does a Concrete Chiller help in the Better Curing of Concrete Products?
Curing is the final stage of the concrete manufacturing process where it gets all its strength, hardness, and toughness. The strength of the concrete depends upon the way curing is done.
A Concrete Chiller efficiently does this function and a high-quality concrete product is achieved.
The temperature and flow rates are two important parameters for the curing and both parameters are accurately regulated by the Concrete Chiller.
It helps in better finishing and better quality in terms of hardness, tensile strength, and toughness of the concrete.
How does a Concrete Chiller Work?
Stage one: In this stage, all the parameters are customized and the Concrete Chiller is started. It might take 20 to 25 minutes to reach the set point of temperature.
Stage Two: When the refrigerant temperature is reached to the required degree it proceeds for the further process.
Stage Three: It undergoes refrigeration where it collects the heat of the water and lowers its temperature.
Stage Four: The chilled water moves to the pipe assembly while the refrigerant heat is eliminated from the system by the condensation process in the condenser.
Stage Five: The chilled water is supplied to the concrete process at fix flow rate and this cycle is repeated to provide a continuous flow of water to the process.
What is the Importance of Concrete Chiller for the Construction Industry?
Concrete industries highly depend upon the applications of temperature in all their manufacturing processes.
Either it’s concrete or concrete-based products the processing cycle requires a well-controlled application of temperature on various stages.
In the case of concrete, a Concrete Chiller is used from most initial stage to the last stage in its manufacturing.
It is used during the initial mixing stage of materials for concrete, then it is used for dehydration, and then finally it makes the curing process complete.
What are the Applications of a Concrete Chiller?
Concrete Manufacturing Process
It is the heart of concrete manufacturing processes where it is used at every stage. It’s mostly used in mixing, dehydration, water content perfection, curing, etc.
Concrete Based Products Manufacturing Industries

A Concrete Chiller plays its function in the mixing, where it provides properly chilled water and well-accomplished mixing of materials is achieved.
Then it helps in dehydration, which improves the internal structure and strength of the concrete.
Finally, it helps in curing where it improves the quality by improving its strength, compression strength, hardness, surface finishing, and wear resistance.
What is Portable Concrete Chiller?
It is a type of Concrete Chiller that comes with several uniquely designed features, like portability, strength, small size, and footprints, etc.
It is selected for some specific applications of the concrete industries. In a small concrete industry where a big Concrete Chiller cannot be afforded, a Portable is used to get the temperature regulation job done.
It is much cheaper than the Concrete Chiller. It has an advanced control unit that precisely controls every parameter.
With built-in wheels in the bottom, you can easily carry it around and apply it to many places. It takes less space, hence solving the confined space problems of your industry.

How to Make Selection Between a Portable Concrete Chiller and Common Concrete Chiller?
When you need to make a proper selection between a portable and a common industrial Concrete Chiller, it can be done based on the following differences or factors.
- When your industry has a problem regarding space, you should select the portable one. It can be installed in small spaces.
- Budget is the second factor for selection. It comes at lower prices than a common Concrete Chiller.
- The selection also depends upon the nature of the application. It is applied for large-scale industries, where a Portable Concrete Chiller is used in small-scale industries.
How Ambient Temperature Affects the Efficiency of a Concrete Chiller?
Ambient temperature can be a crucial factor while it comes to the cooling capacity of the Concrete Chiller.
Either it is too high or too low a temperature range in the environment will affect its performance.
The smart approach is one where you set the temperature of the Concrete Chiller considering the factor of ambient temperature.
The high range of temperature will cause the set-point temperature of the Concrete Chiller to decrease and it will not produce the optimum amount of cooling.
The very low temperature outside like in winter will also cause fluctuations for its efficiency and overall temperature control efficiency won’t be optimum.
It’s better to set a temperature on your Concrete Chiller that can also tackle the effect of ambient temperature.
What Factors Affects the Concrete Chiller Capacity?
Following are some of the major factors that cause inefficiency in the performance of a Concrete Chiller.
- Using dirty water as the refrigerant. It will cause several problems along with inefficiency in it.
- Improper maintenance or no maintenance at the proper time.

While a Concrete Chiller is only used in construction industries for the manufacturing of concrete. The basic work working mechanism is mostly the same for both.
It consists of compression, refrigeration, and condensation. The structural design and number of components can be different to some extent.
A Concrete Chiller contains pipe assembly tubes while an industrial chiller does not always have them. Both of these also differ in cost, maintenance, and noise levels.
How to Select Suitable Concrete Chiller for your Industry?
The concrete industry has different kinds of requirements and factors for a Concrete Chiller.
Many considerations are somehow the same, but the following given considerations must be kept in mind while making a selection of a Concrete Chiller for your concrete industry.
- For concrete, the temperature, flow rate, and speed of water are the most important factors for a successful manufacturing process. select one which can provide all these efficiently.
- As a Concrete Chiller is used constantly for months, it should have the capability to run continuously without any kind of decreased inefficiency.
- It should be energy efficient. Energy efficiency will save a lot of cost for your process when it is used for a long time.
- In case of a continuous process, you cannot afford to stop it for any kind of repair or maintenance. So select a Concrete Chiller that required very less amount repair and maintenance for a long time.
What is the Cost of a Concrete Chiller?
Its exact cost cannot be told as it varies based on its capacities and design.
A Portable Concrete Chiller comes at the lowest and cheapest price as compared to the other designs and models.
A Portable type comes at a cost range between 980 USD to 1300 USD. An average size Concrete Chiller comes in a cost range of around 20000 USD to 22000 USD.
What is the Difference Between Air-Cooled Concrete Chiller and Water Cooled Concrete Chiller?
Primarily they both differ in the type of refrigerants they both use. Air-cooled uses air while water-cooled uses water.
In the case of Concrete Chiller, the type of use and work mechanism of both are the two major differences here.
Air-cooled is generally used for central cooling in a concrete manufacturing plant.
This central cooling provides all the desired temperatures and conditions under which several concrete manufacturing processes are conducted.
While a Concrete Chiller is used in the process along with every stage of concrete manufacturing.
In terms of working mechanism, an Air-cooled works by suction of air inside the compressor and creating required cooling. Water-cooled works by the condensation and compression of liquid refrigerants.

What are The Benefits of Using Water Cooled Concrete Chiller as Compared to the Air-Cooled Concrete Chiller?
- A Water Cooled Concrete Chiller is used directly in the manufacturing process, hence more accuracy and efficiency are guaranteed.
- An Air-Cooled is used for central cooling, due to which it cannot handle the temperature more precisely as compared to a Water Cooled.
- Water Cooled can be used for a large number of functions during the concrete manufacturing process, while an Air Cooled cannot be used in this way.
How to Maintain your Concrete Chiller for Longer life?
- Keep details of the daily performance curves of your Concrete Chiller. If you see any kind of unusual performance go for maintenance.
- Grounding should be vibration-free and compact. It will keep your Concrete Chiller safe and maintained from the bottom.

What is the Optimum Flow Rate of Water for a Concrete Chiller?
The flow rate of a Concrete Chiller may change depending upon various factors. There is n no fixed number for the optimum flow rate.
First of all, it depends upon the need for the concrete manufacturing process, that what flow rate will be optimum.
Mostly, a flow rate of 30 ml/sec is assumed as the most optimum flow rate for concrete curing and other applications.
This flow rate is not too slow, not too fast. It is average and can provide a smooth supply of chilled water to the concrete and other construction products.
What is the Consideration of Water Used in a Concrete Chiller?
The water and its characteristics, you are using in it are of great importance. It not only affects the Concrete Chiller but also affects the concrete and another type of products you are manufacturing.
Following are some of the major considerations regarding water in a Concrete Chiller.
- Use clean water, as contaminated water can cause damages to the concrete products. The final quality of the product will be compromised.
- Dirty water is also a threat to the Concrete Chiller itself. It can cause corrosion in different components.
- Water with TDS and TSS, can cause blockage and clog in pipelines.
- TDS and other materials in water can accumulate in the different components of the Concrete Chiller and create big problems in a long time.
What are the Considerations for the Thermal Expansion Valve Unit of a Concrete Chiller?
The thermal expansion valve unit is a necessary component. It is responsible to handle all kinds of thermal shocks, expansions so that the Concrete Chiller can be safe and perform properly.
First of all, it should be made of quality materials. Many thermal expansion units are made of copper, steel, and titanium.
The titanium-based units have the best thermal expansion capacity and can handle a huge range of thermal treatments.
Secondly, it should be maintained properly. Its maintenance includes daily inspection, regular cleaning, and proper care.

How to Make your Concrete Chiller Less Noisy?
Lubricate Every Part Properly
Proper lubrication of every component of the Concrete Chiller will make their movements smooth and noiseless. Select a proper lubrication oil and lubricate them on weekly basis.
Maintain the Fans
Rusty or old fans make a huge amount of noise. Keep the fans properly maintained and cleaned to decrease the noise level to a minimum.
Fix the Bottom Properly
Loosen footprints of a Concrete Chiller can make vibrations and noise while operating. Fix the bottom properly with the ground. Keep noise-proof materials between the bottom and ground.
What are the Troubleshooting Guidelines for your Concrete Chiller?
When it is not Resulting in Optimum Curing of Concrete
Proper curing of the concrete depends upon the temperature level. If the temperature of the water is not enough, it will cause faulty curing and concrete won’t be properly manufactured.
Always keep water temperature to accurate for curing time.
Concrete Chiller is Causing Brittleness in the Concrete
When the flow rate of water is not proper and temperature fluctuations are high in number, concrete may become brittle.
It will not have enough strength and is easily broken by small forces. Keep the flow rate and temperature to the optimum to solve this problem.
