Features and Advantages:
The Food and Beverage Processing Chiller manufactured by TopChiller is well-known for the following features and benefits:
- It has remote condenser system technology, making it possible to place the compressor and condenser in different areas if required by your food processes. A stainless steel or polyethene tank with 30-30000 gallon capacity provides good storage.
- Using variable frequency drivers and secondary heat exchangers offers precise temperature-controlled chilling for smooth process flow. It does not require repeated ice replenishment, saving you a reasonable cost.
- During peak seasons, it provides additional cooling capacity. This extra capacity is also helpful in managing unplanned or planned shutdowns. It also offers temporary ventilation and cooling of dairy or meat products and cold storage items. This feature also helps improve the working conditions for the staff.
- For drying the food items, it provides industrial dehumidification. This also keeps the work area dry and moisture-free. As a result, the chances of contaminant growth are reduced significantly.
- It may use glycol or water as the refrigerant. Glycol models use nontoxic propylene glycol, which is safe for food. It has antifreeze properties and zero product spoilage. Water Cooled Food and Beverage Processing Chiller are economical and feature anticontamination properties.

Wet cleaning is another proper cleaning method that includes several steps such as pre-rinsing, washing, post-rinsing, and sanitization of surfaces that come in direct contact with food during the processing.
What is the Sizing Calculation for a Food & Beverage Processing Chiller?
Calculate the sizing of a Food & Beverage Processing Chiller by following these steps:
- To calculate the heat load, check for the material-specific heat ΔT and ΔH. Convert it into tons and don’t forget to add a safety factor that is either 10% or 20%.
- In the next step, calculate the simplified heat that is represented as MCΔT. For measuring the exact value, measure the flow rate of coolant and temperature rate of the coolant.
- In the third step, convert your results into tons of chilling capacity of a Food & Beverage Processing Chiller.
What are the Troubleshooting Guidelines for your Food & Beverage Processing Chiller?
Some of the troubleshooting guidelines that can be beneficial in a Food & Beverage Processing Chiller includes:
- If the temperature fluctuates, adjust the thermostat to the set temperature again and relocate or replace the thermostat.
- If your Food & Beverage Processing Chiller does not power up, try to improve the line voltage.
- Switch off the power and restart the refrigeration cycle. Replace the blown fuse or circuit breaker.
- If you observe any difference in the flow rate of coolant, check for any blockage or mold growth. Partially close the process valve and restart it or try to check the filter condition.
- A major problem can be insufficient cooling that occurs because of fluctuation in the line voltage. To troubleshoot this problem in a Food & Beverage Processing Chiller, check for refrigerant leaks or clogged filters.
- Check for the humidity rate. If the humidity drops below the level, clean the evaporator and replace the non-functional fans.
