Industrial process chillers are not universal. Instead, they are custom-designed engineered solutions tailored to suit your unique application requirements. Skilled engineers review each system to ensure it’s customized to your operational needs, addressing specific factors for your application, such as varying heat loads, narrow temperature requirements, corrosive fluid, near freezing water applications, extreme fluid temperatures, ambient conditions, and corrosive environments. 

This post details the engineering expertise that goes into every process chiller to demonstrate what you can expect when designing your system, including: 

  • System analysis 
  • Layout 
  • Custom controls  
  • Redundancy 
  • Capacity control 
  • Energy efficiency  

Keep reading to learn more about the role of engineering in designing high-performance process chillers to ensure your system meets your unique application requirements.

As cannabis legalization expands, the demand for energy to power lighting, irrigation, and HVAC systems for favorable growing conditions is on the rise – and so are energy costs. According to the Alliance to Save Energy, cannabis cultivation is an energy-intensive industry spending an estimated $6 billion annually on utilities. However, there are significant opportunities to reduce your facility’s energy consumption and protect your bottom line with energy-efficient best practices, such as LED lighting, automation irrigation solutions, and a high-efficiency cannabis chiller design.

In this article, we’ll profile energy- and cost-saving cannabis chiller options to consider when designing the best system for your cannabis extraction or grow room, including:

  • EC condenser fan motors 
  • Floating head pressure 
  • Heat reclaim
  • Pump VFD
  • Electronic expansion valves (EEVs)
  • Redundancy options
  • MCS microcontroller 
  • System alerts

Continue reading to learn how these energy-efficient cannabis chiller options can help reduce operational energy consumption – and your utility bills.
