5.1 Overview of Liquid Chillers
The OPTI TEMP refrigerated heat exchanger (chiller) is a re-circulating system designed
to provide a continuous supply of heat transfer fluid (usually water) at a constant
temperature and flow rate. The system consists of a refrigeration system, fluid pump,
fluid reservoir, and is controlled by a Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller.
The OPTI TEMP OTC Series chillers feature our patented refrigeration circuitry. This
innovative circuitry allows the unit to provide excellent temperature control whether
operating at “Zero load or Full Load”. It also allows the chiller to provide very tight
temperature stability over the industries widest (actively cooled) operating temperature
range. See operating temperature range limits in section “5.2 Specifications” for more
information about available operating ranges of OPTI TEMP systems.
A wide range of pumps, flow controls, monitoring devices, and filtration options are
provided making the OTC Series chillers a flexible solution for a range of applications.
