    ESE Series chillers These new modular EarthSmart chillers from Conair come with integrated pumps and fluid reservoir or as stand-alone units, in 12 sizes from 10 to 160 tons, with installation options for water or remote-air cooling.

    What's new? Each ESE chiller has its own PLC control — with LCD touch screen and display — that can be connected to a single centralized control interface, using twisted-pair wiring. This allows centralized control of as many as six modules of varying sizes plantwide for total process cooling

    capacity of up to 960 tons.

    Benefits The expansion flexibility of a modular chilling system combines with quick, centralized monitoring and control. Also, Conair's EarthSmart product lines use non-ozone depleting refrigerants.
