Process Cooling in Chicago

If you operate a commercial or industrial building in Chicago, you probably have two types of cooling needs: comfort cooling and process cooling. The purpose of comfort cooling is to make the environment a pleasant temperature for employees and other occupants.

Process cooling, on the other hand, is designed to remove large amounts of heat from a production or operating process to make it more efficient. As with comfort cooling, process cooling uses refrigerant to absorb heat from the space and expel it to the exterior, leaving the process area cooler than the ambient temperature. Process cooling equipment is made to operate at different temperatures with varying fluids and flow rates as required for the application, while comfort cooling only runs at one temperature with one fluid type and flow rate.

To learn whether process cooling is right for your commercial building, please contact Murphy & Miller at 1-312-427-8900.

Applications for Process Cooling

Process cooling is used in many industries to remove heat from the space. Here are some examples:

  • Plastic mold injection manufacturing – In the production of plastic bottles, hot liquid plastic is injected into a mold. The plastic must cool and harden before being ejected from the mold. Process cooling chills the water that the plastic molds flow through, shortening the solidification time and increasing productivity as a result.
  • Textiles production – Producing wool, cotton, silk, and other textiles requires a consistent temperature and humidity to ensure the finished product has proper elasticity and tensile strength. Process cooling prevents a temperature rise from manufacturing activities, keeping the factory running smoothly and continuously if needed.
  • Food processing – Chillers are used to freeze meat, bread, and other products for storage, transportation, and resale to consumers hundreds or even thousands of miles away without degrading the quality of the food.
  • Medical imaging – MRI scanners use a strong magnetic field to “see” inside the human body. The heat generated by superconducting magnets must be cooled to ensure optimum performance. Removing heat with process cooling is critical for the ongoing reliability of this expensive equipment.

Choosing a Process Cooling System

The most common refrigeration compressor is a reciprocating piston. This works well with variable speed drives and is compatible with electric motors and natural gas-driven engines, making it a versatile option for many applications. The ideal size for your process cooling system depends on the operating temperature, pressure range, and total refrigeration load required.
