Chiller Solution to Match Medical Equipment Brand
Why Medical Industry Need Chillers
In medical industry, many medical and laboratory equipment such as MRI scanners, linear accelerators and electron microscopes require a reliable cooling system at all times. The reason is that the equipment generates a lot of heat when it is running and it relies on a cooling system to maintain a constant temperature, ensuring imaging quality, treatment accuracy, and equipment stability. The laboratory equipment also needs low temperature to ensure the accuracy of test results. Therefore, a chiller is necessary to maintain the reliable operation of medical devices. ChillerOne’s chillers can efficiently meet this need.

Watch how the medical industry chiller delivers stable temperature control, fast cooling response, and reliable performance in real industrial working conditions.
Medical chiller is a cooling system that provides stable and accurate temperature control for medical industry equipment. Its core function is to circulate low-temperature refrigerant to remove the heat generated during the operation of the medical equipment, keeping the equipment running within its optimal temperature range.
The superconducting coils of an MRI machine need to be maintained at -270°C to ensure proper operation, and they generate a large amount of heat during operation. The cooling water provided by the chiller is typically between +18°C and +22°C.
Every medical institution or laboratory has unique needs, making the selection of a suitable chiller is important. Regardless of your specific requirements, we will offer a chiller solution based on your size, heat load, operating conditions, portability requirements and other needs.
Chillers can be classified from two perspectives. Based on medical equipment, they can be divided into MRI chillers, CT chillers, linear accelerator chillers, medical laser chillers, laboratory chillers, etc. Based on structure, they can be divided into air-cooled medical chillers, water-cooled medical chillers, and low-temperature medical chillers.
When selecting chiller for medical or laboratory equipment, the following factors need to be considered:
- Temperature: Some equipment like MRI machines, requires a constant temperature, while other equipment undergoes heating and cooling cycles. The correct temperature is essential for stable operation. Tell us the temperature you need and the acceptable temperature range, and we will help you choose the most suitable model.
- Heat Load: The total heat generated by the equipment determines the required cooling capacity of the chiller. Provide the equipment’s heat load data (in kW or kcal/h) or rated power, and we will calculate and recommend a model to ensure sufficient and efficient cooling capacity.
- Flow Rate: Sufficient pressure and flow rate are required to ensure that the liquid flows through the system during equipment operation.
- Size: It is necessary to choose a size that is suitable for the equipment’s operating space. The size of chiller also refers to its cooling capacity. The common chiller size used in medical industry is 5 ton to 25 ton.
- Installation Environment: Factors to consider include the ambient environment’s temperature and the acceptable level of noise in decibels.
- Budget: Finally, you need to consider the budget of chiller for medical treatment or laboratory. We will recommend the best and most suitable products for you based on your budget.
Yes, we offer compact chillers. Our standard product line features an efficient and compact design, occupying 15-20% less space on average than comparable products. We provide detailed dimension drawings to help you plan the space in advance.
It is necessary to choose a suitable size of medical chiller. Undersized chillers prevent the system from providing adequate cooling, leading to insufficient airflow and low efficiency. Oversized chillers will limit low load operation, increasing energy consumption and operating costs.
The temperature range of cooling affects the selection of refrigerants. Chillers mainly use HFC、HFO and Natural three refrigerants. In HFC, R-134A and R-410A are most common used in chiller. But because of high GWP, they are not good choice in today. HFOs are new refrigerants with low GWP. And Ammonia, CO₂ and propane are natural refrigerants. They have various potential due to low GWP and high efficient.
Air-cooled chillers relying on air to transfer heat. They are easy to install and maintain, and suitable for small to medium-sized facilities such as small imaging centers.
Water-cooled chiller needs to install an additional cooling tower to bring heat to the outside for heat dissipation through water circulation. They are better suited for large facilities.
In the medical industry, the most common type of chiller is the air-cooled chiller. However, some large pieces of equipment, such as MRI, PET, and CT scanners, require water-cooled chillers to maintain stable low temperatures, ensuring the continuous and stable operation of the equipment.
In terms of temperature control, medical chillers offer more precise temperature control than ordinary chillers, which minimizes compressor cycling and extends the lifespan of components. This is crucial for the proper functioning of the equipment. Secondly, ordinary chillers experience a decrease in performance during cold seasons, affecting the equipment’s normal operating time. However, medical chillers can operate year-round in ambient temperatures ranging from 120˚F to -40˚F, eliminating concerns about chiller downtime due to climate conditions.
The main maintenance involves regularly cleaning the filter and checking water quality and system pressure. We recommend preventative maintenance every 6 months.
We collaborate with several brands. For example, the brands we use for our scroll compressors include Danfoss, Panasonic, and Copeland. For screw compressors, we use brands such as Hanbell, Fusheng, and Bitzer.
