HVAC & Mechanical Cooling
Building HVAC systems are designed for comfort cooling — not for the concentrated heat loads generated by process equipment, server rooms, or industrial machinery. When your building's mechanical systems can't keep up, North Slope Chillers provides supplemental process cooling that targets the heat source directly.
Why North Slope Chillers for HVAC / Mechanical
Targeted cooling for high-heat areas
Supplements existing building HVAC systems
Portable units deploy where needed, when needed
No building modification required
Reduces load on central HVAC systems
WHEN HVAC ISN'T ENOUGH
Building HVAC systems are designed to maintain comfortable temperatures for people — typically 68°F to 76°F — distributed across large open spaces. But many industrial and commercial facilities have localized heat sources that overwhelm the building's cooling capacity: server rooms and data closets, electrical rooms with transformers and switchgear, equipment rooms with compressors or hydraulic units, manufacturing cells with heat-generating machinery, and labs with ovens, furnaces, or testing equipment.
These hot spots create uncomfortable working conditions, accelerate equipment degradation, and can trigger thermal shutdowns that halt production. Adding capacity to the building's central HVAC system is expensive and often impractical — it may require new ductwork, larger air handlers, or even a new rooftop unit. A supplemental process chiller from North Slope Chillers provides a faster, more cost-effective solution.
Our portable chillers deliver targeted cooling exactly where you need it. They can be deployed in hours, require only a standard electrical connection, and provide precise temperature control independent of the building system. When the heat source is eliminated or moves, the chiller moves with it.
SUPPLEMENTAL COOLING APPLICATIONS
North Slope Chillers are used as supplemental HVAC cooling in a wide range of facilities. In server rooms and IT closets, our chillers provide dedicated cooling that keeps equipment within operating temperature specifications even when the building HVAC fails or can't keep up during summer peak loads. In manufacturing facilities, portable chillers cool process equipment directly, reducing the ambient heat load on the building system.
Construction and renovation projects often need temporary cooling while building systems are offline. Our portable units provide interim cooling to keep operations running during HVAC upgrades or building expansion. For commercial spaces like restaurants, data centers, and retail operations that exceed their HVAC design capacity during peak periods, a North Slope Chiller provides the extra cooling margin needed to maintain comfortable, productive environments.
CHOOSING THE RIGHT SUPPLEMENTAL CHILLER
Selecting a supplemental chiller starts with understanding the heat load you need to address. For a single server rack, a 1/3 to 1 ton chiller is often sufficient. For an equipment room with multiple heat sources, a 2 to 5 ton system provides the capacity needed. For larger mechanical cooling applications, our 10-ton units deliver the performance of a small rooftop system in a portable, self-contained package.
Our engineering team can help you calculate the supplemental cooling load for your specific situation. We'll assess the existing HVAC capacity, identify the heat sources creating the problem, and recommend a solution that addresses the gap efficiently. Whether you need a permanent supplemental system or temporary cooling for a project, North Slope Chillers has the right equipment.
