Need help choosing the right system?
Ready to Rent
Chiller rental can be a difficult area to navigate if you don’t know what you need. From the large industrial chillers that can cool a building, to the smaller, portable chiller rentals for process cooling , understanding your exact needs is crucial.
Get the Details
So you want to rent a chiller! In order to know exactly what type of chiller will meet your cooling needs, you have to know the following:
Let’s break that down into detail.
-
Determine chiller type: What is your process cooling application? Are you keeping the temperature of your product stable? Or are you trying to cool something down? Or are you trying to keep a space cool? This will help determine what type of chiller rental you need.
-
Determine chiller size: What is your heat load that needs to be removed? How much heat needs to be taken out of your system? What are the ambient conditions? This is critical, since not all chillers are capable of removing the required heat. Understanding your heat load will help you know what size of chiller.
-
Determine power needs: How much power do you have available? Are you going to need to rent a generator as well? Chillers use a lot of power, so planning ahead based on your electricity resources is important.

Frequently Asked Questions
When does renting a chiller make more sense than buying?+
Renting makes sense for seasonal needs (summer peak loads), temporary projects (construction, events), emergency backup when a primary chiller fails, process trials before committing to a purchase, and short-term contracts where the cooling need may not be permanent.
What should I look for in a chiller rental agreement?+
Key items to review include rental duration and minimum term, delivery and installation costs, maintenance responsibility, insurance requirements, power and water hookup specifications, and what happens if the rented unit fails. Ensure the rental company provides 24/7 emergency support.
What information does a rental company need to quote a chiller?+
Provide the cooling capacity needed (tons or BTU/hr), required fluid temperature and flow rate, indoor or outdoor installation, available electrical power (voltage, phase, amps), water source for condenser cooling, and the rental duration. The more detail you provide, the more accurate the quote.
