Sizing & Calculations
Choosing the right chiller size is critical — an undersized unit can't keep up with your heat load, while an oversized one wastes energy and capital. These guides walk you through the fundamentals of cooling load calculations, BTU measurements, and the practical methods our engineers use to match chiller capacity to real-world process requirements. Use these resources to confidently spec a chiller for any application.
