GENERAL INFORMATION

I

NTRODUCTION

Cornelius CH Series, Refrigerated Recirculating Water Chillers are designed to provide a continuous flow of clean 
cooling water at a constant temperature and to handle a variety of closed loop and tank cooling applications.

The CH Series consists of a refrigeration system with associated operating controls housed in a sturdy sheet metal 
cabinet. A standard pump and reservoir package provides a complete self-contained water cooling and circulating 
system.

CH Series Chillers are designed to operate in a clean laboratory or industrial environment where ambient 
temperatures range from 50

F to 100

F. Once properly installed, CH Series Chillers run virtually maintenance free 

and provide a constant supply of cooling liquid to the application.

Specifications

The CH Series specifications are shown in Table 1.

Specification Notes

1.

The figures for power and cooling capacity are listed for air-cooled units with a circulation temperature of 
68° F and ambient temperature of 80° F and standard pump.

2.

Cooling capacity will be affected as follows: Derate 17% for 50 Hz operation. Derate 1% for each degree 
Fahrenheit drop in recirculating temperature. Derate 0.5% for each degree Far en he it increase in ambient 
temperature.

3.

The operating water temperature range for water is 50°F (10

C) to 100°F (38°F). If uses of other fluids or 

temperatures are required, the Technical Service Department must be contacted so the appropriate 
ranges can be set.

4.

All CH Series Chillers are thoroughly tested before leaving the factory to ensure that each unit meets these 
specifications prior to shipment.
