| Facility integration | Outdoor condenser units | HVAC condenser integration | Three-zone coordinated installation | HVAC condenser integration |
Quick Recommendation
Use the chiller size that matches the bottleneck you are solving.
Choose 60/45 for compact speed
Best when the workflow centers on a 30-gallon centrifuge class and the facility wants a serviceable, lower-temperature cascade design.
Choose 150/45 for the middle lane
Best when production has moved past pilot scale and needs more chilling capacity without stepping into the largest process class.
Choose 150/30 for faster 150-gallon cycles
Best when the operation needs 150-gallon capacity with five-gallon-per-minute chilling, cascade subcooling, and regenerative heat transfer.
Choose 240/45 for volume
Best when the operation needs the largest BLAST ethanol capacity, faster schedule support, and room for higher production volume.
