AT THE PROCESS
Lab-side chiller
Delivers setpoint and flow to your loop or equipment. Capacity, pump curve, and fluid (water/glycol) are selected from your heat load and GPM — not a one-size bath cooler.

LAB & PROCESS COOLING · WATER / GLYCOLPERMA Lab Process™
Process cooling in the lab.
Heat rejection outside.
PERMA Lab Process™ is a split-system process chiller for labs and production floors: a lab-side unit on your water or glycol loop, and a remote condenser that rejects heat outdoors. Sized for high-capacity lab and process loads — large closed-loop systems, multi-tool or facility loops, and production-floor cooling — not small bench recirculators.
Temperature capability depends on configuration, process load, and operating conditions.
Final Lab Process equipment and configuration may differ.

01 / THE ARCHITECTURE
Lab-side process unit.
Remote condenser.
Put the evaporator/process side next to the equipment loop. Put the condenser outdoors or in a mechanical space. Line length, elevation, and ambient are part of the design — not afterthoughts.
Refrigeration lines
AT THE REMOTE LOCATION
Remote condenser
Rejects condenser heat away from the lab so you are not dumping kW into room HVAC. Placement depends on ambient, airflow, service access, and line routing.
Planned around your facilityBuilt for
- High-capacity closed-loop process cooling
- Multi-tool and facility-scale lab loops
- Production and pilot-process heat loads
- Sites that need condenser heat and noise out of the lab
Not a small bench recirculator. Not an ethanol BLAST™ skid with a new label.

COOL THE LOOP. DON’T HEAT THE LAB.
Put the heat
somewhere else.
Packaged chillers dump condenser heat into the room you just paid to air-condition. A remote condenser moves that load outside so the lab stays on process cooling, not fighting the HVAC.
Final lab footprint, condenser location, and facility cooling needs depend on the selected configuration and installation.
A FAMILIAR PLATFORM. A NEW LAB FOCUS.
Skid and plate heat-exchanger platforms —
configured for lab/process duty.
Same industrial skid/plate DNA as Perma Cool’s process equipment, re-specified for lab and instrument loops: water/glycol fluids, mid-temp setpoints, and facility condenser placement. Photos of existing skids are design references until Lab Process production units are photographed — final Lab Process hardware and ratings will differ from BLAST™ ethanol skids.
We size the indoor footprint to your aisle and utilities, then place the condenser where ambient and service access allow.
Talk through your layout02 / TEMPERATURE DUTY
Pick the duty from the setpoint —
not the lowest number on the brochure.
Most lab/process loops run mid-temp water or glycol. Low-temp to −40 °C is available when the process actually needs it. We size capacity at your setpoint, not at a vanity cryo number.
Mid-temperature
(typical lab/process)
For loops and equipment that hold roughly room-to-chilled setpoints (often ~5–35 °C depending on fluid and load). Share setpoint + kW/tons + GPM and we configure from there.
Define your temperature rangeDOWN TO−40°C
For processes that must hold low setpoints, including down to −40 °C where the fluid and load allow. Capacity falls as setpoint drops — we confirm kW at the real operating point, not at mid-temp.
Discuss low-temperature dutyFinal temperature range, cooling capacity, fluid compatibility, and installation requirements are configuration-specific.
03 / BUILT AROUND THE APPLICATION
What we need
to size the system.
Four inputs. No RFQ novel required.
Setpoint
Target and start temp (°C).
Load
Heat load (kW or tons) and pull-down or steady-state.
Loop
Fluid (water/glycol %), GPM, and pressure at the equipment.
Site
Power available, condenser location options, max line length/elevation.
THE RIGHT PRODUCT FAMILY
Lab Process
≠ BLAST™.
PERMA Lab Process™ = water/glycol (and compatible process fluids) for instruments and lab/process equipment, split indoor/outdoor.
BLAST™ = ethanol flash-chill for extraction (gallon class, pull-down to −40 °C). Different fluid, different buyers, different rating sheets.
Looking for ethanol extraction chilling?A FEW USEFUL DETAILS
Before we begin.
What does “split-system process” mean?
The process/evaporator side sits in or near the lab on your loop. The condenser sits elsewhere (typically outdoors). They connect with refrigeration lines. You get process cooling without parking the full heat-rejection load in the room.
Where can the remote condenser go?
Condenser placement is established during planning. Available space, ventilation, ambient conditions, service access, and the distance and elevation between units all need to be reviewed.
Does every configuration operate at −40 °C?
No. Mid-temp is the default lab/process duty. −40 °C is a low-temp configuration when the application, fluid, and load require it. Ask for capacity at your setpoint.
