Reliable Cooling Solutions
for Sub-Zero Industrial Processes

Lohabour Low Temperature Chillers are designed for industrial applications requiring coolant temperatures below the operating range of conventional chillers. Available in air-cooled (KAL) and water-cooled (KWL, KWSL) configurations, they deliver stable cooling performance from +10°C down to -30°C while maintaining high reliability, energy efficiency and precise temperature control.

Designed for Continuous Low Temperature Operation

Standard industrial chillers are typically designed for chilled water temperatures above 5°C. When industrial processes require lower temperatures, a specially engineered refrigeration system becomes essential.

The Lohabour Low Temperature Series incorporates optimized compressors, specially selected refrigerants, intelligent control systems and enhanced safety protection to provide dependable cooling under sub-zero operating conditions — from the compact, air-cooled KAL Series through the coil-in-tank KWL Series to the heavy-duty, single or dual screw KWSL Series for large centralized loads.

Engineered for Stable Low Temperature Performance

🧊

Low Temperature Refrigeration System

Specially designed refrigeration circuits maintain stable cooling performance from +10°C down to -30°C, ensuring precise process temperature control.

💧

High Efficiency Heat Exchange

Optimized evaporators and condensers maximize heat transfer efficiency while minimizing energy consumption, even during continuous low-temperature operation.

🖥

Intelligent Digital Controller

Microprocessor-based control continuously monitors operating conditions and automatically adjusts refrigeration performance for stable outlet temperatures.

Industrial Grade Refrigeration Components

Built using premium compressors, expansion valves, electrical components and refrigeration accessories for reliable 24/7 industrial service.

🧪

Multiple Refrigerant Options

Available with a range of refrigerants to suit different applications and environmental requirements:

  • R22
  • R404A
  • R134a
  • R407C
  • R410A (KAL)
🛡

Comprehensive Protection System

Every unit includes multiple built-in safety functions including:

  • High / Low Pressure Protection
  • Compressor Overload Protection
  • Water Flow Protection
  • Phase Failure / Phase Sequence Protection
  • Anti-Freeze Protection
  • High Temperature Protection
  • Automatic Fault Alarm

How to Select the Right Low Temperature Chiller

Selecting the correct model depends on both the required cooling capacity and the desired outlet temperature. As the chilled water temperature decreases, the available cooling capacity of the refrigeration system also decreases — this is a normal characteristic of vapor compression refrigeration systems.

Temperature Selection Guide

Required Water Temperature Recommended Selection
+10°C to 0°C Standard Low Temperature Configuration
0°C to -10°C Low Temperature Series
-10°C to -20°C Enhanced Low Temperature Configuration
-20°C to -30°C Deep Low Temperature Configuration

Capacity Selection

Always base the required cooling capacity on the actual operating temperature.

Required Temperature Use Capacity Column
-5°C Cooling Capacity (-5°C)
-10°C Cooling Capacity (-10°C)
-15°C Cooling Capacity (-15°C)
-20°C Cooling Capacity (-20°C)
-30°C Cooling Capacity (-30°C)
EXAMPLE

If your process requires a cooling load of 18 kW at an outlet water temperature of -20°C, select the model using the -20°C cooling capacity column, not the -5°C column — for example the KAL-10D/KAL-10 delivers 7.4 kW at -20°C, while the KAL-12D/KAL-12 delivers 9.2 kW at -20°C. This ensures the chiller can deliver sufficient cooling under actual operating conditions.

Common Questions

Why choose a low temperature chiller?

Low temperature chillers are specifically designed to provide reliable cooling below 0°C, where conventional industrial chillers cannot operate efficiently.

What coolant should be used below freezing?

Ethylene glycol or brine solutions are recommended to prevent freezing while maintaining efficient heat transfer.

What is the difference between KAL, KWL and KWSL?

The KAL Series uses ambient air to reject heat, making installation simple without requiring a cooling tower. The KWL Series uses cooling water for compact loads up to around 110 kW, while the single or dual screw KWSL Series scales up to over 1,000 kW for large, continuous industrial applications.

Can operating temperatures be customized?

Yes. Systems can be configured for specific operating temperature ranges, refrigerants, electrical supplies and industrial process requirements.

Which refrigerant should I choose?

The most suitable refrigerant depends on the required operating temperature, environmental regulations and application requirements. Our engineering team can recommend the appropriate option.

Need a Custom Low Temperature
Cooling Solution?

Our engineers can recommend the most suitable KAL, KWL or KWSL model based on your required operating temperature, cooling capacity, process fluid, installation environment and available utilities — whether your application requires -5°C, -20°C, or -30°C.
