Cold water machines are used to cool buildings, production processes and technical installations. They supply cooled water to air handling units, processes or other discharge systems. In doing so, they often form the heart of a climate control system.
Van Abeelen Klimaattechniek supplies standard cold water machines and designs custom-made machines. We consider the required cooling capacity, the temperature range, the control system, the energy consumption and the connection to the rest of your installation. After all, a cold water machine must not only cool sufficiently, but above all remain efficient and reliable to operate.
Cold water machines for buildings and processes
Cold water machines are used in a wide range of environments, such as offices, sports halls, hospitals, laboratories, cleanrooms, swimming pools and manufacturing plants. They are also widely used in the food industry for processes that require a stable temperature.
Every cold water machine must provide sufficient capacity, operate energy-efficiently, be precisely controllable and reliable in operation. The application determines which configuration is required and where extra attention is paid within the design. This includes temperature control, noise level, hygiene, available space, varying load, and connection to other installations. At Abeelen, we tailor the complete design to the practical situation.
Energy-efficient cooling with smart control
Cold water machines require energy. Therefore, good design is important. Efficiency is determined by the machine itself, but also by the control system, the water side installation, the discharge system, and the way the installation responds to varying loads.
Van Abeelen takes various circumstances into account during the design phase. This prevents an installation from being chosen unnecessarily large or running at an unfavorable operating point. PLC control and monitoring can also help to reduce energy consumption.
Standard or customized
Sometimes a standard cold water machine is the best choice. In other situations, customization is required, for example due to a different temperature profile, limited space, specific process requirements, or additional requirements regarding noise, controllability, or operational reliability.
Capacity, energy efficiency, controllability and operational reliability are the starting points for every application. Additionally, additional considerations apply per environment.

Part of a complete climate control system
A cold water machine is rarely used alone. Often, the machine works together with air handling units, pumps, buffer tanks, control valves and building management systems. The coordination between these components determines how well the installation functions.
Van Abeelen can take care of the entire process: advice, engineering, delivery, assembly, commissioning, maintenance and service. This keeps responsibility clear and ensures that the installation is built as intended.
Maintenance and 24-hour service
A cold water machine must remain reliable. Especially when the installation is important for production, storage, or comfort in a building. Periodic maintenance helps prevent malfunctions and maintain performance at the desired level.
Our service department supports maintenance, inspection, troubleshooting and optimization. You can also count on Van Abeelen’s 24-hour service outside of regular working hours.
