Chillers are used for cooling buildings, production processes, and technical installations. They supply chilled water to air handling units, processes, or other delivery systems, often forming the heart of an HVAC system.
Van Abeelen Klimaattechniek supplies standard water chillers and designs custom machines. We look at the required cooling capacity, the temperature range, the control system, energy consumption, and the integration with the rest of your installation. After all, a water chiller must not only provide sufficient cooling, but above all continue to operate efficiently and reliably.
Chillers for building and process
Chillers are used in various environments, such as offices, sports halls, hospitals, laboratories, cleanrooms, swimming pools, and manufacturing companies. They are also widely used in the food industry for processes that require a stable temperature.
Every water chiller must deliver sufficient capacity, operate energy-efficiently, be precisely controllable, and be reliable. The application determines which design is required and where extra attention should be directed within the design. Examples include the temperature range, noise level, hygiene, available space, fluctuating load, and the connection to other systems. Van Abeelen tailors the complete design to the practical situation.
Energy-efficient cooling with smart control
Chilled water units require energy. Therefore, a good design is important. The efficiency is determined by the machine itself, but also by the control system, the water-side installation, the emission system, and the way the installation responds to varying loads.
During the design phase, Van Abeelen simulates various operating conditions. This prevents a system from being chosen unnecessarily large or running at an unfavorable operating point. PLC control and monitoring can also help limit energy consumption.
Standard or custom
Sometimes a standard water chiller is the best choice. In other situations, custom solutions are required, for example due to a deviating temperature range, limited space, specific process load, or additional requirements regarding noise, controllability, or reliability.
Capacity, energy efficiency, controllability, and operational reliability are the starting points for every application. In addition, there are supplementary points of attention for each environment.

Part of a complete climate control system
A water chiller rarely stands 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 handle the complete process: advice, engineering, delivery, installation, commissioning, maintenance, and service. This keeps responsibility clear and ensures the installation is built as intended.
Maintenance and 24-hour service
A water chiller must remain reliable. Especially when the system is important for production, storage, or comfort in a building. Periodic maintenance helps prevent malfunctions and keeps performance at an optimal level.
Our service department assists with maintenance, inspections, breakdowns, and optimization. You can also count on Van Abeelen's 24-hour service outside of regular working hours.
