Reliable Cooling For Sub-Zero Applications

Designed and built by GCI for applications requiring unusually low temperature cooling, the LT and XLT Series Icewagon Chillers perform down to -130°F, well below the operating limits of standard machines. Suitable for soap molding, chemical and polymer processing, printing, ceramic manufacturing, vapor recovery, laboratory apparatus, cryogenics and other specialized applications, these subzero chillers are available in both water and air condensing models in a wide range of capacities.

GCI low-temperature process chillers are constructed to be tough, compact in overall size and floor footprint, easy to maintain, and accessible for servicing. The standard LT and XLT models incorporate the same premium features of our heavy-duty portable chillers and have a proven reputation for workhorse performance. Custom low temperature process chillers can be built to customer specification with additional capabilities for specialized low-temperature applications.

GCI is continually upgrading its products. As such, oil specifications are subject to change without notice. Call us at 225-926-6950 for more information on low temperature process chillers and to get help determining your chiller requirements.

How To Order

How to Order Icewagon Chillers

  1. Determine the preferred medium of cooling, Air or Water.
  2. Determine required cooling capacity in nominal tons (12,000 BTUH per ton).For computer assisted load calculation contact factory and request Technical Support Bulletin REHV1FRM.
  3. Determine required voltage configuration. For 50 Hertz models contact factory.
  4. Determine hazard classification per National Electric Code (NEC). For example Class I, Group D, Division 2.
  5. Select the model number following the order code.
  6. Scan the “Options and Accessories” listing below and select the desired items. Order by adding and dash and the Compressor Configuration
  7. For technical or pricing information contact your representative or Sales Engineering at (225)-926-6950.
