What is a Chiller?

A chiller is a crucial component in industrial cooling and HVAC systems, responsible for producing chilled water to maintain temperature control, enhance efficiency, and reduce energy consumption. Chillers are widely used not only in commercial and residential buildings but also in large-scale industries, factories, and production lines.

With Floranco’s professional chillers, you can ensure precise temperature control, optimized energy consumption, and extended equipment lifespan.
