Atlas Copco Chillers & Coolers for the UK

• Cooling Capacity: 15 – 500 kW
• Key Tech: Integrated pumps, valves and sensors in one unit.
• Installation Time: < 8 hours (vs 3 days for others).
• Best For: Food/beverage, labs, small factories.
• Real Benefit: TCX chillers deliver highly efficient and reliable industrial process cooling. Delivers 35% energy saving + zero contamination risk (critical for ISO 22000 compliance).

• Cooling Capacity: 20 – 700 kW
• Key Tech: Corrosion-proof casing (IP55 rated). Self-cleaning condensers for dusty environments.
• Temp Tolerance: -20°C to 55°C.
• Best For: Metalworking, plastics, chemical plants.
• Real Benefit: Efficient and reliable industrial water cooling systems. Exceptional reliability: 99.9% uptime in Cardiff steel mill (saved £24k/year in downtime).

• Cooling Capacity: 60 – 1,200 kW
• Free-Cooling: Uses ambient air when temps <12°C (zero energy).
• Adiabatic Panels: Water-cooling boost for hot days (30% extra efficiency).
• Best For: Data centres, hospitals, large manufacturing.
• Real Benefit: This innovation in the chiller range delivers air-cooled industrial process water. With energy savings with its free-cooling and adiabatic panels as an option, it delivers a 50% lower carbon footprint (meets UK Net Zero targets).

• Cooling Capacity: 64 – 737 kW
• Key Tech: Closed-loop adiabatic cooling. It functions as a modern, water-saving alternative to traditional open cooling towers, rejecting heat from water-cooled equipment like air compressors.
• Design: Uses ambient air (dry mode) and evaporates water over pads (adiabatic mode) to pre-cool the air temperature, achieving high efficiency with minimal water consumption.
• Best For: Facilities with water-cooled air compressors, replacing cooling towers, mitigating Legionella risk.
• Real Benefit: This advanced process cooler prevents contamination of the process fluid, saves significant volumes of water, and eliminates the health risks associated with cooling towers, all while integrating with your compressor’s Elektronikon® controller.

Atlas Copco chillers are the newest innovation in the industrial water cooling field – engineered systems where efficiency meets sustainability. Unlike traditional solutions, they’re chillers are specially designed for cooling water and process fluids with precision, whether through water-cooled chillers or robust air-cooled chillers.

Beyond a single product, this represents the future of industrial energy efficiency and sustainability: a complete ‘utility room’ solution. As specialists in both compressed air and process cooling, Control Gear integrates your Atlas Copco compressor and chiller systems under a single, unified service plan. This synergy simplifies maintenance and unlocks greater energy savings.

• Energy Revolution Free-cooling technology uses ambient temperatures to cut energy consumption by 50% – so you can hit Net Zero targets.
• Total Process Control From pharmaceutical temperature control to plastics cooling requirements, our range of industrial chillers delivers high-performance cooling to ±0.5°C.
• Future-Proof Engineering State-of-the-art components (Elektronikon® controls, adiabatic panels) make these cooling systems for industry perfect for dusty factories to sterile labs.

We don’t just supply chillers – we provide the complete package

• Manufacturing infrastructure with 15+ year lifespans
• Process cooling that monitors itself via SMARTLINK
• Resource efficiency reducing water and energy consumption

Control Gear’s Proactive Service Plans

Regular maintenance is an essential part of manufacturing procedures for industrial chillers. But traditional “fix-when-broken” approaches cost UK manufacturers an average of £15,000/hour in downtime (Atlas Copco).

Control Gear flips this model with data-driven, proactive care – turning potential disasters into planned, budget-friendly service visits.

We help prevent process chiller failures with:

• Predictive Maintenance: SMARTLINK data triggers service before failures.
• Original Parts: Atlas Copco genuine components (3x longer life).
• Flexible Contracts:
• Essential Care: £149/month (2 annual visits + parts discount).
• Guardian Plan: £299/month (7 year warranty + 24/7 priority support).

Important: Non-Atlas Copco repairs void warranties and risk £10k+ breakdowns.

As an FGAS-certified company, Control Gear ensures your chillers are 100% compliant with UK F-Gas regulations. The law places responsibility on you, the operator, to prevent refrigerant leaks. Our certified engineers manage this for you by:

• Conducting mandatory, documented leak checks based on your system’s CO₂ equivalent (tCO₂e) charge.
• Maintaining detailed service logs for legal audits.
• Using low GWP refrigerants (like R32 and R454B) to future-proof your systems against the ongoing HFC phase-down.

This is not just a service; it’s a critical part of the total package to protect your business from risk.
