Low & Extra Low
Temperature Chillers
DH Series Icewagon Chillers
Performance made the DH Series low temperature (LT) and extra low temperature (XLT) portable chillers
the leaders in their class. With more than 40 years experience building quality
process chillers, GCI brings you all the features you want, but without the
gimmicks which push up the price. And, none of the shortcuts that lessen the
quality.
Designed and built by GCI for
applications requiring unusually low temperature cooling, the LT and XLT
icewagon™ chillers perform down to -50°F - well below the operating limits of
standard machines. These chillers are suitable for soap molding, candy molding,
chemical and polymer processing, printing, ceramic manufacturing, vapor
recovery, and special equipment cooling applications in laboratories, medical
and manufacturing facilities.
Available in both air-and
water-condensing designs, LT and XLT chillers are equipped with additional
features to assure reliable operation in critical applications year in and year
out.
- Steel frame and
covers - Structural steel frame helps protect chiller from impact
damage. Removable steel panels allow access for routine inspection and
maintenance. Compact design. Casters standard for easy moves.
- Long-life
semi-hermetic compressor - Accessible semi-hermetic compressors are
designed for heavy-duty refrigeration service. XLT models use a two-stage
compressor for the higher performance requirement. Both are equipped with
crankcase heaters to control refrigerant migration during shutdown periods, and
suction accumulators to help prevent liquid refrigerant from returning to the
compressor.
- Special
refrigeration - LT and XLT chillers are equipped with subcoolers, and
oil separators to assure proper performance at sub-zero temperatures. To
minimize heat gain from the ambient, all LT machines are double insulated and
XLT chillers are triple insulated.<
- Hot gas
bypass - Eliminates the constant on-off compressor short-cycling that
results in excessive component ware and unnecessary electric power usage.
Delivers more precise temperature control.
- Job-specific
evaporators - GCI will fit an evaporator selected specifically for your
application. It may be GCI's own Coilmatic™ high-efficiency evaporator, a
special low-flow evaporator, or a space saving brazed plate
evaporator.
- Stainless steel
pump and tank - Complete corrosion resistance. Centrifugal circulating
pump has high-efficiency impeller, centerline connections, mechanical seal.
Available for a wide range of coolants. Vented tank acts as a thermal "flywheel"
as well as providing a buffer for expansion.
- Brazed copper
piping throughout - Long-lasting. No plastic to get brittle. No ferrous
metals to rust. Bronze valves. Full-insulated.
- Microprocessor
control - Easy-to-use digital thermostat, plus high- and low-pressure
refrigerant gauges, pump pressure gauge, tank sight tube and internal
refrigerant sight glass. Controls in °F or °C.
- Safety
package - Includes high/low refrigerant pressure safety switch,
pressure relief device, motor overload protection, line and control circuit
fuses, pump switch interlock.

minimum. Deal directly with the factory. Talk to experts who can help make sure
you get just the right chiller for your needs. Not too much. Not too
little.
-
Ready-to-install - All machines are fully tested to your operating
conditions before they leave our plant. Icewagon chillers are shipped ready to
hook up and run. Installation is simple, usually involving only electrical and
liquid connections. Free telephone support is there if you need help.
