Industrial Chiller Installation

Industrial chiller installation in Kenya by Refitec Kenya. Air-cooled and water-cooled process chillers for plastics, food, beverage, printing, and HVAC applications. Call +254 704 843 613.
Process cooling failures cost Kenyan manufacturers production hours, product batches, and machine life. A correctly selected and installed industrial chiller stabilizes mould temperatures in plastics plants, cools fermentation tanks in breweries, and protects pasteurization circuits in dairies, paying for itself through consistent quality and reduced downtime. Refitec Kenya handles industrial chiller projects end to end, from load assessment and equipment selection through pipework, electrical integration, water treatment, and commissioning, with ongoing service support from our own technicians.

Industrial Chiller Installation Services by Refitec Kenya

Industrial chillers provide chilled water or glycol for process cooling in manufacturing plants, food and beverage factories, plastics moulding shops, printing facilities, pharmaceutical production, and large air conditioning systems. A correctly installed chiller protects production equipment, stabilizes product quality, and reduces downtime. Refitec Kenya installs industrial chillers of all capacities, from packaged air-cooled units to water-cooled systems with cooling towers, for industries in Nairobi, Athi River, Thika, Mombasa, Nakuru, Eldoret, and the rest of Kenya.

Air-Cooled and Water-Cooled Chillers

Air-cooled chillers reject heat directly to ambient air through finned condensers and condenser fans. They are the most common choice in Kenya because they require no water circuit for heat rejection, are simpler to install, and suit locations where water is scarce or expensive. Water-cooled chillers reject heat to a condenser water loop, usually served by a cooling tower, and offer higher efficiency and quieter operation where water supply is reliable. Our engineers advise on the correct choice based on site conditions, load profile, water availability, and energy tariffs.

Our Installation Scope

1. Load assessment. We calculate the process cooling load, required chilled water temperature, flow rate, and operating hours.
2. Chiller selection and supply. We select a chiller with adequate capacity at the actual ambient and water temperatures of the site.
3. Mechanical installation. We position the chiller on a level base with anti-vibration mounts, connect chilled water piping, pumps, buffers, and valves, and install the water treatment provisions.
4. Electrical installation. We wire power supplies, starters, and safety controls, and integrate the chiller with the building management system where required.
5. Commissioning. We fill, vent, balance the water circuit, set the controls, and test performance under real load before handover.

Applications Served

Our chiller installations support injection moulding and blow moulding machines in plastics factories, jacketed vessels and pasteurizers in dairies and beverage plants, fermentation and storage tanks in breweries, printing rollers and laser equipment, cold water circuits for data centres, and process cooling for pharmaceutical production.

Maintenance and Repairs

Refitec Kenya maintains installed and third-party chillers, cleaning condensers, checking refrigerant charges, servicing compressors, testing safety controls, and treating water circuits. Preventive maintenance contracts keep capacity stable and prevent production losses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much does industrial chiller installation cost? Cost depends on capacity, chiller type, pipework extent, and electrical works; we provide a transparent, itemized quotation after the site survey and load assessment. How long does installation take? A packaged air-cooled chiller is typically installed within one to two weeks including pipework and commissioning, while water-cooled installations with cooling towers take longer. Do you install chillers for air conditioning? Yes, we install chilled water systems for commercial buildings, data centres, and industrial processes in addition to food and beverage applications.

Refitec Kenya installs and services industrial chillers in Nairobi, Athi River, Thika, Ruiru, Nakuru, Mombasa, and countrywide, with maintenance contracts available for continuous-duty plants.
