What a 1 HP Water Chiller Removes From a Reservoir
Cooling capacity here is 8,525 BTU per hour against a maximum water volume of 200 gallons. EcoPlus puts the recommended reservoir bracket at 200 to 400 gallons depending on the room. It draws 870 W at 8 A on 120V. Inlet and outlet are 1 in, and two fittings come in the box for rigid PVC or flexible tubing. Recommended circulation pump is 1,056 GPH. The cabinet is heavy duty galvanised steel with a powder coated finish at 34 x 13.75 x 21.5 in and 70 lbs. High ambient air temperature takes cooling capacity away, so a hot equipment room costs you performance.
Living With an EcoPlus Commercial Grade Chiller Day to Day
The ecoplus commercial grade chiller line exists because plastic-cased units stop being sensible once a tank gets past a hundred gallons or so. A remote temperature controller on a thirty foot cord is the detail that earns its keep. The unit ends up in a corridor or plant room, while the person reading the display stands at the reservoir. Auto restart and temperature memory mean a power blip does not leave a tank warming up unattended. R410a is the refrigerant, and the heat exchanger is commercial-grade titanium. Let the unit stand upright for three hours before first start, which lets the oil settle back into the compressor. Skipping that step is the most common way these get damaged on day one.
Key Features
- 8,525 BTU of cooling: A stated hourly figure, which makes reservoir sizing arithmetic rather than guesswork.
- Rated to 200 gallons: Suits the 200 to 400 gallon reservoir bracket depending on room conditions.
- One inch inlet and outlet: Two fittings included for rigid PVC or flexible tubing, so no adapter hunt.
- Remote controller on 30 ft cord: Read and adjust at the reservoir while the unit sits in another room.
- Auto restart with memory: A power interruption does not leave the tank drifting unattended.
- Galvanised steel housing: Powder coated, which survives a wet plant room better than a plastic shell.
- R410a refrigerant: Current refrigerant rather than a legacy blend, running a titanium exchanger.
