The Application Engineering Corp (AEC) PKW-5 is a process chiller engineered for industrial cooling applications requiring precise temperature control. Built with a fiberglass-reinforced polyester chassis and PVC fill material, this unit delivers reliable performance across manufacturing and plastics processing environments where corrosion resistance and durability are critical.
## Technical Specifications
• **Fluid Temperature Range:** 30°F to 65°F (-1°C to 18°C) for water/glycol applications; 45°F to 65°F (7°C to 18°C) for water-only applications. Optional crankcase pressure regulating valve enables leaving water temperatures up to 75°F (24°C).
• **Fluid Compatibility:** Water/glycol mixtures
• **Chassis Material:** Polyester-reinforced fiberglass with structural fiberglass mounting base
• **Fill Material:** PVC, rated to 130°F (54°C), resistant to decay, corrosion, and microorganism growth
• **Control System:** Automatic temperature control with precision regulation
• **Environmental Operating Standard:** 59°F (15°C) at 29.92″ Hg (1,014 millibars) sea level, 60 Hz power
## Key Features
• Fiberglass construction ensures long service life in corrosive or humid environments
• PVC fill material eliminates conventional fill degradation issues
• Altitude and atmospheric conditions are factored into system sizing
• Operation within specified design parameters complies with national and local safety codes
## Typical Applications
• Manufacturing process cooling
