The Remcor CH550 is a compact industrial water chiller engineered for precise temperature control in laboratory and manufacturing environments requiring consistent cooling performance. The unit delivers 6000 BTU/h cooling capacity through a 0.5 HP compressor operating on single-phase 115 V, 60 Hz power. Temperature stability is maintained within ±1°F across a 40°F to 100°F operating range via a hot gas by-pass system. The air-cooled refrigeration circuit uses R134a refrigerant and is housed in a sheet metal enclosure with perforated panels for efficient air circulation.

– Compatibility & Integration
Electrical installation must conform to the National Electric Code and local codes. Install indoors with minimum 6 inches clearance on all sides. Avoid ambient temperatures exceeding 110°F and locations subject to external heat loads. Flexible hoses and fittings are recommended for inlet/outlet connections.
