Industrial Chillers for the Oil and Gas Industry

Oil and gas chillers play a vital role in maintaining optimal temperatures for critical equipment and processes. From gas compressors to turbines, machinery in this sector often operates under high heat and pressure. Without adequate cooling, performance can suffer, safety risks increase, and equipment life is shortened. Filtrine’s industrial chillers are engineered to meet these challenges with reliability, customization, and safety at the forefront.

Why Temperature Control Is Essential in Oil & Gas Facilities

Cooling systems are essential for:

  • Preventing equipment failure caused by overheating.
  • Maintaining safety by minimizing fire and explosion risk in volatile environments.
  • Ensuring regulatory compliance with safety and operational standards.
  • Reducing downtime and extending equipment lifespan.

Temperature-sensitive operations like gas compression, oil refining, and petrochemical processing demand precise, dependable cooling to operate safely and efficiently.

Explosion-Proof Chillers for Hazardous Locations

Filtrine’s explosion-proof chillers are specifically designed for hazardous location classifications, including Class I, Division 1 & 2 environments. These systems are built to eliminate ignition sources in atmospheres where flammable gases or vapors are present.

Key safety features include:

  • Non-sparking components
  • Explosion-proof electrical enclosures
  • Reinforced housing and sealed construction

Each unit is engineered to meet or exceed the strict standards outlined by NEC, ATEX, and other applicable safety codes.

Built for Harsh Environments and Demanding Applications

Filtrine’s chillers are constructed using high-grade stainless steel, corrosion-resistant materials, and robust internal components. Whether installed offshore or at remote desert sites, our systems withstand wide ambient temperature ranges and continuous heavy-duty operation.
