Process Controls Corporation - Omega Thermo Products

Falling Film Water Chillers from OMEGA Thermo Products are custom-fabricated water-cooling systems based on Laser Plate technology.

In this configuration, process water is distributed across double-embossed Laser Plates, forming a thin falling film that is cooled before the water is collected and directed to the next process step. The chilled water may be pumped to another heat exchanger, process tank, or product cooling point, and used water may be recirculated back through the chiller when continuous chilled-water operation is required.

Process Controls Corporation - OMEGA Thermo Products Falling Film Water Chiller

OMEGA identifies 33°F as an available chilled-water temperature for this product family and states that each Falling Film Chiller is configured around the required capacity and design conditions.

For industrial and production environments, Falling Film Water Chillers provide a defined approach to cooling water before it is used in process cooling, product cooling, or recirculated water-cooling applications.

OMEGA describes these chillers as stainless-steel systems available in 304 and 316 materials, with cooling media options including ammonia, freon, and glycol. The product family is also identified for use with slightly polluted water containing particles smaller than 5/16″, where appropriate for the process conditions.

Because the systems are custom-made, final configuration, capacity, media selection, and integration details should be evaluated against the application requirements before specification.
