The Penguin Chillers Split Commercial Water Chiller is designed for large-scale applications requiring dependable, high-capacity cooling. Built on a durable stainless steel frame with an outdoor-rated condenser, this system separates the condenser and evaporator for flexible installation and reduced indoor heat buildup.

Each unit includes a built-in flow switch for pump failure protection and a copper heat exchanger (titanium upgrade available for reef tanks and copper-sensitive applications). With capacities from 24,000 BTU/hr (2 Ton) to 60,000 BTU/hr (5 Ton), these chillers provide efficient, commercial-grade cooling for aquariums, hydroponics, process cooling, and more. Current lead time: 6–8 weeks.
