All FC90 units for this application were
placed at high level within the storage
area and connected to a bank of
exterior heat exchangers to dissipate
the extracted heat to atmosphere. The
main advantage of Andrews Chiller
Fast Chill 90 units is their portability

energy into the system, this passes
over a cold coil, is converted into water
which is then pumped to a condenser
within the heat exchanger where it
is discharged outside the building.
The Fast Chill 90 has a powerful fan
delivering outstanding performance,
cooled air flow with a
capability down to -10°C and ability to
maintain local environments to within
+/- 0.5°C.
FC90 models, the largest in the
