KTI Containerized Ice Water Plant (CIWP)

KTI containerized Ice Water Plant are used in the cooling of concrete to provide addition water at 3 – 5 °C. Likewise, KTI chillers are used in the production of food and beverages – to cool processes. For example, drinking water can be brought to the required temperature before bottling. A third area of application is the supply of cooling water to machines.

Plant information

KTI chillers work equally well due to the use of components proven over many years reliable as well as efficient – even under the most demanding conditions. Water with temperatures between +20 to +45 °C is cooled to 3 – 5 °C. At very high water inlet temperatures, the first stage lowers the water to 35 – 38 °C via the cooling tower. Here, large amounts of energy can already be dissipated merely by using evaporative cooling without expending any significant power.

  • Up to a production of 180 m³ cold water per day, KTI chillers are mounted in a 20-foot ISO container, up to a production of 440 m³ cold water in a 40-foot ISO container.
  • The evaporative condenser can be integrated directly into the container if required. This creates a very compact plug-and-play solution.
  • Of course, the plants can also be built with consistent quality on frames for installation in buildings. This allows us to offer our customers individual solutions.
  • The most common fresh water temperatures are +20°C in temperate climates, +30°C in hot regions and +45°C in tropical areas.

Your advantages of KTI chillers

  • KTI containerized water chiller plants are the most energy-efficient models on the market.
  • KTI containerized water chiller plants produce chilled water with Temperatures from 3 - 5 °C.
  • KTI containerized water chiller plants cool water even with very high inlet temperatures from 45°C .
  • KTI containerized water chiller plants come preinstalled and are taken very quickly in operation .
  • KTI containerized water chiller plants are optimal for Water pre-cooling in ice production.

Water precooling increases efficiency in ice production

KTI chillers are often used to pre-cool water for ice production. This can reduce the Energy efficiency in ice production can be massively increased. KTI cold water plants supply fresh water with a water temperature of approx. +5 °C for the production of ice. Thus, ice production can be optimized to freeze water. In all KTI ice plants can have a Chilled water plant for Energy efficiency enhancement to be integrated.

Expert knowledge

KTI’s chilled water systems are tailored to the needs of our customers. The special feature is that we can cool down from very high water temperatures prevailing at our customers to the low target temperatures without circulation. Because of this flexibility, KTI chillers are requested in a wide range of industries – from construction to food production. This makes us very proud to have such a diverse product with such great potential.
