COMFORT COOLING CHILLERS
Comfort cooling chillers eliminate the need for difficult refrigerant plumbing – all the refrigerant is contained entirely inside the chiller housing. Inexpensive, easy to use, and environmentally safe fluids plumb over long distances and multiple air handlers. Both standard air- and water-cooled chillers deliver the comfort cooling capabilities of air handlers, fan coils, and more. We focus on making chillers with single-phase power, capable of handling over 10 tons of cooling.
These comfort cooling chillers are designed especially for large residences, such as apartment complexes, condominium communities, and mansions. Commercial applications include casinos and even marine applications. We offer options that are not available in other comfort cooling chillers such as custom sizes, custom dimensions, low ambient protection, and redundancy options. Here, we’re keeping you comfortable and cool without all that refrigerant!

Types of comfort cooling chillers
Choose from air-cooled and water-cooled comfort cooling chillers, each offering a unique set of advantages to consider for your application and budget.
Air-cooled
Our air-cooled comfort cooling chillers use ambient air to cool your environment. These cost-effective systems are energy-efficient, take up minimal space, and are relatively quick and easy to install.
Water-cooled
Our water-cooled comfort cooling chillers utilize water from an external cooling tower to keep your environment cool. The benefits of these cooling systems include a long life span, quiet operation, and energy-efficiency.

Benefits of Drake comfort cooling chillers
Year-round cooling
With low ambient protection, our comfort cooling chillers will perform optimally all year round. Options such as flooded condensers with head pressure control, heated flooded condensers with head pressure control, and evaporator heat tape keep your chiller going strong, even in areas that generate heat in the winter.
Excellent performance in coastal or harsh environments
If your residential or commercial property is in a coastal or harsh environment, our comfort cooling chillers stand out from others on the market. Custom condensers protect against the harsh salt air, and stainless-steel cabinets are available for extreme conditions. Condenser options in these environments include Heresite coating, gold fins, and copper fins.
High ambient temperature- and high altitude-friendly
Properties located in areas with high ambient temperatures or high altitudes can benefit from our comfort cooling chillers. We offer over-sized condensers designed for lower air density and higher ambient temperatures designed for maximum chiller performance.
More options than other comfort cooling chillers
We are proud to offer specialized options that you cannot find in other comfort cooling chillers. From custom sizes and custom dimensions to low ambient protection and redundancy options, we are your source for comfort cooling chillers that are engineered just for you.
