Penguin Water Chiller 2.5 HP with titanium heat exchanger and 25,000 BTU/hr cooling capacity for aquariums and hydroponics

Key Features

The 2 1/2 HP Water Chiller with Titanium Heat Exchanger is a high-capacity, professional-grade cooling system designed for applications that require stable temperatures, continuous operation, and dependable performance.

With approximately 25,000 BTU/hour of cooling capacity, this unit is built to manage larger water volumes and higher thermal loads without temperature swings. At the core of the system is a titanium heat exchanger, which prevents copper contact with water and supports long-term durability in closed-loop systems.

The chiller operates on 208–240V power and features an integrated digital temperature controller that automatically regulates cooling cycles based on your selected set point. Standard 1″ threaded inlet and outlet ports allow for straightforward integration with common plumbing setups.

Engineered and manufactured in the USA, the unit is housed in a rugged enclosure designed for longevity, serviceability, and reliable day-to-day operation. This is not an entry-level solution, it’s built for users who need consistent cooling without compromise.

Designed for High-Demand Cooling Applications

This 2 1/2 HP water chiller is built for systems where temperature stability and uptime are critical.

It is well-suited for large cold water systems, where higher cooling output is required to maintain consistent temperatures under sustained use. In environments with significant ambient heat or continuous operation, the chiller provides reliable thermal control with minimal manual oversight.

The titanium heat exchanger supports long-term water integrity by eliminating copper exposure, making the system appropriate for sensitive closed-loop applications. The integrated digital controller continuously monitors water temperature and automatically adjusts operation to maintain your desired range.

With its combination of high output, durable construction, and automated control, this chiller serves as a strong foundation for custom installations, process cooling, and other demanding cooling environments where performance consistency matters.
