[labnetwork] Favorite recirculating chiller?

[Paolini, Steven]

Kevin,
  If you are not looking for precise temperature control or communication with your system, I find that Haskris chillers are very robust. The main thing I like about them is that the components are off the shelf from most major industrial suppliers. The compressors are Copeland which are extremely popular here on the East coast. The pumps vary in manufacturer but Procon is common. The layout is not as compact as some others but they are easy to work on.
Hope this helps.

Hey everyone,

What's your favorite brand of recirculating chiller? Looking for a "general use" chiller - DI or glycol, maybe ~1kW cooling capacity (that's pretty standard), preferably water cooled, not crazy expensive; for a drop-in spare, and possibly to standardize to long term. Primarily looking for feedback on reliability, quality of repair service, etc. (I suppose along with that, who's your favorite repair vendor?)

Cheers,
Kevin
