no, the cement won't get in the chiller evaporator, but the chilled water into the mixture..., my concern is about dust in the outside of the condenser (which is air cooled) and the loss of eficiency.
By open system I mean one time cooling.
Hi there,
Have you heard of the Trane S-Series Earthwise Centravac chillers?, they are oil free and will be available in 2004

Thank you all for your responses, they have been very useful.
I have another issue with this application. the chiller is going to be in a very dusty place, actually the chilled water is for a concrete mixer and there's cement everywhere. Any comments?
What is the recommended maximum water hardness for an open chilled water system.
The system is for an industrial process and it uses well´s water and in this region its very hard (about 400ppm)so I have to know how low do I need to get the water hardness to select the proper water softener.
Thanks
