Chiller Heat Load Calculator
Estimate the cooling load of a flowing liquid in kW and tons of refrigeration (TR). Add a safety margin and, if available, an equipment capacity correction.

Method: Q = volumetric flow × density × specific heat × temperature difference. This estimates steady liquid cooling without phase change. Final equipment selection depends on the fluid and operating conditions; batch cooldown and additional loads need separate assessment.
