The Cooling Companion
Temperature management isn’t just an operational factor in steel and power plants. It’s critical for the entire production process and labour safety. Heat buildup from high-frequency induction furnaces to turbine control systems can degrade equipment, disrupt production, and shorten plant life.
Tempcon’s industrial chillers for steel and power industries are engineered specifically for the harsh, high-load environments. Our chillers provide reliable, 24/7 cooling to critical systems that include hydraulic oils, furnaces, generators, electrical panels, and control rooms, far beyond what HVAC systems can handle.
Challenges Steel and Power Plants Face Without Process Cooling
Uncontrolled Heat Buildup in Machinery
High ambient temperatures (often 50–70°C near furnaces or turbines) lead to overheating of motors, drives, and panels.
Hydraulic and Transformer Oil Degradation
Oil viscosity drops with temperature, reducing lubricating ability and causing premature component wear or even system failure.
Electronics and VFD Failures
Power electronics, VFDs, PLCs, and SCADA panels fail or malfunction due to thermal stress in control rooms and crane cabins.
Downtime Due to Cooling Tower Inefficiency
In hot climates or high-dust environments, cooling towers lose efficiency, making chillers a more dependable alternative.
Crane Cabin and Operator Discomfort
In ladle zones or rolling areas, crane cabins become uninhabitable without high-temperature AC systems.
Applications of Tempcon Industrial Chillers in Steel & Power
Tempcon chillers provide targeted cooling across mission-critical operations in steel and power sectors:
Induction Furnace Cooling
Maintains stable operation by removing heat from power packs, coils, and capacitor banks.
Oil Chillers for Hydraulics and Lubrication
Maintains optimal oil temperature in rolling mills, hydraulic presses, and transformers..
Crane Cabin Air Conditioning
Custom-built ACs for overhead cranes withstand extreme ambient temperatures (up to +80°C) and vibrations.
Electrical and Control Panel Cooling
Panel ACs prevent failure of sensitive VFDs, PLCs, and SCADA systems in high-temperature areas.
Generator and Motor Cooling
Process chillers regulate winding and casing temperatures of large motors and diesel generators.
Power Turbine Blade Cooling (in select applications)
Removes waste heat and protects turbine internals from thermal fatigue.
