Case Study
Case Study Overview
A solar panel manufacturing facility required a reliable cooling solution for its solar panel lamination machine. The machine needed a total capacity of 20 TR to support the operations. The client needed a stable cooling system built across the lamination unit.
Tempcon understood the client’s industrial cooling requirement by doing a quick survey of the site. The engineers explained the cooling process to help the client make a better decision. They decided to go with four 5 TR industrial chillers instead of one 20 TR unit.
Our team provided the required total cooling capacity of 20 TR (70.34 kW). The installation was successful, following the requirements. The client reported unhindered cooling operations for more than a year.
This project demonstrates Tempcon’s capability of delivering application-specific cooling solutions for solar panel manufacturing. Our prime focus is to meet process-specific cooling needs for better outcomes.
Case Study
About the Client
The company operates in the solar panel manufacturing industry. Its production facility uses a solar panel lamination machine.
Lamination is a key stage in solar panel production. It bonds different layers of a solar module under controlled conditions. The process needs a suitable operating temperature range for reliable equipment performance.
The entire solar panel lamination process needs a suitable cooling system for consistent operations. The company needed 20 TR of cooling capacity for its solar panel lamination unit. The chiller system should also match the machine requirements for better outcomes.
Case Study
Existing Cooling Requirements and Challenges
The solar panel manufacturing company needed 20 TR of cooling capacity. This is equivalent to approximately 70.34 kW output. The main challenge was the even distribution of the cooling effect throughout the lamination unit.
01
20 TR Cooling Capacity Requirement
The total cooling capacity, as mentioned, was 20 TR. The solar panel manufacturing company needed proper guidance to select an industrial chiller model. An unsuitable choice may affect the deliverability across the unit space. It may not meet the specific solar panel lamination machine requirements.
02
Need for Multiple Independent Chillers
The company chose four 5 TR industrial chillers after proper judgement. This step met the cooling challenges exceptionally. Positioning the chillers in the solar panel lamination unit was a bit difficult.
This configuration was chosen to use separate units of 5 chillers to be installed in specific locations. Also, the continuous manufacturing operations needed this configuration. All it needed was proper expertise to inspect the site and install the machines.
Case Study
Tempcon Supplied Four 5 TR Industrial Chillers
Our engineering team evaluated the specific cooling requirements. We selected four industrial chillers of 5 TR capacity to meet solar panel lamination requirements. The proposed configuration delivered 70.34 kW of cooling capacity in the panel fabrication unit. The industrial chiller unit was chosen focusing on the industrial operations. Solar panel manufacturing needs industrial chillers that can handle:
1
Thermal load generated by lamination units
2
Maintaining a stable operational temperature
3
Handling variable heat loads
4
Machine-relevant water flow capacity
We supplied four 5 TR industrial chillers with these factors in mind.

Application-Specific Cooling Solution
Solar panel manufacturing varies remarkably from other processing industries. The sensitive panels need a contamination-free neutral environment. The lamination machines need constant heat removal.
Only specific industrial chillers can deliver a reliable cooling solution. Our four industrial chiller units were designed exactly to meet such requirements. We met the equipment preferences and cooling load.
Successful Implementation and Operational Performance
Our team successfully supplied the four 5 TR industrial chillers by coordinating with the company’s team.
The company has used our chillers for over a year with no complaints. There has been no downtime. This success demonstrates the suitability of Tempcon chillers for solar panel lamination processes.
Case Study
Operational Reliability with Long-Term Benefits
The successful implementation delivered the following outcomes:
1
Required Cooling Capacity
Four 5 TR chillers provided a combined capacity of 20 TR (70.34 kW).
2
Independent Chiller Configuration
The customer received four separate units instead of one large 20 TR chiller.
3
Successful Supply
Tempcon supplied all four chillers according to the specified requirements.
4
Continued Operation
The customer reported more than one year of successful operation.
5
Industry Application
The project demonstrated the use of Tempcon industrial chillers in solar panel manufacturing.
6
Reference Project
The successful application established a reference for similar cooling requirements in the solar industry.
The successful implementation of the Tempcon industrial chillers explains the importance of application-specific industrial cooling. Choosing the right chiller manufacturer also determines the quality and reliability of industrial cooling solutions. More than a year of successful solar panel lamination cooling projects shows how reliable Tempcon’s industrial chillers are. No chiller downtime reduces operational costs significantly.
