</table>The C80-4 model is our most popular model used for thermal control of thermal plates and shrouds within 24” vacuum test and process chambers. This model is capable of pre-cooling 20 gallons of silicone oil to -96C in approximately 4 hours and allows the system to cool a 36-pound (16.3 Kg) aluminum plate from +100C to -90C in about 1 hour. Our larger C80-6 system has been used in the past to cool a copper thermal shroud weighing nearly 1000 Lbs to -80C in just a few hours. By pre-cooling a sealed bath of silicone oil (-96C) and then pumping the cooled fluid through the heat load faster ramp rates are achieved. A pre-cooled fluid also allows for efficient cooling, better gradients across the load, more versatile plumbing configurations and simple system installation.Abbess’s thermal systems are available in a variety of sizes and configurations to fit your application.Thermal and vacuum systems can also be custom configured in sizes ranging from 440W (1500 BTUs/hr) to (13150 Watts) 45000BTUs/hr systems and can be designed to operate at low (-50C) and ultra-low (-96C) temperatures. These systems can be used in conjunction with our vacuum systems to provide space simulation profiles or they can be custom-made to provide cooling for a variety of other applications such as biological/medical storage and freeze drying. These systems are entirely customizable and can be sized to cool your product, environment or working fluid to specific temperatures at various rates. Abbess Snow River™ Thermal systems can be configured with air or fluid heat rejection. Redundant heat rejection options are also available.Our systems have been proven to be reliable and low maintenance in simulation systems produced for NASA and other prominent aerospace industry leaders for years and have earned a reputation for quality, performance and, control that is simply unmatched by any of our competitors.</li>

 Integration of your process or thermal load with Snow River™ is easy!The Abbess Instruments Snow River™ Cascade Thermal System consists of two refrigeration compressor loops working together to cool an evaporator to temperatures as low as -96C. The thermal cascade chiller system that makes up part of the Snow River™ system uses R-404 refrigerant in one of the compressor loops to cool an inter-stage heat exchanger that is used to condense an ultra-low temperature refrigerant (R-508B). The ultra-low temperature refrigerant is circulated by the second low stage compressor and vaporized in an evaporator to cool the given heat load. These evaporators can be customer supplied or custom built by Abbess to meet your specific needs. Abbess’s most common application is using a heat exchanger at the evaporator to cool a sealed bath of heat exchange fluid which can then be easily piped to the application’s heat load such as:<li> Thermal plates</li><li> Thermal shrouds</li><li> Cold fingers</li><li> Cold Traps</li><li> Storage Coolers</li><li> Storage Cabinets</li>
If you require temperatures in the range of -50C to 200C check out our <a href=”http://snowriverchillers.com/snow-river-thermal-system/” data-mce-href=”http://snowriverchillers.com/snow-river-thermal-system/”>Single Stage Snow River™ Thermal System!</a>Flexible Control and Diagnostic CapabilitiesAbbess offers a variety of control diagnostic and test data packages that can fit your specific application and budget. These control systems could be as basic as a simple thermostatic control or as advanced as a data logging touch screen PC interface capable of integrated system diagnostics and test data, and networking of multiple chillers to handle large or variable loads. Stand-alone PID Temperature controllers can also be utilized for simple, precise thermal control and profiling.Touch Screen PC Control OptionTouch screen PC control provides total and complete control and monitoring capabilities of your cascade chiller system. The PC interface allows for data logging of system temperatures and pressures as well as full remote control of PID temperature loops. The interface is capable of providing self-diagnostic information to the user and can be used with a single Snow River™ chiller or multiple chillers piped in series or parallel to manage large or variable loads.
