Boreas designs, installs, and maintains process cooling, chillers, and cooling towers for manufacturing plants. Reliable, energy-efficient systems sized to your actual heat load, backed by 24/7 service.
Cooling for the industries that cannot stop
Our systems
We engineer, install, and service the full range of industrial cooling. The right choice depends on your heat load, site, and process, which is what our assessment determines.
Packaged units that chill your process fluid and reject heat directly to ambient air, with no external water loop required. Lower install and maintenance cost in a self-contained package.
Ideal for: Water-scarce sites and smaller or seasonal loads (most economical under ~50 tons)
Chillers that reject heat into a condenser water loop paired with a cooling tower, leveraging cooler water temperatures. Often roughly 30 to 40 percent more efficient than comparable air-cooled units at scale.
Ideal for: Large, continuous, year-round loads above ~50 to 100 tons
Heat-rejection towers that remove waste heat from a condenser or process water loop by evaporating a small portion of water, returning cooled water to the chiller or process.
Ideal for: Any plant running water-cooled chillers or large process water loops
Sealed, recirculating loops that deliver temperature-controlled coolant directly to specific machines (molds, lasers, welders, reactors) and hold a tight, stable process temperature while keeping the fluid clean.
Ideal for: Quality and cycle-time critical lines: molding, machining, plating, chemical processing
Air-side and water-side economizers that use cold outdoor conditions to cool the loop with little or no compressor operation, cutting energy in winter and shoulder seasons.
Ideal for: Cool or seasonal climates running year-round cooling loads
Closed loops circulating a water and glycol mix to run at or below freezing, resist freezing in outdoor runs, and add corrosion and scale protection. Food-grade propylene glycol where product contact matters.
Ideal for: Sub-freezing process needs, breweries, cold-chain, freeze protection
Why it matters
Plant managers buy on two things: keeping the line running and lowering operating cost. We engineer for both.
A stopped line burns money by the hour. Industry analysts estimate unplanned downtime can cost manufacturers anywhere from tens of thousands to over a million dollars per hour, depending on the plant. We engineer reliable, redundant cooling so a single failure does not stop production.
Cooling and HVAC can account for a large share of a plant's energy use. Right-sized systems with free cooling and variable-speed drives can cut cooling energy substantially, often by double-digit percentages. The actual figure depends on a site survey, which is where we start.
In temperature-sensitive processes like plastics, food, pharma, and electronics, even small temperature swings can increase defects and reduce yield. Stable, controlled process temperature is the real product we deliver.
Excess heat is one of the leading causes of motor, drive, and electronics failure. Stable cooling helps extend equipment life and reduce the unplanned breakdowns that turn into hours or days of lost output.
How we work
Every engagement starts on your plant floor and ends with a system you can rely on for years.
We start on your plant floor, not in a catalog. Our engineers survey every heat source on the line, determine peak load, and capture your supply-temperature, flow, fluid, water-quality, and uptime requirements. The peak dictates the minimum tonnage, so we size to your worst realistic conditions.
We translate the load profile into an engineered system: chiller type, towers, free cooling, glycol loops, and pumping and piping. We size with sensible margin for ambient gain and future expansion, design in redundancy (such as N+1) where downtime is unacceptable, and build in serviceability.
Equipment is installed to design spec with inspection at key stages. We then commission the system: start-up, controls verification, and performance testing against your project requirements, with a documented baseline that future service measures against.
Systems drift as equipment degrades and sensors lose calibration. Scheduled preventive maintenance, performance monitoring, and periodic re-commissioning restore original performance and protect efficiency over the life of the system.
Industries we serve
Different processes, the same requirement: stable, reliable, efficient cooling. Here is what each one needs.
Stable mold-water temperature drives cycle time and part quality (warping, dimensional accuracy).
Sanitary, food-grade propylene glycol cooling for fermentation, crash cooling, and cold storage.
GMP-compliant precision cooling for cleanrooms, reactor jackets, and lyophilization.
Heat removal from CNC machining, welding, induction coils, and die-casting tooling.
Tight reactor temperature control to prevent thermal runaway and hold reaction tolerances.
Ultra-precise, contamination-free cooling with ultrapure water for lithography and etch.
We use industry figures as ranges and confirm your real numbers with a site survey. We do not invent precise savings we have not measured.
Sources commonly cite emergency repairs at roughly 3 to 5 times the cost of planned maintenance.
Varies widely by facility, industry, and climate. We confirm your actual figure with a site survey.
We size to your summed heat load with engineering margin, not a one-size-fits-all unit.
New industrial process cooling equipment from Jan 1, 2026 transitions to lower-GWP refrigerants under the EPA AIM Act.
