North Slope Chillers Freeze NSC0500 — 1/2 Ton Industrial Process Chiller
Contact us to confirm current lead times and real-time availability for this model.
The North Slope Chillers NSC0500 is a 1/2 ton (6,000 BTU/hr) portable industrial process chiller with a fluid temperature range of 15°F to 65°F. A step up from the NSC0330, the NSC0500 features a Copeland hermetically sealed compressor, brazed plate heat exchanger, non-ferrous piping, and a powder-coated steel cabinet. Available in 110V/1-Phase and 208-240V/1-Phase configurations. Built in the USA with the fastest lead times in the process chiller industry.
The NSC0500 is a popular choice as a laboratory recirculating chiller for benchtop reactors, rotary evaporators, and analytical instruments requiring consistent fluid temperature control. It is widely used as a pharmaceutical lab chiller for small-scale synthesis and fermentation cooling, as a brewery chiller for single-vessel fermentation and cold crashing, and as a food processing chiller for small-batch production cooling. Light manufacturers also rely on the NSC0500 as a laser chiller for CO₂ and diode laser systems and as a compact process cooling solution for machinery and tooling in space-constrained environments.
Key Features:
- 15°F to 65°F fluid temperature range
- 6,000 BTU/hr cooling capacity
- Copeland hermetically sealed compressor: Reliable, long-lasting performance
- Brazed plate heat exchanger: Maximizes cooling efficiency
- Continuous duty non-ferrous pump
- Non-ferrous piping system: Corrosion-resistant fluid handling
- 0–100 PSI discharge pressure gauge
- Powder-coated steel cabinet
- R513a refrigerant
- Available in 110V/1-Phase or 208-240V/1-Phase
- Rated for ambient temperatures 40°F – 100°F
- Easily portable — compact footprint for lab and light industrial use
- Made in the USA — fastest lead times in the process chiller industry
- 1-year manufacturer warranty
✓ Ships directly from North Slope Chillers in Utah
✓ Free shipping to the continental US (in-stock items typically ship within 3–5 days)
✓ Includes North Slope Chillers' full 1-year manufacturer warranty
✓ 7-day price match guarantee from date of purchase
✓ Alaska, Hawaii, and international shipping available — contact us for rates
