Industrial process coolers are designed to remove heat directly from machinery, chemical reactions, food production lines, and heavy industrial equipment. Unlike standard HVAC systems meant solely for building comfort, process coolers must deliver continuous, precise fluid temperatures year-round to protect critical equipment and maintain manufacturing tolerances.
Blizzard Mechanical delivers complete maintenance, rapid troubleshooting, component repair, and replacement services for air-cooled and water-cooled process cooling systems across Connecticut.
Because process cooling equipment often runs continuously under heavy industrial loads, routine maintenance is essential to avoid thermal trips, equipment overheating, and costly assembly line shutdowns.
To maintain operating safety, fluid performance, and tight temperature tolerances, we follow a strict preventative regimen:
When system components wear out, our technicians diagnose and resolve issues fast to minimize plant downtime:
We service and maintain leading industrial process cooler and chiller manufacturers, including Thermal Care, Advantage Engineering, Berg, Sterlco, AEC, Carrier, and Trane.

Following severe weather conditions in Shelton, CT, high winds caused significant damage to the exterior heating system at the local Chick-Fil-A. Our team stepped in to perform a swift equipment replacement, safely removing the compromised units and installing brand-new, high-efficiency Space-Ray radiant heaters.
This project at the Watrous Aeration Building was completed in partnership with Trademark Construction for the Regional Water Authority. The scope of work involved furnishing and installing essential climate control and ventilation equipment to ensure the facility operates efficiently.
This Plan and Spec project was awarded to us by the Town of Waterford. The scope included removal of a decommissioned unit and replacement of this 12.5-ton York RTU.
Design Build project for the University of Bridgeport. The school converted 4 racquetball courts into an exercise gym and spin room. We installed a 14-ton Mitsubishi City Multi Heat pump system with cassette indoor units serving the exercise rooms, hallway, and offices. This project qualified for a $39,990 rebate through EnergizeCT.
Design Build project for the University of Bridgeport. The school converted old dormitories into offices for the School of Nursing. We removed existing radiant convectors and tied into the hot and chilled water systems to install 5 new MagicAire units and a Fantech ERV system for fresh air. This project also involved running new 2” chilled water mains to service the new units.
Design Build project for the University of Bridgeport. The school converted the former print shop into a welding school. We installed 3) Trane RTU’s, ductwork, provided the steel and roofing contractors, and also installed a RoboVent particulate filter system with 16 stations and a hood for the plasma table. In addition to this we installed all of the compressed air and welding gas piping.
Design Build project – we installed a Mitsubishi computer room a/c unit to cool UB’s new AI supercomputer. These units have built in humidifiers and electric heat for precise temperature and humidity control in highly sensitive environments.
Design Build project we were awarded by the Town of Seymour. We installed a 14-Ton Mitsubishi City Multi system with a cassette indoor for the hallway and 4) concealed ducted air handlers serving various town offices.
Plan and Spec project we were awarded by the Milford BOE. This project involved the replacement of 4 RTU’s. We submitted a design change to relocate and install the proper curb for the 15-ton unit in lieu of a curb adapter, which was accepted.
Plan and Spec replacement of a cooling tower and 3 water source heat pumps awarded to us by the Town of Groton. Blizzard mechanical was Prime Contractor on this project and facilitated all of the electrical, welding, rigging, and insulating.
Design Build project – we installed a Trane dual fuel heat pump RTU for Elm City Trailer’s new showroom. This project included ductwork, gas piping, roofing, and steel work.
New construction 92-unit apartment building. We installed Mitsubishi high efficiency ducted heat pumps in all of the apartments, and ductless units in the common areas. We also installed the dryer vents and bath fan piping.
We removed a 50+ year old water cooled air conditioner and installed a high efficiency Mitsubishi Heat Pump system for heating and cooling.
Our mission is simple: keep your facility running smoothly so you can stay focused on your business. We know HVAC and plumbing issues don’t just cause inconvenience — they impact productivity, budgets, and safety. That’s why we take a proactive approach, focusing on prevention, efficiency, and fast resolutions when issues do arise.
We aim to be a true partner for facility managers, property owners, and business operators by delivering practical solutions that lower operating costs and reduce unexpected downtime. From preventative maintenance to emergency repairs and full system replacements, our team prioritizes clarity, reliability, and long-term performance. When we’re doing our job right, your building works exactly as it should — quietly and efficiently in the background.
Process coolers running continuously or under heavy production loads should be serviced quarterly at a minimum. Light-duty or seasonal process applications should be inspected at least twice a year.
Maintaining the proper glycol-to-water ratio prevents internal evaporator freeze-ups, inhibits pipe corrosion, and protects fluid lines from bursting if temperatures drop below freezing.
Contact a qualified technician immediately. Low flow restricts heat transfer, which quickly leads to system freeze-ups, automatic high-temperature shutoffs on production equipment, or compressor burnout.
Don’t let a process cooling failure disrupt your manufacturing schedule. Contact Blizzard Mechanical today at (203) 735-BLIZ or submit a form online to schedule service.
