Textile Cooling, Matched to the Application
Textile machinery and production processes can have different cooling requirements. Start with what you need to cool, then choose the cooling method that fits the application.
Electrical Control Panel
PLC, VFD, drives and automation equipment inside the electrical enclosure.

Panel AC for Textile Machinery
Textile machinery commonly uses PLCs, VFDs, drives, power supplies and automation controls inside electrical enclosures. Where the requirement is to control the temperature inside the enclosure, a Panel AC is the appropriate cooling route.
Spinning
Control and drive cabinets
Weaving
Loom and machine control panels
Knitting
Electrical and automation cabinets
Winding
Control and drive panels
Chillers for Textile Machinery & Processes
Where a machine or process has a circulating fluid that requires controlled temperature, an industrial chiller can be selected based on the actual application.
Machine Oil
Fluid temperature control for applicable machine circuits.
Machine Coolant
Cooling for applicable coolant circuits.
Process Water
Controlled cooling for applicable process circuits.
Process Fluid
Application-specific process cooling.
One Textile Machine Can Have More Than One Cooling Requirement
Electrical System
PLC + VFD + Drives
→ Panel AC
Machine / Process Circuit
Oil + Coolant + Water
→ Industrial Chiller
These are separate cooling requirements and can be evaluated independently according to the machine and process.
How Do We Select the Right Cooling System?
Panel AC
Panel dimensions · Internal heat load · Ambient temperature · Required panel temperature · Mounting arrangement · Operating environment
Chiller
Fluid type · Current temperature · Required temperature · Flow rate · Heat load · Ambient temperature · Operating hours
Not Sure Which Cooling Route Fits?
Share the machine or process, what needs cooling, current temperature, required temperature and fluid details where applicable.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do textile machines use Panel AC?
Yes, where PLCs, VFDs, drives and other electrical equipment inside the machine control enclosure require dedicated enclosure cooling.
Do textile machines use chillers?
Yes, where the machine or process has a circulating oil, coolant, water or other fluid that requires controlled cooling.
Can one textile machine require both?
Yes. An electrical control cabinet and a separate machine or process fluid circuit can have different cooling requirements.
What information is needed for selection?
Panel cooling requires enclosure and heat-load information. Chiller selection requires fluid, temperature, flow and heat-load information. Glacier engineers can review the application when the exact capacity is not yet known.
