Chiller Selection Charts

Chart 1 and 2 data are based on a closed recirculating system with chiller / heat pump on full time.
Charts show maximum volumes of water (Gallons) that can be maintained at various temperature differences below ambient air temperture.
Caution: Charts assume maximum of one pump with a three times per hour water turnover rate and basic fluorescent lighting.
Consult Aqua Logic for proper sizing with multiple pumps, protein skimmers and high intensity lighting.

Chart No. 1
Uninsulated Tanks: Acrylic and Glass. For polypropylene / ethylene tanks take gallons x .8 = net gallons
