    Default Chillers

    I'm alittle confused here. Do chillers have built in pumps or not?

    I am not very familiar with chillers, but I just asked and was told some do and some don't. Please don't ask which ones do because I ain't got any idea. LOL

    Im guessing it has a pump. Anyone know anything good/bad about these?

    Might be perfect for a BC14, and it would fit in the stand.

    I keep reading flow rates posted in descriptions. That would leave me to believe that they do not have a pump installed. I was trying to do some quick searches to help you out, but like you I am not having luck and am now confused

    That doesn't have a pump. I've got one of those little chillers (from my brother in law who upgraded to a bigger chiller) sitting in my hallway that I was supposed to rig up but didn't feel it was worth it ...

    hahahaha same here...They give recommended flow rates, but then they talk about being quiet. what else can make noise in a heat exchanger besides the pump....

    Actually, the chiller itself isn't 100% silent either -- they are essentially a small refrigeration unit.. When mine kicks on, I can hear its fan start, and a slight hum of the compressor running. Its not LOUD, but the chiller itself is definitely not silent.
