Breaking the Cooling Limits: Ice-Making Performance Debuts

Responding to the demands of professional ice bath users, the all-new COLDCHILLER water chiller delivers true ice-making-level cooling performance. This time, it is a genuinely ice bath experience.

In the latest engineering validation tests, the new COLDCHILLER ice bath chiller demonstrated exceptional ice-making performance: after continuous operation for 6 hours, a 3cm-thick layer of ice crystals formed on the surface of 120 liters of water.

Unlike some manufacturers claiming “near freezing temperatures” that rarely produce ice in real conditions—or only form thin ice under small volume water lab tests—the new COLDCHILLER ice bath chiller delivers true freezing-grade cooling output for real, single-user ice bath water volumes.

Simultaneously, the new COLDCHILLER cooling system prevents water from forming solid ice blocks, maintaining it in a slush-like state instead. This ensures uninterrupted water circulation and convection, as well as long-term running stability.

So what advantages does this ice-making cooling performance—surpassing traditional ice bath systems—bring to our customers and partners?

Ice-Making Cooling Creates Operational Advantages in Commercial Use

Traditional commercial ice bath operations often rely on manual ice replenishment and incur ice storage costs. The new COLDCHILLER ice bath chiller will drive the transformation of ice baths from a high-consumption, disposable model to a sustainable, automated, integrated system solution.

In the past, ice was a consumable, and the effectiveness of ice baths relied heavily on manual labor. The ice-freezing cooling performance eliminates the need for frequent ice replenishment, delivering consistent ice bath performance through the equipment itself.

This opens up sustainable usage possibilities for commercial ice baths and professional recovery settings.

Ice-Making Cooling, Built for Professional Recovery

The ice-making ice bath chiller will prove invaluable in high-end ice baths and professional rehabilitation settings.

By maintaining water within a controlled freezing range, this system delivers consistent, high-intensity cold stimulation tailored to elite training facilities, premium gyms, and specialized rehabilitation centers.

Who Is Ice-Making Ice Bath Designed For?

The ice-making ice bath chiller is specifically designed for advanced users who have adapted to basic cold therapy and require more intense, more sustained cold stimulation, such as:

• Professional or semi-professional athletes
• Individuals undergoing high-intensity cyclical training
• Trainers requiring post-competition recovery.

In practice, the new ice-making ice bath chiller is particularly suited for institutional users with professional recovery systems.

The ideal application is in sports recovery centers, training facilities, or rehabilitation institutions that offer systematic recovery programs, where it serves as an advanced cold therapy option. Use requires clear operational procedures and professional supervision.

More Eco-Friendly: All-New UV Water Disinfection System

The all-new ice-making ice bath chiller features a cleaner, more environmentally friendly UV disinfection system, aligning better with the concept of sustainability.

Why UV Disinfection Replaces Traditional Ozone Method

Following the 2025 revision of the EU CLP Regulation and stricter controls on ozone-depleting substances, the new COLDCHILLER ice bath chiller will replace traditional ozone disinfection with an ultraviolet (UV) disinfection system.

The newly integrated UV disinfection system utilizes ultraviolet light of a specific wavelength to efficiently inactivate bacteria and viruses. Crucially, the entire disinfection process produces no chemical residues.

This not only complies with regulatory requirements but also signifies COLDCHILLER is actively fulfilling its sustainability commitment through technological innovation, helping global customers to meet future environmental challenges.

Key Advantages of UV Disinfection

Environmentally Friendly: No chemical products are introduced into the water throughout the entire process.
Stable: Disinfection efficiency remains unaffected by low temperatures.
Instant Disinfection: No waiting required; does not affect ice bath usage.
Easy Operation and Maintenance: No need to cover with an insulated cover during disinfection.

Quieter Operation: Only 56 dB

Engineering tests confirm that the new ice bath chiller operates at just 56 decibels under standard conditions. This volume is comparable to the sound of normal indoor conversation.

It means that in environments requiring quiet, such as offices and indoor gyms, it can be virtually masked by ambient background noise in quiet-sensitive spaces like offices and indoor gyms, the noise is almost completely masked by ambient background noise.

In premium settings catering to high-end clientele, such as boutique gyms, luxury resorts, and professional recovery centers, superior noise control becomes a key competitive advantage. It empowers brands to create serene, professional recovery environments and showcase their high-quality service.

More Stable: Intelligent Protection for Low-Temperature Running

To cope with prolonged operation in freezing-level refrigeration or harsh winter conditions in high-latitude regions, the new COLDCHILLER ice bath chiller features built-in multi-stage intelligent winter anti-freeze frost protection. It is specifically designed to prevent freezing damage to water pipes, pumps, and core components caused by low temperatures.

Active Anti-Freeze Frost Protection in Power-Off and Standby Modes

Even when the device is powered off or in standby mode, the system continuously monitors ambient temperature and the water outlet temperature. Once temperatures reach hazardous levels, the device will automatically enter anti-freeze operation mode.

This process requires no manual intervention, eliminating the risk of equipment damage from freezing during shutdown, standby, or unattended periods.

After the anti-freeze protection mode is activated, it will respond in a stepped manner according to varying temperature conditions.

Three-Level Anti-Freeze Frost Protection

Level 1 Frost Protection: The water pump operates periodically to maintain water flow.
Level 2 Frost Protection: The water pump runs continuously to ensure a constant water flow.
Level 3 Frost Protection: The heating function activates to prevent the equipment component from freezing.

The frost protection feature reduces the risk of equipment damage caused by winter shutdowns or prolonged inactivity, enhancing operational reliability.

Structural Upgrade: Easier to Replace Water Pump

In commercial ice bath applications, the water pump—running at high frequency and under sustained loads—is typically the first core component to reach its service limit. This structural upgrade focuses on easier water pump removal and replacement, significantly improving maintenance efficiency.

One-Step Maintenance Access Design

Previously, replacing the water pump in a chiller required removing multiple outer casing panels and the entire top cover, a complicated and time-consuming process.

The new COLDCHILLER ice bath chiller features a dedicated maintenance panel. Technicians can now simply remove this panel to directly inspect and replace the water pump, greatly simplifying the procedure.

Better Suited for Commercial Occasion

For commercial applications, equipment downtime for maintenance directly impacts normal operations. This structural improvement significantly reduces the time required to replace water pumps, effectively minimizing disruption to business hours.

Upgraded Heating Performance

The all-new COLDCHILLER ice bath chiller achieves more efficient heating through an improved condenser. Its heating speed has been significantly enhanced, capable of a 10°C（18°F）temperature rise in just one hour, delivering outstanding performance.
