What sets the price of a chiller in Bangladesh
Two quotations for “a 50 TR chiller” can differ by more than a factor of two and both be honest, because they are not quoting the same machine or the same scope. Capacity is only the first of nine variables.
Swipe the table sideways to see every column.
| Cost driver | Why it changes the price | Effect |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity (TR) | Compressor, evaporator, condenser and control panel all scale together. | The largest single driver |
| Condenser type | An air cooled machine needs no tower, no condenser pump and no water treatment. A water cooled machine is smaller and more efficient but brings a cooling tower and a condenser pump into the scope. | Changes both the capital cost and the running cost for the life of the plant |
| Compressor type and make | Scroll, reciprocating or screw; Carrier, Bitzer, Danfoss, Daikin or equivalent. | Often the largest line in the bill of materials below 50 TR |
| Imported complete or locally assembled | A complete imported unit carries freight, LC and duty. A locally assembled unit has a shorter lead time and easier spares. | Moves with the exchange rate and the duty on the day |
| Evaporator type | Shell-and-tube or plate. Plate is compact; shell-and-tube tolerates dirtier water. | Moderate on price, decisive on how the machine behaves on your water |
| Chilled water temperature | Below about 5 °C a glycol solution is needed and the machine is de-rated. | A low-temperature duty needs a bigger machine for the same kW |
| Controls | Contactor panel, PLC control, or a variable frequency drive on the compressor. | Adds capital cost, repays it at part load |
| Materials | Copper, copper-nickel or stainless steel on the process side; coated condenser coils near an ETP or a dye house. | A clear premium, and the right answer in a corrosive atmosphere |
| Scope of supply | Chiller only, or the chilled-water plant with pumps, buffer tank, header, piping, insulation and commissioning. | Ask for the split — this is where two quotations differ most |
MHM quotes against your duty rather than publishing a list price, because the compressor brand, the exchange rate and the import duty on the day of the LC all move the figure. What the quotation does state, in writing, is the model, the capacity in TR and kW, the total power input, and equipment and installation as separate lines.
Ask for the scope split
A quotation for the chiller alone and a quotation for the chilled-water plant are different documents. The plant version carries pumps, a buffer tank, the header, piping, insulation, valves and commissioning. Ask every vendor to price them as separate lines, or you are comparing nothing.
The same applies to running cost. Divide total power input by capacity in TR and you get kW per TR, which is the only honest way to compare two machines on electricity: on the MCH table a 100 TR machine draws 88 kW total input, which is 0.88 kW per TR. One caveat: the sheet does not state the ambient, the condenser-water temperature or the chilled-water condition those figures are measured at, and it does not separate air cooled from water cooled ratings — so ask for the rating condition in writing before you compare it with another maker’s number.
What is quoted separately
- Chilled-water and condenser pumps
- Buffer tank, header and valves
- Piping, insulation and supports
- Cooling tower and its civil base (water cooled machines)
- Electrical connection, starter or drive panel and interlocks
- Water treatment programme and first fill of chemicals
- Installation, commissioning and operator handover
Air cooled, water cooled, or the whole loop
Air cooled chiller
Rejects heat straight to ambient air through a finned condenser. No cooling tower, no condenser pump, no water chemistry, and it can stand on the roof or in the yard.
- Lower installation cost
- Quicker availability
- No cooling tower or condenser pump required
- Less maintenance, no mechanical room needed
Water cooled chiller
Rejects heat into condenser water and needs a cooling tower and condenser pump, but runs at a lower condensing temperature, so it draws less power per TR on a continuous load.
- Higher efficiency on continuous duty
- Larger tonnage capacity available
- Indoor chiller location, longer life
- Smaller machine for the same duty
Chiller plus cooling tower package
The whole loop from one supplier: chiller, FRP cooling tower, condenser and chilled-water pumps, piping, insulation, water treatment and commissioning, priced as one scope with the lines shown separately.
| Decision factor | Air cooled | Water cooled |
|---|---|---|
| Cooling tower required | No | Yes — plus condenser pump and water treatment |
| Plant room | Not required; installed outdoors or on the roof | Indoor plant room normally required |
| Power per TR | Higher — it condenses against ambient air | Lower — it condenses against tower water |
| Water consumption | None | Evaporation, drift and blowdown, continuously |
| Maintenance | Condenser coil cleaning; no water chemistry | Tower cleaning, chemical dosing, condenser tube cleaning |
| Typical size band in Bangladesh | Up to about 100 TR | Commonly chosen above about 100 TR |
| Installed cost | Lower — fewer items in the scope | Higher — tower, pump, piping and treatment are included |
The short version: if there is no space or no water for a tower, or the plant runs intermittently, air cooled usually wins. If the plant runs two or three shifts at high load, the lower kW per TR of a water cooled machine repays the extra scope.
MHM chiller specifications — the full MCH range
Straight from MHM’s own published data sheet. One TR is 12,000 BTU/h or 3.517 kW of cooling; the chilled-water flow column corresponds to a 5 °C rise across the evaporator, and total power input is the number to use when you compare running cost between quotations.

Source: MHM Machineries BD Limited, Specification of Chiller (PDF). Refrigerant R22 / R407c. Capacity in kW is the BTU/h figure converted at 3,412 BTU/h per kW. Two notes on the sheet itself. The model named MCH-7.5 is rated 84,000 BTU/h, which is 7.0 TR rather than 7.5 — the capacity column, not the model name, is the number to quote. And the pipe size for MCH-150 and MCH-180 is printed as “10”, which does not fit the progression of the neighbouring sizes, so it is shown here as “on quotation” rather than reproduced as a figure you might order pipe against. Specifications are subject to change according to requirement, brand and availability.
Duties above 200 TR are met by running machines in parallel on a common chilled-water header. For the same data in Bengali, read চিলার কিভাবে কাজ করে and চিলারের বিভিন্ন অংশের নাম.
How to size a chiller from your own heat load
Size from heat load, never from floor area. The chilled-water side of the calculation is five lines long.
- Measure the flow. The water flow your process actually circulates, in litres per second.
- Fix the temperature drop. The drop across the load in °C. Five degrees is the common design figure, and it is the basis of the flow column in the table above.
- Convert to kW. Load in kW = flow (l/s) × 4.19 × temperature drop (°C).
- Convert to TR. Capacity in TR = kW ÷ 3.517.
- Add the allowance, then select. Add for future load and for diversity between machines, then take the next model up from the MCH table — never the one below.
Worked example — a dye house
A dye house circulating 8 l/s with a 5 °C rise has a load of 8 × 4.19 × 5 = 167.6 kW, which is 167.6 ÷ 3.517 = 47.7 TR. With a 10 percent allowance that is about 52 TR, so the selection is the next model up — an MCH-60, not an MCH-50.
If you do not know your flow, send the machine list, the process temperature you have to hold and the shift pattern, and MHM will run the calculation with you. Background reading: why factories use chillers and which compressor type a chiller uses.
Below 5 °C, say so on the enquiry
A standard water chiller is selected for a chilled-water supply around 7 °C with a 5 °C rise. Below about 5 °C the water side risks freezing at the evaporator, so a glycol solution is used and the machine is de-rated, because glycol carries less heat per litre than water. That changes the model, so it has to be on the enquiry, not discovered at commissioning.
Where industrial chillers earn their keep in Bangladesh
Textile dyeing and finishing
A jet or soft-flow dyeing machine has to bring its bath back down before the fabric can be unloaded. Chilled water shortens the cool-down leg, so the machine turns more batches per shift, and it holds the same end point every time — which is what stops shade variation between batches. The mills around Narayanganj, Gazipur, Savar and Ashulia are the classic setting for this duty.
Plastics — moulding and extrusion
Mould temperature decides cycle time, and every extra second is multiplied by thousands of shots a day. Chilled water at a stable set point shortens the cycle and reduces warping. One caution for this climate: water below the dew point condenses on the tool in Dhaka’s humidity, so the loop is controlled to a set point rather than run as cold as the machine can make it.
Pharmaceutical manufacturing
Chilled water does two jobs here — it feeds the cooling coils of the air handling units that hold cleanroom temperature and humidity inside a validated band, and it cools reactor and vessel jackets. Neither duty tolerates an unplanned stop, so two machines for a load that needs one and a half is normal. See pharmaceutical HVAC.
Food and beverage
Bakery dough water is chilled so mixer friction cannot push the dough past its target temperature. Beverage lines chill carbonation and filling; dairy and juice plants cool the regeneration and final sections of a pasteuriser through a plate heat exchanger. Cold stores and blast rooms need a glycol loop below zero, which is a different selection and must be stated on the enquiry.
Steel re-rolling and induction furnaces
An induction coil and its power supply must be cooled with clean, low-conductivity water, so the plant runs a closed circuit and rejects its heat through a plate or shell-and-tube heat exchanger into an open tower circuit. Where the closed loop must hold a tighter temperature than a tower can deliver on a humid afternoon, a chiller takes that duty over.
What MHM supplies around the machine
A chiller is only as good as the loop around it. These are supplied and installed as part of the same scope.
Chiller compressors
Reciprocating, scroll and screw compressors. MHM lists its compressor brands as Carrier, Bitzer, Danfoss and Daikin or equivalent, and the origins it works with as American, European, Japanese and Malaysian.
Shell and tube heat exchanger
Locally manufactured, customised size with a short lead time, and suitable for both heating and cooling duty.
Plate type heat exchanger
Imported as well as locally assembled, customised to the customer’s requirement — the usual way to separate a clean closed loop from an open tower circuit.
Radiator type heat exchanger
Locally manufactured in customised sizes, used for dry heat rejection where water is scarce or the loop must stay closed.
Chilled water and condenser pumps
Centrifugal pumps sized against the flow in the capacity table and the head of the circuit, with strainers, valves and standby arrangement where the duty is continuous.
Piping, insulation and water treatment
Chilled-water piping, pipe and duct insulation and insulation chemicals, plus dosing chemicals for the chiller, the cooling tower and the boiler.
Installation, commissioning and after-sales
Commissioning is where a chilled-water plant is proved or lost. This is what MHM’s scope covers.
Installation
Machine foundation and anti-vibration mounts; chilled-water and condenser-water piping with strainers, valves and expansion provision; insulation; the electrical connection from the distribution board with starter or variable frequency drive; and the interlocks between chiller, pumps and cooling tower so the compressor cannot run without flow.
Commissioning
Flushing and pressure test of the loop before the machine is opened to it, verification of flow against the design figure in the capacity table, refrigerant charge check, superheat and sub-cooling readings, safety and interlock testing, a temperature pull-down under real load, and operator handover with the readings recorded on paper.
After-sales
Scheduled maintenance — condenser and evaporator cleaning, refrigerant and oil checks, electrical tightening, control calibration — and spare parts for the compressors and heat exchangers MHM supplies. MHM’s own note on availability is that accessories and associated products are available at any instant; ask what is actually on the shelf for your model and compressor before you need it. Warranty terms vary by product and brand and are stated on each quotation: ask what is covered on the compressor as against the rest of the machine, and whether site labour is included. Installation, maintenance and repair services.

Frequently asked questions
What is the price of a chiller machine in Bangladesh?
There is no single chiller price, because a 5 TR scroll unit and a 200 TR screw plant are different classes of machine. The price is set by capacity in TR, condenser type (air cooled or water cooled), compressor type and brand, whether the unit is imported complete or locally assembled, and how much of the chilled-water loop is in the scope. Send the process, the heat load and the water temperature you must hold, and MHM Machineries returns a written quotation with the model, the capacity and the scope stated line by line.
How many TR of chiller does my factory need?
Size from heat load, not floor area. Chilled-water load in kW equals flow in litres per second × 4.19 × the temperature drop in °C; divide kW by 3.517 for TR. For example, 8 litres per second cooled by 5 °C is 167.6 kW, which is 47.7 TR; with a 10 percent allowance that is about 52 TR, so the next model up — a 60 TR machine — is selected.
What is the difference between an air cooled and a water cooled chiller?
An air cooled chiller rejects heat straight to ambient air through a finned condenser, needs no cooling tower, no condenser pump and no water treatment, and normally stands outdoors. A water cooled chiller rejects heat into condenser water and needs a cooling tower, a condenser pump and a water treatment programme, but runs at a lower condensing temperature and therefore uses less power per TR. Above roughly 100 TR the water cooled route is usually chosen in Bangladesh for that reason.
What chiller capacity range does MHM Machineries supply?
The published MCH range runs from 1.5 TR (18,000 BTU/h, 15 l/min chilled water, 2 kW total input) to 200 TR (2,400,000 BTU/h, 2,020 l/min, 170 kW total input), in 26 sizes, on R22 / R407c. Units are supplied imported complete or locally assembled, in air cooled and water cooled configurations. Larger duties are handled by running machines in parallel on a common header.
What chilled water temperature can an industrial chiller hold?
A standard water chiller is selected for a chilled-water supply temperature around 7 °C with a 5 °C rise across the load. Below about 5 °C the water side risks freezing at the evaporator, so a glycol solution is used instead and the machine is de-rated, because glycol carries less heat per litre than water. State the temperature your process actually needs on the enquiry, because it changes the model selected.
How much electricity does an industrial chiller use?
Read the total power input column of the capacity table and multiply by running hours. Dividing total power input by capacity in TR gives the specific power in kW per TR, which is the figure to compare between quotations: on the MHM MCH table a 100 TR machine draws 88 kW total input, or 0.88 kW per TR. The sheet does not state the condition those figures are taken at, and does not separate air cooled from water cooled ratings, so treat it as a like-for-like comparison only once the condition is confirmed in writing. Real consumption rises as condenser water or ambient temperature rises, which is why condenser cleanliness and cooling tower performance show up on the electricity bill.
Which industries in Bangladesh use industrial chillers?
Textile dyeing and finishing mills, to bring dye baths down at the end of a cycle and to cool machine bearings and air compressors; plastics factories, to control mould and barrel water and therefore cycle time; pharmaceutical plants, for cleanroom air handling units and reactor jackets; food and beverage plants, for process and dough water and pasteuriser sections; and steel re-rolling and induction furnace plants, which run a closed cooling circuit separated by a heat exchanger.
