Lytron Inc., Woburn, Mass., launched a recirculating chiller selector tool on its web site, www.lytron.com. Based on user input of heat load, the program selects up to five recirculating chillers that will work for the application. The selection process can be further refined by inputting the setpoint temperature, ambient temperature, desired flow rate or power configuration.
