Chilling Without an Integral Sump
A tankless falling film chiller keeps the enclosed cabinet and the Temp-Plate evaporator plates but omits the collection tank. Chilled water leaves the unit directly into an existing sump, storage tank or process loop.
When it makes sense. Where a chilled water tank already exists, where the process itself provides the buffer volume, or where floor space is tight enough that the tank is the binding constraint on installation.
What you have to provide. Buffer volume somewhere. The refrigeration system needs thermal mass to avoid short cycling, and without an integral tank that mass has to come from the storage or the process loop. Say what you have and the control arrangement is designed around it.
Available in both plate formats. Tankless configurations are offered with 3x5 and 4x8 evaporators, so the capacity range is the same as the tanked units.

Tankless Falling Film Chillers
Thermal Mass Is the Design Question
Refrigeration systems need somewhere to put capacity when demand drops, or they short cycle and wear. An integral tank provides that; without one, the storage or the process loop must.
Tell us the volume and temperature of what the chiller discharges into, and the control arrangement follows. This is the item most often overlooked when a tankless unit is specified purely on footprint.
Common FAQs
Because you already have the storage. If the process or an existing sump provides the buffer volume, an integral tank duplicates it and consumes floor space for nothing.
Not if the system has thermal mass somewhere. That is the design question with a tankless unit, and it is why we ask about the volume and temperature of whatever the chiller discharges into.
Yes. Capacity comes from evaporator plate count, which is unaffected by whether the cabinet includes a sump.
