Hi all,

I'm planning end-of-life transition for our chilled water recirculator which
services two helium compressor cold heads. The main unit sits in a hallway
just outside the lab, and the building's design doesn't allow for putting
it anywhere else.

1) Any recommendations for vendor or chiller type? I'm also interested in
general quotes (feel free to message me privately with any insights on what
we might expect).

2) Some in my department are pushing for integrating into the chemistry building's
existing chilled water network. I've not heard of labs choosing this approach,
and my impression is endless complications from algae and other sundry building
issues. Anyone seen success with this? Or is it one of those 39-and-a-half-foot-pole topics?

Kind regards,
Luke
