Hylec Controls Delivers Custom Marine Chiller Solution for Offshore Vessel

Hylec Controls has successfully developed a tailored seawater-cooling solution for a client operating in the offshore subsea sector. The client sought a compact and highly efficient chiller capable of cooling seawater from approximately 32°C down to 15°C at a flow rate of 20 m³/hr—while also meeting the strict durability and reliability requirements of marine environments.

When approached with the challenge, Hylec Controls initiated a detailed review of the vessel’s operating conditions, environmental constraints, and available installation footprint. Their engineering team explored multiple configurations, assessing corrosion resistance, power integration, vibration levels, and long-term serviceability at sea.

Through this process, Hylec Controls identified a system design that meets all key performance targets while remaining compact enough for integration on board. The final solution features marine-grade construction, high thermal efficiency, and stable temperature control suitable for continuous offshore operation. View product

This project highlights Hylec Controls’ commitment to delivering customised, high-performance equipment for demanding marine and geotechnical applications. By working closely with the client to understand operational needs and vessel constraints, Hylec Controls ensured the chiller system was precisely matched to the unique requirements of the project.

Hylec Controls continues to support customers across Australia and New Zealand with engineered cooling, testing, and measurement solutions built for challenging environments.
