Gladiator Hydra Chillers
The Gladiator Hydra specification provides the ultimate level of protection for those processes which are mission-critical.
Utilising both refrigeration and water circuit redundancy, the Gladiator Hydra specification makes sure you are protected when you need it the most. The Hydra specification is powered by our Advanced PCB controller, which is found on our classic “R Series” industrial chillers. Dual redundant compressors and pumps are utlitised to soften the impact of any service interventions required.

Enclosure
The stylish and practical structural enclosure is robustly constructed with a rigid frame, powder-coated galvanised aluminium panels and heavy-duty castors. The Gladiator Titan Series enclosure is designed for indoor or outdoor installation.
Condensers
Aqua Cooler uses a custom-designed and manufactured condenser in the Gladiator Titan Series of chillers. The G series uses an advanced hydrophilic coating on the condenser and has the option of Blygold coating for extreme environments.
Electrical
Every component in the Gladiator Titan chiller has been selected for reliability and longevity. Electrical components, including breakers and relays, are sourced from reputable suppliers such as Schneider. The controller is easy to use with “set and forget” reliability.
Pumps
A range of pump options is available for the Gladiator Titan Series chiller. All of which are sourced from highly reputable and market-leading manufacturers. Gladiator Titan Series chillers can optionally be used with an external pump if required.

Compressor
Gladiator Titan chillers compressors bring you long-lasting reliability and durability with exceptionally high standards of quality. Only the best of the best make the cut, such as Emerson and Danfoss.
Evaporators
Gladiator Titan chillers are equipped as standard with an efficient plate pack evaporator.

Optional upgrade: Advanced Chiller Monitoring Solutions
Refrigeration trouble frequently happens when no one is looking. Let’s face it, you have better things to do. But what if modern technology could be applied to your refrigeration system? What if you could automate the monitoring of the entire system and have the power to know exactly what’s going on all the time. Now you can!
Save Money
Move from reactive refrigeration maintenance (breakdown maintenance) to Reliability Centered Maintenance (RCM) with monitoring and cut costs by up to 66% per year.
Find Leaks
Leaks happen and are frequently found way too late. Replacing refrigerants is costly. With Our monitoring system, you find leaks early – before they cause real trouble.
Avoid Outages
Costly outages are now a thing of the past! Our monitoring system lets you know the moment your refrigeration system needs attention, well before expensive repairs, spoilage and waste occur.
Works With All Aqua Chillers
Thanks to advances in technology, every Aqua Chiller installation, new or existing, can now be made smart.
