Anodizing & Plating
Thermal Care is a leading manufacturer of industrial process cooling equipment for the Metal and Surface Finishing Industry. Thermal Care's diverse line of cooling equipment for metal finishing process cooling includes refrigerated industrial portable and central chillers, evaporative cooling towers, adiabatic and dry coolers as well as a full line of custom pump tank systems that can be equipped with plate and frame heat exchangers to isolate your bath from the coolant. Applications include anodizing, plating and metal coating.
Temperature control is an important aspect of the anodizing, plating and metal finishing processes. Thermal Care anodizing and plating chillers are designed to maintain the correct temperature while removing the heat to keep the rectifier and tanks cool through the entire process.
Which type of cooling equipment is correct for your application? Do you need chilled water or can you go with an evaporative tower or possibly adiabatic cooling? Sometimes it can be difficult to sort out all the options.
Contact our application engineering staff to obtain a free consultation of your cooling and anodizing chiller needs.

Adiabatic Cooling
- Use much less water than conventional cooling tower systems
- Can provide 85°F water year–round
- In cooler weather, units can provide "free cooling"
- Closed-loop so there is no need to replace evaporated process water
- City water is introduced into the adiabatic pads decreasing the ambient air temperature
- Advanced water-saving control technology, carefully monitors ambient maximum adiabatic cooling without wasting water
