Chiller System for Healthcare & Hospitals
Chiller System for Healthcare & Hospitals: Purpose-Built Cooling from Lekwa Cooling Tower Services. Serving Sub-Saharan Africa.
Healthcare facilities don’t get downtime. Whether it’s a regional clinic or a major hospital, there’s no room for failure when it comes to temperature control. Operating theatres, ICUs, diagnostic labs, and pharmaceutical stores rely on stable, efficient cooling every hour of the day. That’s where we come in. At Lekwa Cooling Tower Services (LCTS), we design, supply, install and maintain chiller systems for healthcare & hospitals across Sub-Saharan Africa, ensuring dependable cooling backed by responsive service and industry expertise.
Precision Cooling That Safeguards Lives
In medical settings, HVAC systems aren’t just a comfort feature, they’re a critical safeguard. The wrong indoor temperature or humidity can compromise sterility, affect diagnostic accuracy, and even risk the integrity of medicine and vaccines.
With decades of experience behind us, LCTS helps hospitals and clinics achieve precise indoor climate control through air cooled chillers, water cooled chillers, and integrated commercial HVAC systems. Our solutions are built with performance and energy efficiency in mind, and maintained for long-term reliability.

Hospital Cooling Systems Built to Perform
At LCTS, we work closely with engineering consultants, facility managers, and hospital administrators to implement reliable chiller systems that match each facility’s infrastructure and patient care needs.
1. Air Cooled Scroll & Screw Chillers
Ideal for installations with limited space or where water usage is restricted, these systems provide highly efficient cooling without the need for cooling towers. Scroll chillers work best for smaller zones, while screw chillers can handle larger wings, operating blocks or diagnostics units.
2. Water Cooled Scroll & Screw Chillers
Best suited to larger hospitals or buildings with existing cooling tower infrastructure, these chillers deliver quiet, consistent performance, and higher energy efficiency. Screw chillers are particularly suited to base-load applications where continuous cooling is critical.
All our equipment supports low-GWP refrigerants and is compatible with thermal storage systems and solar energy integration—ensuring performance and environmental sustainability.
Full-Spectrum HVAC Services for Hospitals
Cooling a hospital isn’t just about one machine. It’s a network of interlinked systems that all need to work in sync. That’s why our service doesn’t stop at chillers, we also offer full HVAC services for healthcare & hospitals, including:
- CHW AHU (Chilled Water Air Handling Units) for theatres and specialised wards
- Fan Coil Units (FCUs) for energy-efficient room cooling
- VRV and Split Units for flexible zone management
- Heat Exchangers to transfer or recover energy across systems
- Commercial Refrigeration Systems for labs, pathology, and pharmacy cooling
- Dry Coolers for water-efficient heat rejection
We understand the importance of compliance and system uptime in healthcare. Our engineers and technicians follow strict protocols for hospital environments—minimising downtime and ensuring sterility during service or installation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which type of chiller system works best in hospitals?
Both air cooled and water cooled chillers are widely used in hospitals, depending on the available space, water access, and required cooling capacity. We recommend screw chillers for larger and high-demand environments, while scroll chillers are often used in smaller or modular buildings. Our team can help you assess your infrastructure and recommend the best fit.
Can LCTS retrofit old hospital cooling systems?
Yes. In fact, many hospitals come to us when their existing systems are underperforming or energy inefficient. We offer full retrofit and upgrade services, replacing key components, improving system design, and adding automation or renewable energy integration where possible.
How often should we service a hospital chiller system?
We recommend a structured preventative maintenance plan, including monthly visual checks, quarterly performance tests, and annual deep service. Our PPM contracts are customisable and include real-time monitoring for proactive issue detection.
Do you operate outside South Africa?
Yes. We proudly serve the Sub-Saharan Africa region, including Botswana, Namibia, Zambia, Mozambique, Ghana and others. We have the logistics, technician availability, and spares support to deliver full chiller system solutions across borders.
