Abstract

A method is disclosed for cooling a heat transfer fluid circulating in a cooling circuit including a chiller. The method includes installing on the circuit a vacuum housing having a heat exchange conduit extending therethrough and partially filled with a coolant and an atmosphere and pre-cooling the atmosphere and coolant within the vacuum housing to a pre-cooling temperature of between 35 and 60 degrees Fahrenheit using a conventional cooling system. Thereafter the pressure in the vacuum housing is reduced to between 1 and 500 millitorr until an initial cooling temperature in the range of of −50 to 35 degrees Fahrenheit is reached and the heat transfer fluid is then circulated through the heat exchange conduit and to the chiller and back. The pressure reduction in is obtained by selectively connecting the vacuum housing to a larger vacuum reservoir which is connected to a vacuum pump.
