Quick Take
An industrial water chiller is really a cooling decision: how much heat does the equipment produce, and how much water volume and compressor power are needed to carry that heat away. The four listed machines here span a wide price range, from under USD 300 to over USD 5,400, because they are built for different workloads rather than different versions of the same task. A small laser engraver has very different cooling requirements than a large process-cooling line. The choice comes down to matching compressor power, tank size, and listed condition to the scale of the job.

Decision Matrix
The right machine depends on your heat load, tank volume, and whether you want new or used equipment.
| If your priority is... | Start with... |
|---|---|
| Keeping a single CO2 laser tube cool at the lowest listed price | The Uimoso KH-6000 |
| A used chiller for a CNC CO2 laser engraver or cutter | The OMTech CW-5200 |
| A new mid-size industrial chiller with a range of compressor options | The Uimoso multi-configuration chiller |
| The largest listed tank and cooling capacity in this group | The Gletscher 15 Ton |
Product Notes
Secondhand Industrial Water Chiller CW5200 for CNC CO2 Laser Engraver Cutter
This used OMTech water chiller is the most direct match for a CNC CO2 laser engraver or cutter when you want to keep the initial cost low. At USD 293.89, it is the second-least expensive listing in the group, and the CW5200 details include a 0.93 hp compressor, a 6 L enclosed tank, a 10 L/min max flow, and a 29.5 ft max pumping lift. The compact footprint and internal temperature sensors are useful for steady cooling during engraving runs. The trade-off is condition: this listing is secondhand, so the price reflects used equipment rather than a new-unit purchase. If a new unit matters more than the entry cost, the Uimoso listings are the new-condition alternatives.
Gletscher 15 Ton Air-cooled Industrial Water Chiller 22.1 HP with 53 Gal Tank
The Gletscher is the highest-listed-price chiller in this set at USD 5,399.99, and its details show why: 22.1 HP compressor, 53 Gal water tank, and 153,546 BTU/hr listed cooling capacity. The description also points to a high-flow circulation system delivering up to 360 L/min and a 480V/60Hz input. Those numbers make it the clear pick for large, continuous heat loads where a benchtop chiller would be quickly overwhelmed. The main limitation is the scale of the commitment: a 15-ton-class chiller with a 53 Gal tank and 480V input is a major purchase in listed price and physical size, not something you would add to a small laser desk.
Uimoso 5/6/8/15/20 ton Air-cooled Industrial Water Chiller 5HP to 25HP Chiller
This new Uimoso listing sits in the middle of the price range at USD 2,588.99. Its main strength is flexibility: the listing covers compressor power ratings that include 5HP, 6HP, 15HP, 12.3HP, 16.67HP, and 25HP, and it uses a fully enclosed vortex compressor with R407 coolant. For a shop that wants more capacity than the compact KH-6000 but does not need the full scale of the Gletscher, this is the option to weigh. The limitation is that the listing spans multiple configurations, so the exact capacity is not pinned to one machine; the practical task is to match the specific compressor option to your heat load.
Uimoso Industrial Water Chiller KH-6000, 12L Capacity, 7.8 L/min Flow Rate
At USD 280.66, the KH-6000 is the least expensive listing in the group. This new chiller has a 12 L water reservoir and is described as suitable for CO2 laser engraving machines with laser tubes up to 100W. The carbon steel and copper construction, plus a transparent water level indicator, make it a practical choice for a bench-level laser setup that needs reliable water circulation without a huge tank. The limitation is capacity: with one cooling unit and a 12 L reservoir, it is sized for a single laser tube or small machine, not for multi-station or high-heat industrial lines. For a compact, low-cost water chiller, this listing is the place to start.
Final Recommendation by Use Case
For a compact chiller at the lowest listed price, the Uimoso KH-6000 is the most direct choice for a smaller laser tube. For CNC CO2 laser work, the used OMTech CW-5200 offers a secondhand price point for the same class of job. For shops that want a new chiller with multiple compressor options, the Uimoso multi-configuration model is the middle-tier pick. And for the largest cooling capacity and tank in this comparison, the Gletscher 15 Ton is the heavy-duty option.
