You can estimate the required capacity by converting the kVA for your machine at its rated duty cycle to BTU's per hour. You will oversize your chiller doing this, because your welder is not 100% efficient at producing heat.

A chiller is a machine that removes heat from a liquid via a vapor-compression or absorption refrigeration cycle. Most often water is chilled, but this water may also contain 20% glycol and corrosion inhibitors; other fluids such as thin oils can be chilled as well.
