I would like to make parts of my 3d model transparent/translucent like I would in Navis works. I want to make my chiller see through but everything else opaque.

If the chiller is made up of 3D solids you can make them transparent by selecting them and typing a number (up to 90) in the transparency field of the properties palette. You can also make a layer with a transparency setting and put it on that layer.
+1 with MHensley
Also, don't forget TRANSPARENCYDIPLAY=1 (or click the "checkerboard" icon on the ACAD bar) to see the transparency on screen and tick PLOT TRANSPARENCY at plottime.

I really appreciate your replies.
Those are really cool answers
In the model it was transparent as I requested. As DJ deduced I wanted to plot with this transparency.
However the plot did not come out correctly with my pipe.
I had to fiddle with the visual styles flyout (as displayed) and ribbon (realistic)
