Types of industrial chillers?
An industrial chiller is a refrigeration system that cools a process fluid or reduces the air humidity of commercial and industrial complexes. An industrial chiller consists of two vapor compression cycles. Vapor Absorption Cycle is used to produce cold. The range of applications of industrial chillers is wide ranging from cooling of aerospace equipment to fluid cooling of all kinds of production processes and chemical processes. Common power for industrial chillers is between 1 and 1000 tons of refrigeration. Of course, higher than this power may be needed for special and rare applications.
Industrial equipment generates a lot of heat during operation due to friction or ignition of products. If this heat is not removed from the device, it may cause serious damage to the device or reduce its lifespan. To cool this equipment, a fluid is used that reaches this fluid by moving inside the channels inside the equipment. , are installed, take the heat and transfer it to the outside of the device. The liquid that comes out of the device has a high temperature and is not suitable for re-entering the device. For this reason, an industrial chiller is used to reduce the temperature of this fluid. Due to the suitable thermal properties of water, it is often used as a cooling fluid.
The fluid that cools the device is known as the process fluid, and for this reason, it is sometimes referred to as chillers that cool this fluid. It is also called a process chiller.
🔰 Classification based on the type of fluid agent 🔰 🔰
✨ Air-cooled industrial chiller: In industrial chillers where the capacity of the chiller is low or there is no access to water, condensers are used that are cooled using air and These chillers are called air-cooled chillers. Usually, the capacity of this type of chillers is lower than water-cooled and evaporative chillers, and the number of their components and parts is less.
✨water-cooled industrial chiller: In the water-cooled industrial chiller condenser, the refrigerant is cooled in a heat exchanger using water. The temperature of the water that cools the refrigerant increases and therefore this water is sent to the cooling tower to give its heat to the ambient air. This type of chillers have more complex systems, and for this reason, their use and maintenance is much more difficult than other chillers.
✨ Industrial chiller with evaporative condenser: This industrial chiller is actually a design between water-cooled and air-cooled chillers. In these chillers, the condenser architecture is similar to air-cooled chillers, while on the air side of the heat exchanger, water is sprayed on the fins or tubes to absorb more heat from the refrigerant by evaporating the water.
Industrial chiller is one of the refrigeration systems that has a special place in the industry. Choosing a suitable chiller can minimize your current and initial costs and maximize the sustainability of your industry. In addition to the high quality of the products, it also has a long experience in the field of industrial chillers.
