This versatile machine effectively absorbs the heat from the industrial water and eliminates it into the surrounding environment.
After that, you can, in turn, use the eliminated heat for other auxiliary purposes such as warming the industrial machines during winter seasons.
Take note; it is the refrigerant present in the chiller that is responsible for cooling the process water or extracts the heat from the industrial process water.
That entire process takes place in the condenser part of the chiller.
Apart from that, the chillers come in an array of modifications, most of them being compact, highly efficient, quick to install and disassemble.
Thus, they are ultimately suitable for supplemental, emergency, and temporary usage.
The following are what you should consider:
Initially, the heat burden you have to evaluate and determine the quantity of heat that your chiller shall eliminate.
The heat burden is thus the amount of heat that the machine expells.
With the right information, you shall be on track to selecting a suitable machine.
The installation surrounding; Determine whether you have proper spacing.
You have to decide between installing it either indoors or outdoors, and lastly, evaluate the exact ambient temperature for where you shall install it.
Better still, find out whether you shall need extra accessories for your chiller.
Coolant parameters; next, you have to verify the machine’s coolant flow and pressure, then weigh them against your application.
Note that if these two specifications are much lower or higher than your expectations, then obviously, you shall underutilize them.
For clarity, you can always find the coolant parameters information embedded on the device.
Coolant temperature range; another fundamental aspect of your decision is the working temperature; you have to evaluate it if it coincides with your temperature expectations.
Again, failure to which you may bump onto a machine that least meets your expectations.
Noise; air-cooled water chillers produce different degrees of noise, some much while others low.
The extent of noise depends on the compressor specifications, so make sure to recheck them.
Type of compressor; generally, you shall find three compressors, i.e., centrifugal, reciprocating, and screw-type compressors.
The reciprocating type delivers little refrigerant but at too high pressure.
Elsewhere, the centrifugal one is a popular type due to its efficiency and delivery of the refrigerant at a high flow rate compared to a reciprocating compressor of equal size.
Lastly, the screw compressor is entirely mechanical in its operations. It comprises two significant screws joined.
Ultimately, depending on your application and needs, you have to choose the best compressor type keenly.
