Industrial Chillers
Industrial chillers
and industrial chillers systems are refrigeration systems that chill liquids, such as water, oil, brine, alcohol, chemicals, or acids, for industrial purposes. Industrial chillers
and industrial chillers systems and industrial chillers manufacturers operate through the use of refrigerants, which can be divided into two categories: primary
industrial chillers and secondary industrial chillers. Primary refrigerants used
in many industrial chillers and industrial chillers systems and by industrial
chillers manufacturers are substances, such as CFCs, HCFCs and HFCs, which change their physical state from liquid to vapor or vice versa, based on whether they absorb or release heat. Secondary refrigerants
used in many industrial chillers and industrial chillers systems and by
industrial chillers manufacturers include water, brine, and air and supplement primary
industrial chillers refrigerants.
In Industrial chillers and industrial chillers systems refrigerant gas passes through a heat exchanger while a liquid flows in the other direction on the opposite side of the exchanger. The refrigerant absorbs the heat lost by the liquid as a compressor compresses the refrigerant into a high pressure, high temperature gas. The gas then moves into the condenser coil, over which ambient air blows. The air, moved by one or more fans
in industrial chiller systems, removes heat from the gas, which causes it to condense into a high pressure, warm temperature liquid. The liquid passes through the expansion valve
in industrial chillers where a large pressure drop occurs, turning the liquid into a very cold mist. Finally, the mist returns to the heat exchanger, and the whole process begins again.
In order to choose correct
liquid chillers for an application, the
industrial chillers manufacturers needs to know the heat load, liquid to be chilled, temperature required in the
industrial chillers process, temperature returning from the process, flow rate of the process liquid, flow rate constancy, type of
industrial chillers circuit (open industrial chillers or closed-loop industrial
chillers), pressure required during the process, type of condenser cooling required, temperature of the condenser cooling medium, installation location, electrical service available, type of
industrial chillers system package (including tank, pump or pumps and controls), physical restrictions, type of compressor, and any other special details
regarding the industrial chillers or industrial chillers systems being used by
industrial chillers manufacturers.
