Air Cooled Chillers, Process Cooling Products

Covering your air cooled screw chiller up to prevent dust, and make sure to tighten the pressure covers, valve nuts and screw off the discharge water nuts. 1)When cleaning the water system, the impurity water does not allow to go into the dry-type evaporator. Please turn off the inlet valve of your air cooled screw chiller, and turn on the outlet valve when cleaning the water system. Before adjusting the air cooled screw chiller, TopChiller personnel have to regularly check the chiller unit and accessories to ensure unit quality. The controller of air cooled screw chiller also has self-diagnosis, energy management; anti-freeze and operating mode automatic control abilities. 3)Micro-computer and electrical control elements are brand products and imported from the world.

The evaporator performs under continued certain pressure and makes all the liquid evaporate. Its function is to compress the low-temperature gas into a high-temperature gas and then exchange heat with other media in the heat exchanger. In the first part, we have learned the basic working principle of air-cooled chillers, now let’s delve deeper into some key components of these cooling machines. In the modern industry, Air Cooled Chiller plays a significant role to provide a steady cooling source. But for big capacity air-cooled chiller models, we always use semi-hermetic screw-type compressors like Bitzer from Germany and Hanbell from Taiwan China. An air-cooled chiller is the best selling chiller at TopChiller, 80% of TopChiller products are air-cooled chillers. If noise levels of the chiller are acoustically unacceptable, noise control engineers will implement sound attenuators to reduce chiller noise levels. Larger chillers will typically require an array of sound attenuators sometimes known as a silencer bank. Demountable chillers are also an option for deployment in remote areas and where the conditions may be hot and dusty.

Daikin products are built on our core set of key technologies, which we can adapt for any climate need, at any scale. In doing so, Daikin sets the standard for economic and efficient air management solutions worldwide. Carrier was the first manufacturer to introduce non-ozonedepleting refrigerant — a full six years ahead of the competition — paving the way for the future. Once again, Carrier leads the way, being the first to use environmentally balanced refrigerant in air-cooled chillers. With solutions from 10 through 500 tons, screw or scroll, Carrier air-cooled chillers are the best choice for your needs. Nanjing RICOM Refrigeration Equipment Co., Ltd. air-cooled chillers are divided into air-cooled screw and scroll chillers. Air-cooled chillers can stabilize the molecular structure of electronic components on the production line in the electronics industry and improve the pass rate of electronic components.

Air cooled chillers work by piping a refrigerant through a condenser coil and blowing air through the coil in order to condense the refrigerant and dispel the heat into the atmosphere. The cooled refrigerant can then be sent back through to where the heat is being generated so as to continue its job of cooling. These coolants can in turn be used to cool various processes or my be used to cool and dehumidify air for air conditioning systems. Industrial air cooled chillers look like large air conditioning units, and are measured in terms of cooling capacity by tons, ranging from small, portable 1/4 ton units to over 1200 tons. Air cooled chillers vary in their condenser flow rates and evaporator flow rates, both of which are measured in gallons per minute, or gpm. Other specifications to look at include its power source, cooling capacity, fluid discharge temperature, compressor motor horsepower, and the range of ambient temperatures at which the chiller can operate.

Air cooled chillers are a common type of liquid chiller because they are simple to install, easy to maintain, and typically less expensive than water-cooled chillers and evaporation-cooled chillers. Air coolers eliminate the need for a cooling tower or condenser water pump, so they often take up less space than other types as well. However, air cooled chillers require more power to operate, typically consuming approximately 10% more power than a water cooled unit. This is because of the need for higher condensing temperatures (120° F to 140° F), combined with the fact that dry surfaces transfer heat less efficiently than wet surfaces. Since the heat from the process liquid is transferred into the air, air cooled chillers can be used strategically in systems in which the additional heat they discharge is beneficial. For instance, the hot air produced by air cooled chillers can be directed to help heat facilities during the winter. Air cooled chillers can be used for applications including troughs, tanks, nozzles, mixers, rolls, air coils and radiators, lasers, molds and dies, among others. This is a pristine Central Type Chiller System ideal for your plastics or other manufacturing operation. Arrived at KIG in December 2015 was this super nice Carrier Aquasnap 35 ton Air Cooled Chiller. Unit was completely run and tested at our 13,000 square foot facility prior to shipping, and offered with money back guarantee.

The cooling process begins when water enters the evaporator from the primary return where heat is transferred from the water to the refrigerant. With over 50 years of collective experience in the refrigeration industry, G&D’s Chiller expertise goes far beyond the design and implementation of cutting edge glycol chilling systems. Many of the leading breweries, wineries, distilleries, agriculture & food, dairy, and industrial manufacturers here in the USA and around the world, turn to us for innovative Glycol Chillers. Cost – Water-cooled chillers tend to be more expensive upfront because they take more time to install and require extra parts, such as cooling towers and additional fluid plumbing. However, many companies find the energy savings and extended lifespan worth the initial investment. Energy efficiency – The lower refrigerant condensing temperature and pressure help water-cooled chillers operate efficiently.

TopChiller® air-cooled screw chillers have been serving the printing industry for years. The air-cooled screw chiller is suitable for areas where the water source is located in a tight area. What’s more, the company managers do not need to hire workers to install the cooling tower, pumps, and pipes. Therefore, there are screw compressors for both kinds of chillers. Air-cooled screw chillers usually use either electronic expansion valves or thermostatic expansion valves . The condenser coils are usually made of copper tubes and aluminum fins and are assembled in the form of W to offer a larger heat exchange surface. Oil separators in TopChillerr® air-cooled screw chillers are smaller in size and fewer moving parts, which make them more effective in the removal of oils in the refrigerant and also lower in terms of failure rates. For air-cooled screw chiller, we are using Hanbell brand or Bitzer brand semi-hermetic screw-type compressors.

Arrived at KIG in January 2016 were these three immaculate Donaldson 10 ton Air Cooled Chillers. The European designed units are wonderfully engineered, and can run in low ambient conditions as well as high ambient conditions. They are also suitable for Glycol fluid chilling in the 28°F range, but equally as fine for your industrial cooling application too. Units are 460 volt 3 phase power, and were run and tested thoroughly in our shop prior to shipping. Arrived at KIG in April 2017 were these 2 never used surplus Dual Compressor 6 ton Riedel Air Cooled Chillers. Unit is wonderfully engineered, and although not intended to be out in the elements and precipitation, it has enhanced hi/low ambient, so it can run in -4°F to 106°F ambient conditions.

One pump circulates the chiller’s evaporator to keep the chiller’s internal tank at the target set point temperature. The other pump pulls out of the chiller’s internal reservoir, circulates to your downstream application, and returns back to the chiller’s internal reservoir. This is a single condenser system that can contain up to two circuits. The expansion valve holds back the refrigerant and maintains the high pressure of the condenser. Inside the expansion valve, a small orifice allows a restricted amount of refrigerant to continue to flow. As it flows through this restriction it reaches the low pressure side of the valve. This sudden pressure drop allows the refrigerant to expand from a liquid into a liquid/vapour mixture. The same amount of refrigerant flows through, it just has more space so it expands to fill this gap. Energy cost remains a major consideration in any powered equipment. While the chiller has direct impact on energy usage, there are other factors to consider.
