Industrial Water Cooled Chiller

What Is An Industrial Water-Cooled Water Chiller

In industrial production, many devices generate a large amount of heat due to factors such as high-speed operation and friction. If the heat is too high, the working efficiency of mechanical equipment cannot be improved. Industrial water-cooled chillers are specifically designed to address the issue of equipment overheating. It can absorb the heat of the equipment and discharge it into the atmosphere through the chilled water circulation system. So as to maintain the normal working performance of industrial equipment.

In addition to cooling down the equipment, the industrial water-cooled chiller system can also incidentally reduce the temperature and humidity inside the workshop. In factories with high temperatures in summer, water-cooled chillers can still play an additional role. Keep your workshop in a relatively dry and comfortable environment.

The Advantages of Industrial Water-Cooled Chillers

Large Cooling Capacity

ChillerOne’s industrial water-cooled water chillers cover a full range of cooling capacities from 2 tons to 250 tons. Whether it’s local cooling in a workshop or continuous cooling of an entire production line, industrial water-cooled chillers are undoubtedly capable of handling all these tasks. For instance, in injection molding workshops for high-temperature molds and in power plants for cooling circulating water, water-cooled water chillers can handle heavy heat loads without breaking down due to overload.

Save Energy Consumption

When using water chillers in industry, power consumption must be taken into consideration. Industrial electricity consumption is also a considerable expense. The heat capacity of water is much higher than that of air, and our industrial water-cooled chiller adopts stainless steel/copper brazed plate heat exchangers. The heat exchange efficiency is extremely high. When running for the same period of time, this water-cooled chiller consumes less energy. In the long run, choosing a water-cooled industrial chiller system brings significant economic benefits.

It Occupies A Small Area

No matter the size of your factory building, the chiller is not your production-related equipment, so it’s best to be as small as possible. Most water-cooled water chillers used in industry are of the shell and tube type or the casing type. The structure is compact. Compared with traditional models, the pipeline layout has been optimized, and the integration of the main unit and the water tank is high. Even in a small workshop, it can be placed in any corner.

Low Operating Noise

If your workshop has a demand for quietness, an industrial chilled water system may better meet your needs than an air-cooled chiller. The noise from water-cooled chillers used in industry is only from the water pump and the compressor. Moreover, we have adopted silent fans and shock-absorbing bases, further reducing the noise during operation.

It Can Adapt to Extreme Working Conditions

The water cooling system can be equipped with closed cooling towers, municipal water, underground circulating water, etc., to provide stable cooling media. Moreover, the market for the recycling of hot wastewater discharged from water-cooling systems is also large and can be recycled.  It can adapt to harsher environments. In dry and high-temperature places, air-cooled types are prone to malfunction.

Stable Temperature

When it comes to precision processing and chemical reactions, the fluctuation of water temperature is the most troublesome. The temperature control range of the industrial water-cooled chiller we produce is from 7°C to 35°C, with high temperature regulation accuracy. You need to cool the precision tools at 15°C or maintain the reaction vessel environment at 30 °C. Once set, it can be stabilized. The temperature fluctuation is small, so the quality of the products produced by your equipment is more consistent. It saves you the time and cost of rework.

How to Choose An Industrial Water-Cooled Chiller That Suits Your Industry

Look at Energy Efficiency

You bought an industrial water-cooled chiller and have been using it for several years. Just like the refrigerator at home, you can refer to the parameter table. Give priority to choosing energy efficiency level one or two. Long-term operation can save a considerable amount of electricity bills.

Look at The Control System

If your process requirements are strict, you should choose those equipped with PLC or intelligent temperature control. Choose those with small temperature fluctuations, such as within ±0.5℃. In this way, the products you produce will be of high quality; otherwise, they will be of mixed quality

Calculate The Total Cycle Cost

If you only focus on the initial procurement costs, you won’t be able to save much money. Cheap water-cooled chillers may have high installation costs or expensive accessories. You can add up the purchase price, pipeline renovation, and later maintenance to calculate. It’s more cost-effective to choose the one with a lower overall cost.

Cooling Capacity Matching

It is a wise choice to select the one with the best cost performance within your reasonable budget. If you calculate based on the maximum heat load of the process, just leave a margin of 10% to 15%. If the calculation is appropriate, purchasing a small water-cooled chiller will not delay production.

How to Improve The Efficiency of Industrial Water-Cooled Chillers

If you purchase an industrial water-cooled chiller, you can start from the following points to improve its cooling efficiency:

Install A Frequency Converter

After you install a frequency converter on the unit, the variable frequency water-cooled chiller can automatically adjust the compressor speed according to the real-time load. It can automatically operate at a reduced frequency under light load, unlike traditional units that always run at full power. Especially when the temperature difference between day and night is large or your production temperature fluctuates, variable frequency chillers will be quite energy-efficient and improve efficiency.

Multi-Machine Parallel Operation

When purchasing an industrial chiller, you can buy two to three medium-power devices in parallel instead of using one high-power chiller. Your order can be fully opened during peak hours, and only one unit will be retained during off-peak hours. This will bring you a pleasant surprise and be more efficient than a chiller.

Raise the water temperature

If the outlet water temperature is appropriately raised by two or three degrees, the condensing pressure of the chiller will drop accordingly. Meanwhile, when the water temperature rises, the water vapor in the air is less likely to condense on the surface of the heat exchanger. With less dehumidification demand, fans and drainage pumps can also consume less energy. The heat exchange efficiency will be higher.

Clean The Heat Exchanger Frequently

You can stop the machine once in a while and use a special cleaning agent to rinse the condenser fins to remove dust and scale. Don’t let the evaporator water pipe leak either. If the scale is thick, the water flow will be slow, and the heat exchange effect will be poor.
