A screw chiller, also known as a screw compressor chiller, is a type of water chiller utilized for cooling applications in various industries, including injection molding. The semi-hermetic screw compressor is the core components of a screw chiller.  It operates based on the principle of a rotary screw compressor, which is a positive displacement compressor. The screw compressor consists of two interlocking helical rotors that compress the refrigerant gas to raise its pressure and temperature.

According to different heat dissipation methods, screw chillers are divided into air-cooled screw chillers and water-cooled screw chillers. Under the same cooling capacity requirement, the purchase cost of water-cooled screw chillers is lower than that of air-cooled screw chillers. As far as chiller installation is concerned, air-cooled screw chillers are easier to install.

Here are some key features of a screw chiller:

Cooling capacity: Screw chillers are available in a wide range of cooling capacities to meet the specific requirements of injection molding machines. They can handle high cooling loads efficiently, making them suitable for industrial applications. Oumal screw water chiller cooling capacity from 100kw to 1000kw.

Air cooled screw chiller cooling capacity from 90kw to 600KW.

Energy efficiency: Screw chillers are known for their energy efficiency. They can achieve high cooling capacities while consuming relatively less electrical power compared to other types of chillers.

Temperature control: Screw chillers offer precise temperature control, allowing for stable and consistent cooling of the process water used in injection molding machines. This helps maintain the desired temperature for optimal molding conditions. Oumal screw chillers use Siemens PLC controller. Intelligent control, simple operation.

Reliability and durability: Screw chillers are robust and designed for continuous operation in demanding industrial environments. They are built with durable components and feature advanced control systems to ensure reliable and trouble-free performance.

Modular design: Many screw chillers have a modular design, which allows for easy scalability and flexibility. This means that multiple units can be combined to provide higher cooling capacity if needed, making them suitable for expanding operations or varying cooling requirements.

Advanced control options: Screw chillers often come with advanced control options, such as microprocessor-based controllers or touch screen interfaces. These controls provide intuitive operation, real-time monitoring, and the ability to set and adjust various parameters for optimal performance and energy savings.

Noise reduction: Screw chillers are designed with noise reduction features to minimize the operating noise levels. This is important in industrial settings where noise can be a concern.

Overall, screw chillers offer efficient and reliable cooling solutions for injection molding machines, helping to maintain consistent process temperatures and optimize the production of high-quality plastic parts.
