What is a chiller ?
What is a Chiller? Industrial water chillers are used in a variety of applications where chilled water or liquid are circulated through process equipment. Commonly used to cool products and machinery, water chillers are used in a multitude of different applications including injection molding, tool and die cutting, food and beverage, chemicals, lasers, machine tool, semi-conductors and more. The function of an industrial chiller is to move heat from one location (usually process equipment or product) to another place (usually the air outside the manufacturing facility). It is very common to use water or a water/glycol solution to transfer the heat to and from the chiller which may require the process chiller to have a reservoir and pumping system. Regardless of your industry and process, making sure that you have sufficient cooling is critical to productivity and cost savings. Industrial chillers are one type of chillers, and chillers can be divided into air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers. Water chiller is a kind of water cooling equipment, which can provide constant temperature, constant current and constant pressure cooling equipment. The principle of the chiller is to inject a certain amount of water into the internal water tank of the machine, and the water is cooled by the chiller refrigeration system, and then a water pump inside the machine injects low-temperature frozen water into the equipment that needs to be cooled, and the chilled water will heat the internal heat of the machine. Take it away and return the high-temperature hot water to the water tank to cool down again. In this way, it is circulated and exchanged and cooled to achieve the effect of cooling the equipment. In industrial applications, chilled water or other liquid cooling pumps are passed through processes or laboratory equipment. Industrial chillers are used in various industries to control the cooling of products, mechanisms and factory machinery. They are commonly used in injection and blow molding in the plastics industry, metal processing cutting oils, welding equipment, die-casting and machining, chemical processing, pharmaceutical formulation, food and beverage processing, paper making, cement processing, vacuum systems, X-ray diffraction, electric power Supply and power stations, analytical equipment, semiconductors, compressed air and gas cooling. They are also used to cool high heat energy, such as MRI machines and laser specialized engineering projects, and in hospitals, hotels and campuses. The chillers for industrial applications can be centralized, and each chiller can meet multiple needs for cooling, or be dispersed in each application or device with its own chiller. Each method has its advantages. It may also have a combination of central and decentralized chillers, especially when the cooling requirements are the same for certain applications or use points, but not all. Distributed chillers have a small area (cooling capacity) usual...
