What Is an Air Cooled Chiller?

In the chiller manufacturing industry, the air cooled chiller is a relatively popular one.

It is convenient and convenient. It does not need to be connected to a water tower, nor does it need to be installed manually. It can be used directly by connecting it to the electricity, and it can be used normally when it is placed in a well-ventilated place. Because of its convenient features, many customers will choose air-cooled chillers to use. .

There are also types of air cooled chillers, screw- air-cooled chillers and plate-for-air-cooled chillers.

Air cooled chillers

The refrigeration principle of the air cooled chiller for sale is to use the evaporator to exchange heat between water and refrigerant. Then it is lost to the outside air by the cooling fan.

The working principle of these chiller accessories has been mentioned in previous articles.

The biggest advantage of the air cooled chiller is its convenience and sustainable use of water resources. It uses air cooling, which saves the cooling tower, cooling water pump and piping system that are necessary for the cooling water system. It is easy to install and beneficial to the environment. Maintenance management reduces a lot of costs, and effectively avoids problems such as condenser scaling and water pipe blockage in areas with poor water quality, saving water resources.

Moreover, the air-cooled chiller is generally an integral machine, that is, the evaporator, compressor and condenser are integrated to save floor space.

The price of an air cooled chiller is generally more expensive than that of a water cooled chiller, but the cost of its annual operation will be much lower than that of a water-cooled chiller, and it also saves customers the cost of cleaning the water tower regularly, so in general, affected by the footprint and cooling tower, we recommend that customers choose air-cooled chillers.

Screw air-cooled chiller

The biggest difference between screw chillers and ordinary chillers is the compressor and evaporator. Screw chillers generally operate with screw compressors and shell-and-tube evaporators.

This type of chiller has a large power, and we generally recommend customers who require a large cooling capacity to purchase it.

Because the overall power of the screw chiller is large, the price is much higher than that of ordinary chillers, so we suggest that customers should put the machine in a place with a relatively clean environment, and the unit should be placed in a cool and ventilated place to dissipate heat in time. For air-cooled The screw chiller must ensure good ventilation around it, and pay attention to the maintenance of machine parts in normal times.

Plate exchange chiller

The plate exchange mainly refers to the heat exchanger in the chiller.

The components of this type of heat exchanger are small in size and light in weight. Its size and weight are one-fifth to one-sixth of the traditional tube heat exchanger, and During the operation of the chiller, it is not easy to cause damage due to freezing. The plate heat exchanger has more concave and convex surfaces. The circulating water maintains a turbulent state and is not easy to freeze. Even if there is partial freezing, it will not affect the use. Compared with the traditional Shell and tube evaporators can withstand greater pressure due to freezing.

Plate-exchange chillers are generally customized according to customer needs. If the customer's production environment or other factors require the use of plate-exchange chillers, our company provides customized services.

The above are several types of air-cooled chillers. Different products are suitable for chillers with different powers. Our company will provide free machine reference solutions according to customer conditions. Welcome to consult at any time.
