When refrigeration equipment began to become more popular, we found that most people easily confused household ice bath machines with low-power industrial chillers.
Below I will explain the difference between industrial chillers and ice bath machines from the following points.
First of all, let us take a look at the mechanism of industrial chillers. Our previous articles also have detailed introductions. Interested friends can go to our previous articles to take a look.
The cooling effect of the chiller is the result of the work of the refrigerant and the compressor. Simply put, it is the coolant takes away heat from the object to be cooled. The heat taken away from the object also means that the temperature of the coolant rises. Then the coolant with heat circulates inside the chiller, and then the heat is brought to the fins through the action of the compressor. condenser, and then dissipated to the outside air by the cooling fan.
If a water-cooled chiller is used, the water is circulated to the cooling tower and then cooled, without dissipating heat through the air.
But when using an ice bath machine, the cooling function is generated by exchanging heat between the refrigerant and the air. The chilled air is generated by the refrigerant without using any liquid (such as circulating fluid), similar to the air of an industrial chiller. Cold water chillers do not require water circulation like water-cooled chillers.
The operating principle of the ice bath machine is not much different from that of the industrial chiller. The difference in performance between industrial chillers and ice bath machines is obvious.
Ice bath machines are generally used to cool small swimming pools. As a home machine, the noise is relatively small, and the technology is more mature in terms of family adaptability. However, the ice bath machine cannot cool large-area open pools such as large swimming pools, and the power Also relatively small.
Industrial chillers can not only cool molds, but also open pools. There are a variety of powers to choose from. However, compared with ice bath machines, chillers are noisier, and the functions of chillers are more suitable for use in industrial production. It has higher adaptability in industry.
The appearance design of industrial chillers is relatively small, and the overall appearance is relatively simple, mainly so that workers in industrial production can quickly become familiar with the equipment and usage methods, so there is no need for overly complicated or exquisite designs.
The appearance of the ice bath machine is smaller and more exquisite than the industrial water chiller, which is convenient for home use and more suitable for the home environment.
The above is the difference between industrial chillers and ice bath machines. I hope this article can better help you choose the refrigeration machine that suits you. If you are interested in our industrial chillers, you can also contact us and we will contact you as soon as possible reply to you.
