I often hear complaints from people in the industry about how to choose a chiller. After comparing the chiller solutions of two or three companies, I feel that they are similar, but the prices are thousands of miles apart!
If the choice is not good, either the cooling effect is not ideal, or energy is wasted, and there will be other problems. Therefore, it is really necessary for enterprise producers to understand the basic selection knowledge of chillers.
How to choose the optimal chiller solution for the production of enterprises, the following 6 aspects are sorted out for you.
1. What is the temperature difference you need?
For example, how much material do you need and how long does it take to cool down to what degree? It is an important reference for us to choose the right chiller type for you. We have a customer who requires 40T materials to drop from 48 degrees to 15 degrees within 1.5 to 2 hours. This requirement is the key information for model selection. For this reason, our professional technicians have equipped the customer with a cooling capacity of 960KW and The combined chiller scheme of the circular water tower not only achieves the ideal cooling effect, but also saves energy to a certain extent.
2. Consider the solution with the least energy consumption
If you are a large-scale industrial chiller, you should pay attention to the energy consumption and choose a chiller scheme that comprehensively utilizes electricity, heat, and cold, such as a water-cooled screw heat recovery unit, which can recover the originally wasted condensation heat to achieve cooling, heating, etc. Dual functions can not only achieve the best cooling effect, but also save energy and reduce emissions.
3. Do chillers need to work together?
See if your business needs multiple chillers for production, such as cold storage, which requires stable and continuous cooling. When a chiller fails, other chillers need to work instead. According to the production situation of your enterprise, explain it to the manufacturer.
4. Are there any requirements for environmental protection?
The operation of the chiller will also cause some environmental problems, such as whether the refrigerant is poisonous, whether the operating noise is loud, and whether it will affect the surrounding environment of the enterprise. When selecting the type of chiller, the requirements in this regard must be clearly explained to the manufacturer.
5. Cooling water quality requirements
The water quality of the cooling water will affect the cleanliness of the pipeline, especially the evaporator. Poor cooling water quality will accelerate the scaling and corrosion of the pipeline, resulting in the blockage and damage of the evaporator. Please inform the manufacturer when selecting the model.
6. Other special requirements such as explosion-proof and vibration
Chillers often work under harsh conditions and often come into contact with special substances such as flammable dust and explosive gases, so the company's requirements for explosion-proof and vibration-proof will also increase. At this time, it is necessary to consult the relevant technical personnel of the company, the working environment of the chiller Whether it is a flammable and explosive occasion, consult with the chiller manufacturer, whether the chiller can be treated as explosion-proof, what is the explosion-proof level, and the most suitable chiller scheme that matches the comprehensive cooling demand.
