6TR AIR COOLED PROCESS CHILLER

Product Description

A 6TR (6 Ton Refrigeration) air-cooled process chiller is a refrigeration system that uses air to cool the refrigerant and maintain a stable temperature for industrial processes. It typically involves a compressor, condenser, expansion valve, and evaporator, with the condenser rejecting heat to the surrounding air. These chillers are often used in applications where the excess heat generated isn't a significant issue, such as in manufacturing or other industrial settings. 

Here's a more detailed breakdown:

Key Components and Functionality:

• Refrigerant: The refrigerant absorbs heat from the process fluid and carries it to the condenser. 
• Compressor: Compresses the refrigerant vapor, increasing its temperature and pressure. 
• Condenser: Releases the heat from the compressed refrigerant to the surrounding air. 
• Expansion Valve: Reduces the pressure of the liquid refrigerant, causing it to cool. 
• Evaporator: The cooled refrigerant absorbs heat from the process fluid, chilling it. 
• Air-Cooled Condenser: Uses fans to blow air over the condenser coils, facilitating heat transfer to the atmosphere. 
• Temperature Control: A control system regulates the flow of chilled water based on the cooling requirements of the process. 

Typical Applications:

• Plastic and Rubber Industry: Used to control the temperature of molds and maintain consistent product quality.
• Metal Working: Provides cooling for machinery and processes, preventing overheating and ensuring precision.
• Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industries: Maintains precise temperatures for chemical reactions and product storage.
• Food and Beverage Processing: Used for cooling products and maintaining hygienic conditions.
• Laser and Electronics Industries: Essential for temperature-sensitive processes and equipment. 

Advantages of Air-Cooled Chillers:

• Lower Installation Cost: Generally less expensive to install than water-cooled chillers due to the absence of cooling towers and plumbing.
• Reduced Water Consumption: Don't require a continuous water supply for cooling, making them suitable for areas with water scarcity.
• Simpler Maintenance: Fewer components and simpler systems can result in easier maintenance. 

Considerations:

• Ambient Temperature:

The effectiveness of an air-cooled chiller can be affected by high ambient temperatures, as it relies on the surrounding air for heat dissipation. 

• Location:

Air-cooled chillers are typically located outdoors or in well-ventilated areas to ensure proper airflow for heat rejection.
