Process chiller

Product Description

A process chiller isa cooling system that removes heat generated during industrial processes by circulating a chilled fluid (like water or glycol) through a closed loop, maintaining a specific temperature for equipment or processes.

Here's a more detailed explanation:

• What it does:

Process chillers are designed to remove heat from industrial processes, ensuring equipment and materials stay within the required temperature range for optimal performance.

• How it works:

• A chilled fluid (often water or a water/glycol solution) is circulated through a closed loop.

• This fluid absorbs heat from the process or equipment.

• The heated fluid is then returned to the chiller, where it is cooled and recirculated.

• This process is repeated continuously, maintaining the desired temperature.

• Key Components:

• Chiller Unit:The heart of the system, responsible for cooling the fluid.

• Refrigerant Circuit:A closed loop containing a refrigerant that undergoes a thermodynamic cycle to absorb and release heat.

• Pumping System:Circulates the chilled fluid through the process and back to the chiller.

• Types of Chillers:

• Air-cooled:Use air to condense the refrigerant.

• Water-cooled:Use water to condense the refrigerant.

• Free Cooling:Utilize ambient air or water for cooling, depending on the temperature.

• Applications:

Process chillers are used in a wide range of industries, including:

• Pharmaceuticals.

• Food production.

• Petrochemicals.

• Plastic production.

• Metal plating.

• Agriculture.

• Brewing.

• Dairy.

• Medical applications.
