5TR AIR COOLED PROCESS CHILLER

தயாரிப்பு விளக்கம்

A 5TR (5 Ton Refrigeration) air-cooled process chiller isa device that uses air to cool a fluid, typically water, for industrial or commercial applications.Its designed to remove heat from a process, maintaining a specific temperature for optimal equipment operation or product quality.The "5TR" designation indicates a cooling capacity equivalent to 5 tons of refrigeration.

Key Features and Components:

• Air-Cooled Condenser:

The condenser uses ambient air to dissipate heat from the refrigerant, eliminating the need for a separate cooling tower.

• Compressor:

Compresses the refrigerant vapor, increasing its temperature and pressure.

• Evaporator:

The refrigerant expands and cools, absorbing heat from the process fluid (water).

• Refrigerant:

A substance that absorbs and releases heat during the cooling cycle (e.g., R22, R407C, R410A).

• Piping and Valves:

Circulate the refrigerant and process fluid.

• Control Panel:

Monitors and regulates the chillers operation, including temperature, pressure, and safety parameters.

• Optional Components:

May include pumps for circulating the process fluid, tanks for fluid storage, and various safety features.

• Typical Applications:

Plastic and rubber industries, metal working, chemical and pharmaceutical, food and beverage, laser and electronics, textile, electroplating, semiconductor testing, and more.

Working Principle:

1. 1.Compression:

The compressor increases the pressure and temperature of the refrigerant vapor.

2. 2.Condensation:

The hot, high-pressure refrigerant passes through the air-cooled condenser, where it releases heat to the surrounding air and condenses into a high-pressure liquid.

3. 3.Expansion:

The high-pressure liquid refrigerant passes through an expansion valve, reducing its pressure and temperature.

4. 4.Evaporation:

The low-pressure refrigerant enters the evaporator, where it absorbs heat from the process fluid and evaporates into a low-pressure vapor.

5. 5.Repeat:

The low-pressure vapor returns to the compressor, and the cycle repeats.

Advantages of Air-Cooled Chillers:

• Ease of Installation:

Air-cooled chillers are generally easier to install than water-cooled chillers, as they dont require a separate cooling tower.

• Lower Maintenance:

Air-cooled chillers have fewer components compared to water-cooled chillers, potentially leading to lower maintenance requirements.

• Suitable for various environments:

Air-cooled chillers can be used in a wide range of environments, including those where water is scarce or where water quality is a concern
