A chiller, explained in some professional books in the industry, is a machine that achieves refrigeration through vapor compression or absorption cycle. It can be seen that its main function is refrigeration.
There are many things in our daily life that need to use refrigeration equipment, such as refrigerators, air conditioners and so on. The water cooler we just mentioned is used in the air conditioner. In fact, we are inseparable from these refrigeration equipment in our life, because it has brought a lot of help to our life, and its existence affects our life all the time.
In air conditioning systems, chilled water is usually distributed to heat exchangers or cooling coils. In air handling units, cooling water is cooled by redistribution. These cooling coils transfer sensible and latent heat, forming Cooling dehumidified air flow. The chilled water temperature range depends on our specific application needs.
Of course, in addition to the many uses of chillers in life, it is also a good hand in industrial production. It has made outstanding contributions to many industries. Today, let’s have a general understanding of the uses and effects of chillers in the industrial field.
In industrial applications, industrial chillers are used in all walks of life to control the cooling of products, mechanisms and plant machinery. They are commonly used in injection and blow molding processes in the plastics industry, metalworking cutting oils, welding equipment, die casting and machining, chemical processing, pharmaceutical formulation, food and beverage processing, papermaking, cement processing, vacuum systems, power supply and power generation stations, analytical equipment, semiconductors, compressed air and gas cooling, etc.
In industrial applications, the chiller can also be used centrally, that is, the chiller can be optimized in the form of multiple compressors working in parallel. applications, it can also be equipped with its own refrigerator. Of course each approach has its own advantages and it is also possible to have a combination of central and decentralized chillers, especially when cooling requirements are the same for certain applications or using integrals, but this is not the whole case.
