Tips for seasonal water chiller system shutdown in winter | Hstarschiller.com

 Introduction: Winter is coming, and the ambient temperature is about to drop below zero. This will cause great damage to the chillers, water pumps, cooling towers, terminals and other equipment. In order to ensure that chillers work normally during winter, the chiller has to survive in the low temperature environment, because it will cause a great loss to users if the unit is not maintained with proper seasonal shutdown.


First of all, when those chillers are not going to turn on during winter for seasonal shutdown, water among chillers, pipes, pumps, cooling towers and terminals must be drained out clean in advance when the ambient temperature is below zero.

How are we going to do for the water chiller HVAC system shutdown in winter ?

Here are the tips below for seasonal water chiller system shutdown in winter how to drain out the water from HVAC system.


water chiller HVAC system


1. Shell and Tube Condenser: Open the end cap of the water pipe.  After opening, pay attention to the end cover and screws. Install the end cover and screws before starting the next year. (Remember: Do not do this for evaporator drainage!!!)


Industrial Falling Film Shell And Tube Evaporator


2. Shell and Tube Evaporator: You can open the drain valve under the evaporator to drain the water. It is best to keep the drain valve normally open in winter, and turn off the water supply before turning on at the next year.

3. Pipes and pumps: Drain water at the lowest point of pipes and pumps.


Square Cooling Tower Draining Position


4.Square type Cooling tower: Open the drain valve at the lowest part of the cooling tower  water tray to drain the chassis water. It is best to be in the normally open state during different periods.


Water Cooled Chiller Terminal Drain Valve


5.End: There is a drain valve at the lowest end of the coil, and the drain valve is also opened. Leave the drain valve open during winter.



What methods should we take to avoid damages to chillers?

During the day or night period of non-use, the pump must be kept running, and the water must be drained if it is not used for a long time. In case of severe weather (the temperature is lower than -10℃), it is the best to shut down and drain the water, or add antifreeze material into to the water.

Constant Temperature Swimming Pool Heat Pump Unit | Hstarschiller.com

  We all know that winter swimming has many advantages: 1. It can enhance cardiovascular function. 2. The stimulation of cold water can close the peripheral blood vessels, increase the blood supply of important organs such as heart, brain, liver and spleen, so that more oxygen can be delivered to brain cells in time, which is conducive to the elimination of nervous system fatigue. 3. The skin of those who insist on winter swimming is ruddy, shiny and elastic. And people also hope to enjoy the fun of swimming in winter, but not everyone can bear it.  Hstars group constant temperature swimming pool heat pump  can be a good solution. 1. Demand analysis of swimming pool with constant temperature Constant temperature swimming pool, also known as indoor constant temperature swimming pool; that is, the temperature of the water in the pool heating system is maintained at 26~28℃, which is suitable for the temperature of the human body. When the indoor swimming pool is designed, th...

How to design a water chiller system with AHU for pharmaceutical factory workshop | Hstarschiller.com

  Nowadays, it’s become more and more aware of pharmaceutical enterprises to realize the significance of building an efficient and green to environment cooling system in the factory, because it can not only help the owner to save the running cost but also contribute to the society by reducing the emissions, especially for those developed countries .

Project address: one of the pharmaceutical factories located in China Project desire: Requesting a constant temperature with humidity for oral solid preparation workshop Proje...

Where are water-cooled chillers used? What is a chiller used for?

  Water-cooled chiller   is a cooling water device that can provide constant temperature, constant current and constant pressure. A chiller is a machine that achieves refrigeration through vapor compression or absorption cycles. These liquids can flow through heat exchangers to cool the air or equipment. The industrial chiller can always output ice water with a lower temperature than the ambient temperature. It can be used wherever cooling is required, either direct cooling or indirect heat exchange. The main components of a water-cooled chiller are compressor, condenser, evaporator, water pump, and water tank. Chillers have a wide range of applications. The chiller can be used to cool the injection mold, improve the quality of plastic products, cool the vacuum coating, control the temperature of the vacuum coating machine, cool the food industry, fast cooling processing, chemical industry, effectively control the temperature of chemicals, cooling buildings, concrete fast Cool...
