How to reduce the initial investment and operation cost of low-temperature chiller for chemical plants

 Nowadays, chemical plants always consider how to reduce the initial investment and operation cost when they need to install a  low-temperature chiller system for the factory. Because low temperature refrigeration unit is a very important equipment in chemical plant, which plays an important role in safety production. The initial investment of low-temperature refrigeration unit is large, and it is also one of the equipment with large energy consumption in chemical plant. How to reduce the investment and operation cost of Glycol low temperature chiller and system is very important for enterprises.


low-temperature chiller unit


This is one of H.Stars Group projects for one of the chemical base . The cryogenic unit and chilled water circulation system are designed and implemented .At first, the company's design engineers only chose the Ultra low temperature chiller and system design according to the cooling capacity required by customers. However, with the deepening of the project, H.Stars Group has found that the project can reduce the amount of chiller assembly by recycling the cooling capacity, so as to reduce the initial investment and operating costs.


low-temperature refrigeration unit


This is a low-temperature crystallization chemical project. The whole process is heating up first and then cooling down to obtain different chemical products. The next stage of process cooling is completed by low-temperature refrigeration unit, and then the crystalline finished solution is separated by centrifuge. The separated low-temperature solution is cooled again in the previous process (called tank B) to obtain another product. However, because the volume of tank B is limited, it is necessary to supplement low-temperature water to obtain the desired product in tank B.


Glycol low temperature chiller factory


In this process, H.Stars Group has designed an external heat exchanger to be added to fully exchange the heat between the high-temperature mixture entering the tank B and the low-temperature solution, fully absorb the cold capacity of the low-temperature solution, and then enter the tank B to crystallize to form the product, thus greatly reducing the cost of low-temperature preparation cooling capacity of chiller unit.


Through such a change, the low-temperature chiller unit needed 1800kW before, but now it only needs 1300kW, and the investment cost and operation cost have been reduced by about 25%, which has brought great value to the enterprise. At the same time, H.Stars Group also realize that it is particularly important to fully understand the production process of customers for the selection of refrigeration equipment, which not only reduces the initial investment cost, but also greatly reduces the operation cost, bringing great value to customers.

H.Stars Group has rich experience in the design and selection of low temperature chiller unit, and 28 years of professional experience has won constant praise in the field of cryogenic chemical industry.

Avoid Downtime, Cut Costs: Smart Maintenance for Smarter Chillers

  Screw water-cooled chillers   typically operate around 3,000 hours per year, depending on China's climate and geographical conditions. Regular and scientific maintenance is crucial to ensure long-term, reliable operation, extend the lifespan, and reduce operating costs. Maintenance and Upkeep Preventive maintenance during operation and inspection involves creating annual and monthly maintenance plans based on actual operating conditions. Shutdown Procedures In winter, clean and dry the unit. Open the drain valve to empty the  shell-and-tube heat exchanger  to avoid freezing. The shutdown sequence is: chiller off - cooling tower fan off - cooling water pump off - chilled water pump off. Special attention to anti-freezing: 1. Drain the evaporator and condenser if the unit is outdoors below 0°C during standby. 2. Interlock the water flow switch with the unit to prevent freezing when the chilled water flow switch malfunctions. 3. Ensure water in the evaporator is flowi...

Hotels Go Green: Heat Recovery Chillers Cut Costs and Carbon Footprints

  In the operation of hotels, energy costs are a significant factor that cannot be overlooked. The advent of   heat recovery chillers   offers an efficient and energy-saving solution for hotels. ​ A heat recovery chiller, in simple terms, not only performs cooling tasks but also effectively recovers heat. For hotels, this is a highly practical feature. Traditional chillers only accomplish cooling, wasting the heat generated. However, heat recovery chillers are different; they can convert the otherwise wasted heat into usable hot water. In principle, during the cooling cycle of a chiller, the refrigerant releases heat. Heat recovery chillers use special devices to collect this heat, and through a series of heat exchange processes, they can produce hot water. This hot water can be used in various scenarios within the hotel. For example, it can supply water for guest rooms' washing and brushing, provide hot water for the hotel's restaurant kitchen, and even be used for heati...

What Are the Key Requirements for Flooded-Type Heat Exchangers in Air Suspension Chillers

  Air suspension chillers   are crucial in many industrial and commercial applications, and the flooded-type heat exchanger is one of the most important components of these systems. Understanding the requirements of the heat exchanger is essential to ensuring the air suspension units operate efficiently and remain stable. A flooded-type heat exchanger works by transferring heat between two fluids with different temperatures. In air suspension chillers, it helps regulate temperature, optimize energy use, and improve overall performance. For instance, it can transfer heat from high-temperature gases to low-temperature liquids, or vice versa. 1. Material Requirements 1.1 Corrosion Resistance In many industrial environments, fluids can be corrosive. For example, they may come into contact with acidic or alkaline substances. To withstand these conditions, the heat exchanger’s tubes and casing need to be made from corrosion-resistant materials, such as stainless steel. Stainless ste...
