How to select and design with industrial low temperature chiller unit | Hstarschiller.com

 Recently, when communicating with some customers, we found that we were not very clear about the type selection and system design of low temperature units. However, the low temperature chiller is a very important equipment for chemical industry, raw material pharmaceutical factory and other enterprises, and it is also the place with the largest energy consumption for such enterprises. Therefore, how to select the appropriate number of industrial low temperature chiller and design a reasonable frozen water circulation system is particularly important.


low temperature chiller


There is an example on H.Stars Group project reference.To us, the key points of glycol chiller design ,take the recent project of Anhui Xiangbang Chemical Co., Ltd. as an example, the total cooling capacity demand of the enterprise is 1500kW, and the outlet water temperature is required to be - 15 ℃. According to the experience, the following three points are sorted out for your reference:


industrial low temperature chiller design


1、 Selection of the number of refrigerating units
It is very important to select the type of low temperature chiller and design the system
Choose 3 industrial low temperature chiller , why choose multiple low-temperature refrigeration units more safe and reliable and energy-saving?
1. Affected by the production process arrangement and outdoor temperature, the actual cooling capacity required for production varies greatly, and the most used load in a year is about 70% according to experience;
2. If there is only one low-temperature chiller unit, there will be a big horse pulling the car, the corresponding water pump and cooling tower power is also large, resulting in high operating costs and high production costs;
3. If three units are selected, only two units can meet the requirements most of the time, and the operation cost is the lowest. In addition, one unit is automatically used as standby unit, so the system is very safe and reliable.

2、 Selection of low temperature water chiller
It's better to choose evaporative low-temperature chiller, because the energy efficiency of this kind of chiller is much higher than that of screw chiller, and it's very energy-saving.
1. In the case of the same evaporation temperature, reducing the refrigerant condensation temperature is the best way to improve the efficiency of the refrigeration unit, and the evaporative refrigeration unit is to send the refrigerant directly to the condenser for cooling, without the conduction of cooling water medium, the condensation temperature can be reduced by 4 ℃. The condensing temperature of conventional low temperature unit is 40 ℃, the condensing temperature of evaporative cooling unit is 36 ℃, and the energy saving is 12%.
2. Less cooling pump, 3% energy saving. Therefore, the evaporative low temperature unit can save 15% energy.

3、 Design of freezing water circulation system

The freezing water adopts a double circulation system, with a 30% flow storage tank, which is divided into high and low temperature zones. The chilled water internal circulation pump pumps water from the high temperature zone of the buffer pool to the chiller for refrigeration, and then returns to the low temperature zone of the buffer pool as the internal circulation system. The process water circulating pump pumps water from the low temperature zone of the buffer pool to the end reaction kettle to cool the production materials, and then returns to the high temperature zone of the buffer pool as the external circulation system. The external circulation pump is designed with frequency conversion control to save energy.

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...
