 How to measure brine concentration for the brine chiller ?

Saltwater brine chillers are also one of the more commonly used refrigeration equipment. Its refrigerant is the so-called brine solution, which has a low freezing point. It is especially suitable for medium and low temperature chillers to carry cold capacity. The temperature is generally required to be controlled at 0 Below ℃, it is usually used for the low-temperature requirements of some special production lines in the industry. So, what kind of harm will the improper proportion of brine-carrying refrigerant cause to the chiller and how to measure brine concentration for the brine chiller ?


brine chiller manufacturers



The refrigerant is an intermediate substance used to transfer the cold heat generated by the refrigerator to the object to be cooled or heated. Commonly used refrigerants include air, water, saltwater, organic compounds, and their aqueous solutions; when the outlet water temperature is 0°C, the commonly used water-borne refrigerants will be frozen. At this time, a suitable refrigerant must be selected, such as saltwater, Ethylene glycol, etc., the selection principle is first that the refrigerant in the heat exchanger does not be frozen.

Salt water carrier refrigerant use temperature and ratio mass concentration table




1. The salt water concentration is too high or too low.
If the brine concentration is increased and the specific heat is reduced, the power consumption of the chiller pump of the chiller will increase, and the relative cost will also increase; if the concentration is too small to reach the standard, this may cause the heat exchanger to freeze, the unit alarm can not work normally and affects normal production. Therefore, when we use salt water as the refrigerant carrier of the brine low-temperature chiller, we must pay attention to the ratio of the brine carrier refrigerant.

2. The corrosiveness of salt water to low-temperature chillers and pipelines.
If the oxygen content in the solution decreases, its corrosiveness to brine low temperature chillers and pipelines will slow down. Based on this, we can adopt a closed salt water system to reduce the principle of contact between salt water and air, so as to reduce the corrosion of low-temperature chillers and pipelines. In addition, you can also reduce the corrosiveness by adding preservatives to the salt water to make it have suitable acidity and alkalinity.

When the density of brine carrier refrigerant decreases.
The brine-carrying agent will absorb moisture in the air during use, which will reduce its concentration and cause the freezing point to rising. Therefore, in the process of using the brine cryogenic chiller, the density of the brine should be checked regularly. If the density appears To reduce the phenomenon, the amount of salt can be supplemented appropriately to maintain the concentration of brine.

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...

What are the differences between air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers | Oumalchiller.com

  We all know that according to different heat dissipation methods, chillers can be divided into air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers. What is the difference between air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers? ​ 1. The  air-cooled chiller  uses copper tubes and aluminum fins to dissipate heat from the condenser. A fan is required to blow the outdoor air through the heat exchange fins and take away the heat of the condenser, so the air-cooled chiller does not need to be connected to the cooling tower. But compared with water-cooled chillers, under the same power, air-cooled chillers have larger equipment size and higher noise. The condenser of water-cooled chillers exchanges heat with the cooling water from the cooling tower through the heat exchanger. The excess waste heat will be transported to the cooling tower through the cooling water loop and released into the atmosphere, or enter the water-water heat exchanger or soil heat exchange coil for storage. Ther...

What is difference between centrifugal chiller and screw chillers?

 Water Chillers are generally divided into the following categories: screw chillers, centrifugal chillers, water ring heat pump units, plate and tube evaporative condensing screw chillers, thermal storage air conditioners, etc. Screw chiller and centrifugal chiller are equipment that we often encounter. Below,  Oumal Refrigeration  will take you to understand the difference between centrifugal chiller and screw chiller? What is a  screw chiller ? The compressor adopts a screw type, hence the name screw chiller. The refrigerant coming out of the evaporator of the unit is a gas; after adiabatic compression by the compressor, it becomes a high-temperature and high-pressure state. The compressed gas refrigerant is isobarically cooled and condensed in the condenser. After condensation, it changes into liquid refrigerant, and then expands to low pressure through the throttle valve and becomes a gas-liquid mixture. The liquid refrigerant under low temperature and low pressu...
