What are the types of chiller evaporators | Oumalchiller.com

 The evaporator is one of the main components of industrial chillers. The types of evaporators include: tank with coil evaporator, shell and tube evaporator, stainless steel plate heat exchanger, titanium tube evaporator. With so many types of evaporators, how should we choose the appropriate type of evaporator for our chiller?

types of chiller evaporator

Water tank coil evaporator: The evaporator is a coil type structure placed in the water tank. The coil-type evaporator of Omar Refrigeration is made as follows: According to the size of the chiller required by the customer, the copper pipes are coiled in a circle, and then the coil-type evaporator is put into the built-in water tank of the box-type chiller. In this way, the refrigerant in the copper pipe can absorb the heat of the water. The water tank coil evaporator is relatively simple to manufacture. The cost is relatively low. Generally, small water chillers use water tank coil type evaporators.


Shell and tube evaporator: Shell and tube evaporator is the most widely used in screw chillers, and different materials can be selected according to different water quality requirements. For example, the middle tube can be 316 stainless steel or copper tube, or nickel white copper, and the outer shell can be carbon steel or 316 stainless steel. The shell and tube evaporator has compact structure, convenient operation and management, and high heat transfer coefficient. The disadvantage is that the refrigerant charge is large, and when the evaporation temperature is lower than 0 degrees, it is easy to freeze and damage the evaporation tube.


Stainless steel plate heat exchanger: As one of the commonly used heat exchange equipment in heat exchangers, stainless steel plate heat exchangers have certain advantages. They can be used in food, heating, domestic hot water, waste heat recovery and other fields. The data displayed by the heat exchange equipment shows that the stainless steel plate heat exchanger has a better heat exchange effect than carbon steel, and it also prolongs the service life. Stainless steel plate heat exchangers are generally divided into 316L and 304 materials. 304 stainless steel plate heat exchanger has a wide range of uses, such as corrosion resistance, heat resistance, mechanical properties, and low temperature strength. The use temperature can be (-196℃-800℃). When customers of general chillers have requirements for water quality, we will generally equip chillers with stainless steel plate heat exchangers in the choice of evaporator.


Titanium tube evaporator: The titanium tube is light in weight, high in strength, and superior in mechanical properties. When the chiller is used with corrosive liquids, such as acidic liquids, we need to use a titanium tube evaporator. For example, in the electroplating industry, the electroplating solution is highly corrosive. If the chiller directly cools the electroplating solution, a titanium tube evaporator is required. , Titanium tube evaporator is also commonly used in fish pond chillers.


After reading the main features and uses of various evaporators, do you know how to choose the right evaporator type for your chiller? If you don’t know, please contact us and tell us where your chiller is used and the type of liquid that needs to be cooled. Oumal‘s professional engineers will choose the most suitable evaporator for your water chiller systems.

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...
