How to choose the right chiller in the food industry---CHILLER FOR FOOD INDUSTRY

The application of chillers is very wide, including plastic industry, chemical industry, packaging industry, printing industry, food industry, etc. Today we will talk about how to choose chillers in the food industry. The water chiller used in the food industry needs to be used for rapid cooling of all kinds of food after heating, so that it can be suitable for canning and bottling requirements. In addition, various fermented foods require different cooling temperatures to stabilize fermentation needs and improve fermented products. To ensure the quality of fermentation, it is also used in the pharmaceutical, chemical industry, and refrigeration equipment.

When choosing a chiller in the food industry, first consider the temperature of the chilled water required in the process, whether to use a medium-temperature chiller or a low-temperature chiller, and secondly, consider whether the cooling water needs to be in direct contact with the food? If it is to directly cool food, the place where the material of the chiller contacts water must be stainless steel or PVC. If it is to cool food indirectly, use an ordinary industrial chiller. In addition, add a detachable plate heat exchanger. If the temperature is lower than 5 degrees, the chiller is a low-temperature chiller, and ethylene glycol needs to be added to the cooling water. The chiller must indirectly cool the food. Another factor to consider in the chiller industry is the shell sheet metal of the chiller. Customers will require stainless steel sheet metal to make the chiller's chassis for easy cleaning. Therefore, when we select food chillers for customers, we must first understand the process flow, temperature and material requirements. The price of stainless steel chillers is slightly higher than that of ordinary chillers. So you can choose the appropriate chiller according to your needs and budget.

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...
