How to deal with the high pressure failure of water cooled screw chiller | Oumalchiller.com

 Water cooled screw chiller is a water to water chiller which compressor use semi-hermetic screw type. It’s high efficient water chiller system. The cooling water system including a water cooled screw chiller, a cooling tower, a water tank, and 3 water pumps. Water cooled screw chiller is widely used in the industrial cooling system. High pressure failure of the water cooled screw chiller is the common failure when it working. While how to deal with the high pressure failure of the water cooled screw chillers. Blow let’s talk with the Possible causes and solutions of the high pressure.


1. The temperature of the chiller is too high and the condensing effect is not good. The rated working temperature of the cooling water required by the water-cooled screw chiller is 30℃-35℃. The high water temperature and poor heat dissipation will inevitably lead to excessive condenser pressure. Occurs in the high temperature season, the reason for the high water temperature may be: cooling tower failure, such as the fan is not turned on or even reversed, the water distributor does not rotate, it turns into the high temperature of the cooling water, and rises rapidly, the external temperature is high, the water path is short, and the recyclable water is less If the cooling water temperature has been maintained at a high level, it can be solved by adding a storage tank.


2. The cooling water flow is not enough to reach the rated water flow. The main performance is that the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the unit is reduced (compared to the pressure difference at the beginning of the system operation), and the temperature increases. The reason for the insufficient water flow is the system Lack of water or air. The solution is to install an exhaust valve at the height of the exhaust pipe. The pipe filter is blocked or selected too fine, and the permeability is restricted. The appropriate filter should be selected and the filter screen should be cleaned regularly. The water pump is very small. The system does not match.

3. Scaling or clogging of the condenser of the screw chiller. Tap water is generally used for condensate, which is prone to scaling when the temperature is higher than 30°C. Moreover, because the cooling tower is open and directly exposed to the air, dust and foreign objects can easily enter the cooling water system, causing dirt to block the condenser, small heat exchange area, low efficiency, and affecting water flow. Its performance is that the pressure difference and temperature between the inlet and outlet of the unit become larger, making the condenser temperature very high, and the copper pipe at the condenser outlet is hot. The equipment should be backwashed regularly, and chemical cleaning and descaling should be carried out when necessary.

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...
