How to size a chiller for spot welding machine - Oumalchiller.com

 Spot welding machine is a kind of mechanical equipment. It adopts the principle of double-sided double-point overcurrent welding. When working, two electrodes pressurize the workpiece so that the two layers of metal form a certain contact resistance under the pressure of the two electrodes, and the welding current changes from one When the electrode flows through the other electrode, the two contact resistance points form an instant thermal fusion, and the welding current flows from the other electrode to the electrode along the two workpieces to form a loop instantly, and will not damage the internal structure of the welded workpiece. Because the resistance welding machine is in the working process, the resistance head is prone to high temperature, which affects the accuracy of the processed product, so a chiller is needed to cool it next to ensure the accuracy of the processed product. The spot welding machine is equipped with a chiller, which can improve the safety and stability of the welding work and extend the life of the welding machine.


Industrial chillers used for spot welding operate like recirculating coolers as they use the same closed-loop setups. However, process chillers can be modified to handle industrial cooling on a larger scale. Industrial chillers also have condensers, evaporators, and automated temperature controls that make them more efficient. Air cooled chiller is a good choice for spot welding machine, It’s easy to installation and move.


cooling water chiller for spot welding machine

A general rule for sizing a chiller is that, for every 100KVA of welder, you should have about a 1-ton chiller. For example, if you want to cool 4 welders that are 100KVA each, you will need a 4-ton chiller. If you want to cool a 300KVA machine, you will need a 3-ton chiller. See below for further sizing details.


To calculate for resistance welding:

BTU/hr = (welder KVA) x (duty cycle) x (0.85) x (0.6) x 3415 BTU/hr

To calculate for resistance welding:

BTU/hr = (welder KVA) x (duty cycle) x (Eff power supply) x (Eff heat collection) x 3415

Eff. power supply = the percentage of output to input power

Eff. heat collection = the percentage of heat absorbed by chilling water (varies by approximately 50-70%)

Duty cycle = weld time on/ time elapsed

Where are water-cooled chillers used? What is a chiller used for?

  Water-cooled chiller   is a cooling water device that can provide constant temperature, constant current and constant pressure. A chiller is a machine that achieves refrigeration through vapor compression or absorption cycles. These liquids can flow through heat exchangers to cool the air or equipment. The industrial chiller can always output ice water with a lower temperature than the ambient temperature. It can be used wherever cooling is required, either direct cooling or indirect heat exchange. The main components of a water-cooled chiller are compressor, condenser, evaporator, water pump, and water tank. Chillers have a wide range of applications. The chiller can be used to cool the injection mold, improve the quality of plastic products, cool the vacuum coating, control the temperature of the vacuum coating machine, cool the food industry, fast cooling processing, chemical industry, effectively control the temperature of chemicals, cooling buildings, concrete fast Cool...

Ways and solutions of noise produced by chillers - www.oumalchiller.com

  It is inevitable that the chiller will produce sound when it is working. For example, when the fan rotates, the fan blades rub against the air, it will produce sound. Normal sound is allowed. However, even the sophisticated refrigeration equipment will appear after a long period of use. Fault. Then, the editor of   Oumal Chiller   will take you to understand the causes and solutions of the noise produced by the chiller. First, find the reason from the parts that are easy to check and observe: 1. Are the anchor screws loose? The chiller is fixed on the ground. After running for a long time, the anchor bolts will be loose, and the chiller will be unstable, which will cause noise. This situation can be solved by replacing the anchor bolts, and vibration reduction can also be installed if conditions permit. The purpose is to make the chiller firmly fixed on the ground. 2. Whether the connecting pipeline is firm There are large and small pipes on the chiller, connecting the ...

How is the Refrigeration Industry Leading the Green Development with R404A

  As global environmental concerns continue to rise, the refrigeration industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported overseas are now increasingly adopting the eco-friendly refrigerant R404A, leading the way in the industry's green development. Here's a deeper look into this trend. Why Is R404A Becoming the Preferred Refrigerant for  Water-Cooled Low-Temperature Units ? R404A is a blend of refrigerants that stands out due to its environmentally friendly properties. It is free from Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and has a relatively low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an ideal substitute for traditional refrigerants. This balance between high-performance cooling and environmental friendliness has made R404A especially popular in regions with strict environmental regulations, such as Europe and North America. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported to these areas are now commonly equipped with R404A to meet local ...
