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

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 maintenance is required for an air-cooled chiller?

  Maintenance of an  air-cooled chiller  is essential to ensure efficient operation, longevity, and to prevent unexpected breakdowns. The following are key maintenance tasks required for an air-cooled chiller: 1. Regular Cleaning of Condenser Coils Frequency: Monthly or as needed Task: Clean the condenser coils to remove dirt, debris, and buildup that can reduce heat transfer efficiency. Method: Use compressed air, a soft brush, or a commercial coil cleaner. 2. Checking Refrigerant Levels Frequency: Monthly Task: Ensure refrigerant levels are within the manufacturer's recommended range. Method: Use gauges and other diagnostic tools to measure refrigerant pressures. 3. Inspecting Electrical Components Frequency: Quarterly Task: Inspect electrical connections, contactors, and wiring for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage. Method: Tighten loose connections, replace damaged wires, and check for proper voltage and amperage. 4. Monitoring and Testing Controls Frequency: Monthl...
