How to judge the chilled water flow of the chiller | Oumalchiller.com

 Generally speaking, everyone will have doubts when purchasing a chiller. I don't know how to judge the chilled water flow of the chiller? From what aspects should the water flow of the chiller be considered? Today I would like to share with you four suggestions:

1. Detection of return water temperature and outlet water temperature of the chiller (the unit needs to be in normal state):

30 minutes after starting up the unit, you can read the temperature of the inlet and outlet water when the unit is running through the parameters of the unit's control system or the inlet and outlet water thermometers of the unit's chilled water system. The difference should be ensured to be about 4-6 degrees. If the water temperature difference is too large, it means that the water flow of the water system through the plate type device is too small, which may cause the unit to fail to operate normally or be damaged.

2. Water pressure detection of the inlet and outlet pipes of the chiller unit:

Through the detection of the return water pressure and the water outlet pressure value, check the water flow rate of the chiller under the pressure difference between the inlet and outlet water in the random manual of the unit. In order to judge whether the water system is normal; and through this difference to judge which section of the water pipeline resistance value is too large, and make corresponding rectification plans and actions.


3. Detection of the suction temperature of the copper tube of the compressor (only in the cooling operation):

If the suction temperature of the compressor is detected to be lower than 0 degrees after the refrigerating chiller is turned on for 30 minutes, it means that the water flow in the water-side heat exchanger is insufficient, resulting in a drop in the evaporating temperature and evaporating pressure, and causing freon to flow in the direction of the evaporator. The suction pipe of the compressor is still evaporating and absorbing heat, which will cause the suction temperature of the compressor to be lower than 0 degrees; in addition, it is necessary to eliminate the drop of evaporating pressure and evaporating temperature caused by the low water temperature set point; The low water temperature unit can be considered normal as long as the compressor has a suction superheat of 6 to 8 °C. Therefore, under normal water flow, the suction temperature of the compressor will generally be greater than 0 °C, below this value, the problem of the water system needs to be eliminated.


4. Water pump running current detection:

By detecting the running current of the chiller water pump and comparing it with the rated current, it can be judged whether the actual water flow rate is larger or smaller than the rated water flow rate of the water pump. Only by making a comprehensive judgment with the previous parameters can an exact water system detection and analysis be obtained. Judgment report.

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 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...

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...
