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 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...
