How to debug a screw chiller - oumalchiller.com

 An important step in the commissioning of screw chillers and scroll chillers is the charging of refrigerant. Generally, Oumal screw chillers are filled with the specified type of refrigerant before leaving the factory. After the chiller arrives at the chiller installation site, first check whether the screw chiller is damaged during transportation, check the high and low pressure gauges, and confirm whether the chiller is in good condition. If it is found that the refrigerant is insufficient or leaking, you need to find out the leak place and fix it, and then add the specified type of refrigerant according to the product instructions. For some screw chillers, the refrigerant needs to be emptied for transportation due to transportation problems. Therefore, after the machine arrives at the installation site, the refrigerant needs to be added again, and the appropriate refrigerant must be added according to the manufacturer's requirements. Before adding refrigerant, the air in the screw chiller system should be evacuated before adding refrigerant.


In the debugging process of the screw chiller, the following issues need to be paid attention to the following points: .

1. Check whether the valves in the refrigeration system are in normal opening state, especially the exhaust shut-off valve, do not close it.

2. Open the cooling valve of the condenser and the cold water valve of the evaporator, and the flow of chilled water and cooling water should meet the requirements of the manufacturer.

3. Before starting, observe whether the power supply voltage of the unit is normal.

4. Start the unit according to the installation instructions provided by the screw chiller manufacturer,

5. The safety protection installed in the refrigeration system should be used correctly, such as high and low pressure protection devices, water flow switches for chilled water and cooling water, safety valves and other components. If damaged, they should be replaced in time.

6. If an alarm occurs in the screw chiller, it should be stopped immediately for inspection. If it cannot be solved, contact the chiller manufacturer in time.


If you have purchased an Oumal screw chiller and do not know how to debug it, please contact your salesperson directly to guide the installation online.

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...
