What should I do if the chilled water of the industrial chiller does not circulate - OUMAL Refrigeration Machinery Co.,Ltd

 In the process of using the chiller, have you encountered the problem that the chilled water of the chiller does not circulate? How to solve the problem of the chilled water not circulating?


We all know that under normal circumstances, small industrial chillers have been equipped with chilled water circulation pumps, such as Packaged air-cooled chillers, box-type water-cooled chillers, and large capacity chillers such as screw chillers and open-type water chillers. The chiller does not contain a chilled water circulating pump. At this time, when installing the cooling water system, an external chilled water circulation pump must be installed, so that the cooling water returns to the chiller for cooling after absorbing the heat of the cooling equipment, so that the cooling water supply pipe forms a circulation system.


It should be noted that no matter whether the chilled water pump is inside the built-in chiller case or outside the chiller, it is recommended that the location of the chilled water pump should be lower than the water level of the water tank. In this way, the circulating water pump can absorb cooling water well. However, in some cases, due to the needs or limitations of the installation environment, the chilled water pump may be higher than the water level of the water tank, so that the cooling water system cannot absorb water during operation, resulting in the chiller. In the case of insufficient chilled water flow, it cannot be started and a fault is reported. So what should we do when the chiller fault code shows insufficient chilled water flow?




1. Use a rubber tube (open its small valve) to send back the water supply pipe reserved on the large pipe on the water tank, and use a wrench to unscrew the vent plug of the cold water circulation pump (if there is water before tightening), until the water is removed. Return to the large tube in the tank and pull the hose out to see if any air bubbles come out. If it does, keep pouring water into the tank until the return water returns to the large pipe in the tank, then unplug the hose and see if any air bubbles come out. If yes, keep pouring water. Close the small valve until there are no air bubbles.


2. At this point, turn on the chiller for 1 minute. If the big pipe has a lot of water back into the pool, that's fine.


3. If the return water is not enough or there is no return water, repeat the above irrigation operation.


When you purchase and install the Oumal industrial chiller, if the chilled water flow is insufficient during the installation test, please contact our sales in time, we will arrange a professional engineer to guide you to solve the problem. Tel: +86 15112554736.

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...

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 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...
