How to choose a screw chiller correctly - oumalchiller.com

 The industrial chiller machine has become one of the essential equipment for cooling in most production enterprises, and the screw chiller is a large-scale industrial refrigeration equipment. Screw chillers are divided into air-cooled screw chillers and water-cooled screw chillers. Compressors, condensers, and evaporators are important components of screw chillers. When purchasing a screw chiller machine, you must first understand the main control parameters of the screw chiller, such as refrigeration coefficient, cooling capacity, refrigerant, input power, etc. When choosing a screw chiller, we must consider the cooling capacity, the user's operating voltage, the outlet water temperature, and the condensing temperature. Use this to determine the model of the compressor, as well as the energy of the evaporator and condenser.

The actual cooling capacity of the screw chiller equipment is related to the following factors:

1. Chilled water outlet temperature and the water flow

2. Inlet water temperature, flow rate and fouling coefficient of cooling water

When choosing a screw compressor chiller, in addition to considering the cooling capacity, the installation environment should also be considered. In this way, it is determined whether to choose an air-cooled screw chiller or a water-cooled screw chiller. Under the same cooling capacity requirement, the energy efficiency ratio of the water-cooled screw chiller is higher than that of the air-cooled screw chiller. Therefore, There will be differences in the model of the compressor, which leads to the higher cost of the compressor of the air-cooled screw chiller than that of the water-cooled screw chiller, and the cost of the air-cooled condenser is also higher than that of the water-cooled shell and tube condenser. So how to determine whether to choose a water-cooled screw chiller or an air-cooled screw chiller?


From the perspective of the purchase cost of the screw chiller, the price of purchasing a water-cooled screw chiller is lower than that of an air-cooled screw chiller.

If you consider the installation environment, the air-cooled screw chiller is easy to install, without the need to install a cooling tower, and it is suitable to install the air-cooled screw chiller in places where water resources are scarce.

From the perspective of the maintenance of the screw chiller, the later maintenance cost of the water-cooled screw chiller is higher, and the technical requirements are higher. If there is no professional staff, in the process of installing and using the water-cooled screw chiller, It is easy to cause various problems in the chiller due to problems such as water flow, while the maintenance of the air-cooled screw chiller is relatively simple. Regularly clean the condenser and check the machine regularly.


Through the above analysis, do you know how to choose a suitable screw chiller? If you don't know how to choose when purchasing a screw chiller, Call us +86 15112554736 to get the professional suggestion.

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 Makes High-Temperature Heat Pump Units Essential for Modern Energy Use

  High-temperature heat pump units   have become essential to modern energy utilization technologies, finding widespread applications across various industries such as industrial, agricultural, and commercial sectors. These units' unique performance and advantages are key in driving energy transitions and achieving energy conservation and emission reductions. This blog will explore the working principles, application areas, technical features, and future trends of high-temperature heat pump units. How Do High-Temperature Heat Pump Units Work? High-temperature heat pump units operate based on the principle of the reverse Carnot cycle. They use a small amount of electrical or thermal energy to absorb heat from a low-temperature source and transfer it to a high-temperature source. The process involves four key stages: evaporation, compression, condensation, and expansion. During evaporation, the refrigerant absorbs heat from the low-temperature source and turns into a low-pressur...
