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...

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...
