What are the signs of normal operation of the chiller?

 Industrial chillers include air-cooled chillers, water-cooled chillers, and screw chillers, which are widely used in the plastic industry, pharmaceutical industry, food processing industry, chicken hatching bases, etc. However, many customers do not know how to use the industrial chiller after purchasing it, and do not know whether the machine is working properly. Let's talk about the main signs of normal operation of the chiller.


1. Condenser: Water-cooled chiller cooling water system: The cooling water should be sufficient, the water pressure should reach more than 0.15MPa, and the temperature difference between the inlet and outlet water should not be too large, otherwise it indicates insufficient water flow.

2. Compressor: When the compressor is running, the optimal superheat is 4~8 degrees, the maximum suction superheat does not exceed 15℃, and the condensation phenomenon is limited to the compressor return air pipe, and there should be no frost in other parts. There should be no local heating and frost on the outer wall of the compressor, and the surface temperature should not be greater than 15-20℃ than the evaporation temperature. The exhaust temperature of the screw compressor should not exceed 90℃. If it exceeds 105℃, liquid spray cooling should be added.

3. Oil temperature: The oil temperature of the scroll machine should not exceed 80℃ under any circumstances, and the minimum should be 10℃ higher than the evaporation temperature.

4. Condensation pressure: The pressure of the air-cooled condenser R22 should not exceed 2.2Mpa, and the pressure of the water-cooled condenser R22 should not exceed 2.0Mpa.

4. Oil level: The oil level should be visible at the horizontal center line of the oil sight glass, otherwise there may be an oil level problem.

5. Liquid pipeline filter: The temperature difference between the front and rear should not be too large, and frosting should not occur, otherwise it will be blocked. The joints of the fluorine system should not leak oil, and oil leakage indicates fluorine leakage. ‌‌

6.‌Operation sound‌: The sound of the compressor should be clear and uniform, without any knocking sound‌

7.‌Pressure gauge and thermometer‌: The pointers of each pressure gauge should be relatively stable, and the thermometer should indicate correctly‌.



Common faults and treatment methods‌ include:

1.‌High pressure protection (condensing pressure is too high)‌: It may be due to small amount of cooling water in the condenser, air or non-condensable gas in the system, excessive refrigerant filling, etc.

2.‌Insufficient cooling water flow‌: It may cause poor cooling effect, and it is necessary to check whether the water pump is working properly‌.

3.‌Abnormal oil level‌: The oil level should be visible at the horizontal center line of the oil sight glass, otherwise there may be an oil level problem‌.

4.‌Liquid pipeline filter is clogged‌: There is a large temperature difference between the front and back or there is frost, so it is necessary to check and clean the filter.

5.‌Fluorine system joints leaking fluorine‌: Check whether the joints are leaking oil and repair them if necessary

Where are water-cooled chillers used? What is a chiller used for?

  Water-cooled chiller   is a cooling water device that can provide constant temperature, constant current and constant pressure. A chiller is a machine that achieves refrigeration through vapor compression or absorption cycles. These liquids can flow through heat exchangers to cool the air or equipment. The industrial chiller can always output ice water with a lower temperature than the ambient temperature. It can be used wherever cooling is required, either direct cooling or indirect heat exchange. The main components of a water-cooled chiller are compressor, condenser, evaporator, water pump, and water tank. Chillers have a wide range of applications. The chiller can be used to cool the injection mold, improve the quality of plastic products, cool the vacuum coating, control the temperature of the vacuum coating machine, cool the food industry, fast cooling processing, chemical industry, effectively control the temperature of chemicals, cooling buildings, concrete fast Cool...

Ways and solutions of noise produced by chillers - www.oumalchiller.com

  It is inevitable that the chiller will produce sound when it is working. For example, when the fan rotates, the fan blades rub against the air, it will produce sound. Normal sound is allowed. However, even the sophisticated refrigeration equipment will appear after a long period of use. Fault. Then, the editor of   Oumal Chiller   will take you to understand the causes and solutions of the noise produced by the chiller. First, find the reason from the parts that are easy to check and observe: 1. Are the anchor screws loose? The chiller is fixed on the ground. After running for a long time, the anchor bolts will be loose, and the chiller will be unstable, which will cause noise. This situation can be solved by replacing the anchor bolts, and vibration reduction can also be installed if conditions permit. The purpose is to make the chiller firmly fixed on the ground. 2. Whether the connecting pipeline is firm There are large and small pipes on the chiller, connecting the ...

How is the Refrigeration Industry Leading the Green Development with R404A

  As global environmental concerns continue to rise, the refrigeration industry is undergoing a significant transformation. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported overseas are now increasingly adopting the eco-friendly refrigerant R404A, leading the way in the industry's green development. Here's a deeper look into this trend. Why Is R404A Becoming the Preferred Refrigerant for  Water-Cooled Low-Temperature Units ? R404A is a blend of refrigerants that stands out due to its environmentally friendly properties. It is free from Ozone Depleting Potential (ODP) and has a relatively low Global Warming Potential (GWP), making it an ideal substitute for traditional refrigerants. This balance between high-performance cooling and environmental friendliness has made R404A especially popular in regions with strict environmental regulations, such as Europe and North America. Water-cooled low-temperature units exported to these areas are now commonly equipped with R404A to meet local ...
