Process Chillers

A process chiller is a device that provides a cooling system that can be useful in many different organizations. This type of unit is basically a cooling system that uses a liquid to absorb heat first and after that is goes through a cooling process to get rid of the heat that is present.

Process chillers are used in different workplaces and in different devices such as refrigeration and air conditioning. If you think about how your refrigerator or air conditioner works, it makes all of the heat in your house or removes all of the heat from your food and cools it.

The process occurs with heat being removed with an absorption refrigeration sequence or a vapor compression technology piece. To create a coolant, it is possible that you can use plain water in the different portions of process chillers; a glycol based mixture is more common to use. If both are not available, you may also use a corrosion inhibitor to get the job done.

The unit is more used in air conditioning than any other device. Within the air conditioner, there are a series of different coils throughout the system. In that system of coils, your coolant – whether it be water or another type of coolant absorbs the heat as well as releases it in a cycle that lasts until the temperature that is needed is reached.

Many different factories and industries are known to use the process chillers device. For example, a plastics industry, or metal work, welding, food processing, and HVAC industries use process chillers. In addition to all of these industries, a main and important workplace uses a process chiller, a hospital. A hospital uses a process chiller because it is necessary to keep the MRI machines and lasers at the correct temperature for it to work correctly.

Many different industries use centralized or decentralized chillers. A centralized chiller can handle more than one machine and a decentralized chiller can handle the control of a separate machine.

Be sure to consider certain things when you are researching a process chiller. The price of purchase and total cost of operation, the capacity of the chiller’s cooling, the type of evaporator, the material of the evaporator, types and materials of the compressor, and the different specifications of the process pumps. The different specification can be listed as pressure, flow, and the pump material.

To save more money be sure to look at which chiller is environmentally safe and is the best for your uses.
