Industrial Refrigeration Solutions provide a high-quality chiller hire service in Kent and across the United Kingdom. But what are industrial chillers and how do they work? If you’re unsure whether you need one or not, keep reading for our complete guide below.
Industrial or commercial chillers are complex units designed to remove excess heat by negating the thermal energy produced by internal and external factors, such as computers, machinery, direct heat from the sun, and people. There are two common industrial chiller types:
1. Air-cooled chiller: The most common type of chiller that is usually found outside. They are less energy efficient but are easier and cheaper to install.
2. Water-cooled chiller: These are mostly used in large industrial facilities, found in a purpose-built plant room. They are often very large and therefore more complicated and expensive to install.
An industrial chiller operates by moving heat from one location to another – usually from the piece of equipment to the air outside of the manufacturing facility. Chillers consist of four basic components: an evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion unit.
The process begins with a low-pressure refrigerant entering the evaporator, where it is heated to become a gas. This gas then reaches the compressor which increases its pressure, before entering the condenser which rejects the heat using cooling water and condenses into a high-pressure liquid. The liquid then enters the expansion unit which features a valve that limits the flow of the refrigerant in the system.
Regardless of the industry and process, a sufficient chiller is critical to productivity and cost savings. Using a chiller will provide a consistent temperature and pressure to your industrial process.
