Air Cooled and Water Cooled Chillers

Air Cooled and Water Cooled Chillers

Industrial chillers are divided into two categories, namely air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers. First of all, you need to determine which type you need, and you must also understand the differences between the two cooling methods, as well as price comparisons. .

The air-cooled chiller mainly consists of four main components: compressor, evaporator, condenser, and throttling device. Air-cooled chillers have the advantages of easy installation and no need for cooling tower systems, and are widely used in various industries.

1. The air-cooled chiller adopts a finned condenser, which directly uses the fan to take away the heat of the refrigerant, so no other auxiliary equipment is needed, which saves the need to install a cooling pipeline system. And it has certain advantages in installation, especially for small chillers, it is more convenient when it needs to be moved.

2. The condensing temperature of the air-cooled chiller is higher than that of the water-cooled chiller during operation. Under the same cooling capacity, the power consumption of the air-cooled chiller will be higher, and the air-cooled chiller is higher than the water-cooled chiller. The cooling capacity of the traditional type is about 300 to 500Kcal/h higher.

3. The air-cooled chiller uses a finned condenser, which is greatly affected by the accumulation of dust and scale, so the finned tubes should be cleaned regularly to avoid clogging.

The water-cooled chiller mainly uses water to dissipate heat. It uses a shell-and-tube evaporator to exchange heat between water and refrigerant. The refrigerant system absorbs the heat load in the water and cools the water to produce cold water. It is brought to the shell-and-tube condenser, and the refrigerant exchanges heat with water, so that the water absorbs the heat and then takes the heat out to the external cooling tower (belonging to water cooling) through the water pipe.

1. The water-cooled chiller is safer in operation than the air-cooled chiller, and it is more convenient for maintenance.

2. The power consumption of water-cooled chillers is less than that of air-cooled chillers, and the power consumption of water-cooled chillers is only about 70% of that of air-cooled chillers.

3. The built-in automatic water supply device saves installation and maintenance, and is especially suitable for other special occasions such as large temperature difference and small flow.

In fact, both air-cooled chillers and water-cooled chillers have their own application advantages. When choosing a chiller, you can choose a suitable type of industrial chiller based on your own environment, price and cost, and other factors.
