Why does the Water-cooled Box Chiller Leak?

Why does the Water-cooled Box Chiller Leak?

The normal operation of the electronic control system, water circulation and refrigerant circulation is the major prerequisite for the normal operation of the water-cooled box chiller. If one of these aspects fails, it will cause the equipment to fail to cool normally, thereby delaying the production schedule. Among them, water leakage in equipment is a very common failure. Why does water leak occur? How to solve it?

Generally speaking, the water leakage of the equipment occurs at the connection between the water pipe and the water pipe. Once the water leakage is found, it should be blocked as soon as possible, which will help the equipment to operate normally.

The water circulation system of the equipment is mainly composed of water inlet pipes, evaporators, outlet pipes, water tanks, chilled water pumps, cooling water pumps, condensers, pipes at various connections and valves. If one of these parts is damaged, water leakage may occur .

The causes and solutions of water leakage are as follows:

(1) Water leakage at the water inlet or outlet of the equipment is mainly due to the leakage caused by the loose or broken bolts of the connecting parts. It is only necessary to repair the loose bolts or replace the damaged bolts;

(2) The shell part of the evaporator is leaking. It is necessary to check whether there is water seepage in the welding part of the evaporator shell. If there is water leakage, the welding part needs to be re-welded and repaired;

(3) Water leakage occurs at the float valve. The float valve can control the opening and closing of the water inlet valve according to the buoyancy. It is necessary to check and adjust the position of the ball valve. If there is a float valve, a new float valve needs to be replaced;

(4) The water inside the water tank is too full and the cooling water fluctuates when the equipment is running, causing water leakage, which requires the water level in the water tank to be lowered to a reasonable position;

(5) The water tank is leaking, mainly because the welding position of the water tank is corroded, and the rusted part needs to be re-welded;

(6) The water leakage of the water pump is mainly due to the poor connection or damage of the shaft seal at the position of the water pump, so replace the shaft seal of the water pump;

(7) For water leakage caused by the perforation of the condenser inside the equipment, find the perforated part and block it;

(8) If the installation position of the equipment is wrong, if the equipment is tilted for a long time, it will easily lead to uneven stress on the valves and pipes, causing water leakage. It should be ensured that the equipment is placed on a flat table.

It can be known that there are many reasons for the water leakage of the water-cooled box chiller. Once the water leakage is found, it is necessary to find the cause of the water leakage, so as to solve the problem well.
