Introduction to Chiller System

What

A Chiller is a sublime machine that removes heat from a liquid coolant by vapour- Compression, Adsorption, Refrigeration or absorption refrigeration cycles. It also transports Heat from one location to keep other locations cool.

Types of chillers:

Chillers fall under two main categories in the names of Vapor compression and vapor absorption chillers. These two categories expanded to six types based on their working ability.

  • Vapor absorption:
    • Air chillers
    • Air chillers
    Uses for move the refrigerant around the system with the use of the heat.
  • Vapor compression:
    • Centrifugal compression
    • Scroll compression
    • Reciprocating compression
    • Screw compression
    Uses for force a refrigerant around the system by electrically driven mechanical compression.

An evaporator, Compressor, Condenser and Expansion unit are the main components of a chiller unit. Every chiller system contains a refrigerant.

  • Air-cooled chillers: Air-cooled chillers are among the most commonly used refrigeration systems for commercial and industrial facilities.
    • Lower installed cost and maintenance due to its simple construction.
    • No handling problem with air
    • Used for low capacity
    • No problem in disposing of used air
    • Tower and mechanical room not required.
    • Adapt to most climates.
  • Water-cooled chillers:
    • Used for large capacity, especially industrial plants
    • Can operate on lower condensing temperature
    • Higher efficiency
    • Longer life
    Both Air chillers and Water chillers are very alike components. The predominant difference between Air &Water chillers is the way of ejecting unwanted heat.
  • Chiller Compressions: It uses a mechanical compressor to force a refrigerant around the cooling system. Sometimes compression is paired with refrigerated air driers to get rid of potentially harmful Moisture in the chilled air
  • Screw compressor chillers:
    • Can use in both water- and air-cooled chillers
    • Best choice for small, medium cooling loads
    • Manufactured using high-grade material procured
    • The male and female rotors are rotating in the opposite directions they draw air between them.
  • Reciprocating compressor chillers:
    • Good for small application
    • Low/no consumption power while unloading
    • Simple construction makes operation easy
    • Operates over a wide range of pressure
    • Easy maintenance
  • Centrifugal compressor chillers:
    • Good for high-pressure applications
    • Low maintenance and running cost
    • Does not require a special foundation
    • Can be 1500 HP or larger
  • Scroll compressor chillers:
    • Best for large-scale air-conditioning applications
    • Less noise and vibration
    • Fewer moving parts and less torque
    • More efficient than standard compressors
