What is a water chiller?

A water chiller is a device or system designed to cool water by removing heat from it. It is commonly used in various industrial, commercial, and residential applications to maintain a controlled and lower water temperature for specific purposes. The primary function of a water chiller is to absorb heat from water and transfer it to another medium, such as air or a refrigerant.

Water chiller is used for controlled cooling of products, mechanisms and machinery in various industries. Chillers remove heat from process water and transfer it to the air through a heat exchange process. Utilizing the wonders of mechanical compressors and refrigeration cycles, chillers are able to cool water below ambient temperature. Chiller capacity is typically measured in tons and BTUs per hour of cooling.

Water chillers are essential in processes where maintaining a specific temperature is critical, such as in manufacturing, medical equipment, data centers, and HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) systems. There are different types of water chillers, including air-cooled and water-cooled systems, each with its own advantages and applications.

How does a water chiller work?

The water chiller is drawn from the tank, pumped from the cooler to be heated, and then returned to the tank through the cooler's evaporator. An adjustable thermostat senses the temperature of the liquid and cycles the compressor on the chiller to maintain a constant temperature in the tank. Water flows from the cooler to the point of use of the application and back.

Having a non-polluting "closed loop" system will increase the efficiency and extend the life of the chiller. Closed-loop industrial chillers recirculate clean coolant or clean water (sometimes with conditioning additives) at a constant temperature and pressure to add consistent and repeatable variables.

How industrial water chillers work

During production, industrial processes generate heat from friction, equipment or combustion. Our industrial chillers use process cooling to direct heat away from equipment. They help maximize the life of components and keep production running smoothly. Process chillers are not like the standard HVAC systems in your home or office. A pumping system directs cold fluid from the chiller to your process to remove heat, then returns the warm fluid to the chiller. By removing heat with process water, your equipment stays cool. Process industrial chillers have four main components, each of which plays a vital role in the cooling process:

The four main components of an industrial chiller: evaporator, compressor, condenser, and expansion valve

Evaporator: As the first step in the cooling phase, process water enters the evaporator and heat begins to boil the refrigerant, transforming it from a low-pressure liquid to a low-pressure gas.

Compressor: Inside the compressor, the gas is converted from low pressure to high pressure and then heat is released in the condenser.

Condenser: Ambient air or condensate cools the high-pressure gas, condensing it into a low-pressure cryogenic liquid.

Expansion valve: Finally, the liquid refrigerant flows to the expansion valve and into the evaporator to start the cycle again.

Advantages of water chiller

Employee Monitoring of Industrial Chillers

Industrial chillers help keep your equipment at safe operating temperatures and cool your components during processing. Here are some of the advantages of choosing one of our industrial water chillers for your equipment cooling needs:

Tight Temperature Control

Through our experience with industrial processes, we understand the importance of tight temperature control. We offer cost-effective, engineered solutions using variable frequency drives (VFDs) and recirculation tanks to maintain +/- 1°F temperature control.

Scalable

All of our industrial chillers are capable of supporting 1-100+ units, so they are all scalable for future growth. Whether you're starting small or need a larger, more complex cooling system, our process chillers will grow with you.

Continuous operation

We offer a variety of redundancy options to help keep your equipment cool during production. From multiple refrigeration circuits with standard override hysteresis control to automatic pump switching, our units ensure that your process runs continuously. Chillers must meet your changing application needs, which is why we offer capacity control options including digital scroll, cylinder unloading and hot gas bypass.

Oil Cooling Capability

Industrial environments can be very harsh for machine tools, so keeping your oil cool is critical. An overheated machine tool can lead to premature failure and prolonged downtime. Our oil coolers are designed for industrial machine tools to increase efficiency, reliability and equipment life.
