How industrial chillers work
During production, industrial processes generate heat from friction, equipment, or burning. Our industrial chillers use process cooling to direct heat away from the equipment. They help maximize the lifetime of your components and keep your production moving. Process chillers are different than standard HVAC systems that you have in your home or office. A pumping system directs cool fluid from the chiller to your process to remove heat, and then returns the warm liquid to the chiller. By eliminating the heat using the process water, your equipment stays cool. Process industrial chillers have four main components, each playing a vital role in the cooling process:
The four main components of industrial chillers: Evaporator, Compressor, Condenser and Expansion Valve
Evaporator: As the first step in the cooling phase, process water enters the evaporator, and the heat starts to boil the refrigerant, which transforms it from a low-pressure liquid to a low-pressure gas.
Compressor: Inside the compressor, the gas converts from low-pressure to high-pressure before traveling to release its heat in the condenser.
Condenser: Ambient air or condenser water cools the high-pressure gas, condensing it back into a low-pressure, low-temperature liquid.
Expansion Valve: Finally, the liquid refrigerant travels to the expansion valve and enters the evaporator and begins the cycle again.
