An industrial water chiller is a machine specially designed to cool down the temperatures of machinery and big plants in the industrial facilities. It works almost the same as an air conditioner just that it controls water temperature and not air. Its main role is protecting your processing equipment. This improves your production level since it provides the perfect temperature for your equipment.
There are very many chillers in the market to choose from. It is important that you select the right chiller for your industry. This can be a complex task, but with the guide below you will have an easier time.
Heat Load
This is the first thing you have to do. There are many methods of calculating heat load. If you do not know how to do so, seek professional help. Be as accurate as possible because a difference of one degree might end up giving you a wrong system.
Coolant Flow Rate, and Temperature
You need to determine the rate of flow that the chiller has to have for the cooling process, in addition to the target temperature of the coolant. The mode of heat transfer to the coolant from the process together with the type of coolant that is being used.
Know The Environment of Installation
Where is the industrial water chiller going to be installed? This is crucial because outdoor and indoor climate or temperature is very different. The right chiller is one that can perfectly withstand changes in temperature. The area of installation also determines the size of the chiller and any other additional accessories that will be required.
Performance Curve
Use the available chiller performance curves to select the right chiller model which has the right capacity as per the temperature of the chilled water. To ensure that you optimally utilize the chiller you select, consider the safety application margin as per the available frame sizes.
Pump performance Curves
Checking the performance of the pump is crucial. It helps you know whether the pump gives the required amount of pressure for flow so as to satisfy your industry’s demand.
Chilling Capacity
You need to find the right size. If you buy an undersized one, you are likely to have problems such as the water not
being at the desired temperature, and the chiller getting damaged because of over-temperature. Use practical or theoretical methods to determine the right
size.
Other factors
Having taken the major factors into consideration you need to look at other things such as control options, color, power characteristics, and other special applications you might need.
Now that you know how to select an industrial water cooler, Keep in mind that when you go to purchase one, you need to buy from a reliable and trusted manufacturer. This ensures that you buy a quality one and you also get a warranty. This is a huge investment, do not be afraid to take your time and research. It may end up saving you both money and time that would otherwise be wasted if a hasty decision is made.
Just like any other machine, an espresso machine requires to be serviced regularly. There is no need to buy an expensive machine and then have to throw it away just because it cannot be serviced. It is also good to look for a machine that you get its parts more easily without having to important them. When you get a good machine, be sure to ask where you can have it serviced. You should also research to find out the duration that the machine has been around and easy access to its parts.
As you shop for an espresso machine, you should look for the one with the longest warranty period. Just like other machines your espresso machine might break down or fail to function as a result of faulty in its manufacturing process. Therefore, make sure that you look for a machine that has a long warranty because it shows that it is of high quality. This will also save you some costs in terms of repair.
