Industrial chillers are essential pieces of equipment used to remove heat from industrial processes and maintain optimal temperatures. They play a crucial role in various industries, ensuring smooth operations and product quality. Here's a breakdown of their uses and materials of construction:

Much like a Boiler is used to heat a process, a Chiller and other Refrigeration equipment is typically used to cool a process.

Chillers work by compressing a refrigeration gas (R132A, Freon, R22) into a liquid, and using a special refrigeration valve, releasing the compressed liquid back into a gas.

The conversion of the liquid back into a gas removes heat and creates cold. It is the same principal as when you use a can of compressed air to clean your computer keyboard. The longer you release the compressed air, the colder the can gets.

You use the cold that is created by using a heat exchanger for liquid cooling or air exchanger if you are cooling air.

Chillers are grouped by the type of compressor:

• Centrifugal
• Screw Type
• Reciprocating

Chillers are further grouped by the type of cooling used to dispense the heat generated:

• air cooled (radiators)
• water cooled (condensers)

Chillers are typically a packaged design with the compressor, condenser, evaporator, pumps, valves and controls all skid mounted.

Chillers are often distinguished by the Tons of Refrigeration they produce and at what temperature. A rule of thumb to use when looking for the capacity of a chiller is 1 ton of refrigeration @ 40 degrees F for each horsepower the compressor uses. The lower the discharge temperature, the more horsepower is required.

Cooling towers are designed to take water that is heated during the refrigeration process and cool it quickly by passing it through a cooling tower where large fans cool the water.

International Process Plants offers Industrial Chillers with the following Sub-Types:

• Compressor (Compressors Only)
• Ice Machines

What Industrial Chillers Are Used For:

Process Cooling: Many industrial processes generate significant heat. Chillers provide a continuous source of chilled water or fluid to cool down machinery, equipment, and materials. This prevents overheating, extends equipment lifespan, and ensures consistent product quality.

HVAC Systems: Large buildings like offices, hospitals, and shopping malls use chillers to cool water for air conditioning systems, providing comfortable indoor environments.

Food and Beverage Industry: Chillers are used in food processing to cool down ingredients, maintain storage temperatures, and ensure product safety. They are also vital in beverage production for cooling during fermentation and bottling.

Plastics Industry: Chillers cool down molds in plastic injection molding and extrusion processes, speeding up production cycles and improving product quality.

Metal Finishing: Chillers maintain precise temperatures in metal plating and chemical treatment processes, preventing defects and ensuring high-quality finishes.

Data Centers: Data centers generate a lot of heat. Chillers are crucial for keeping servers cool and preventing them from overheating, ensuring uninterrupted operation.

Medical Applications: Chillers are used in medical equipment like MRI machines and in pharmaceutical manufacturing to maintain precise temperatures.

Materials of Construction:

Industrial chillers are built to withstand demanding environments and ensure longevity. Common materials used in their construction include:

Compressors:

• Cast Iron: Used for compressor housings due to its durability and cost-effectiveness.
• Steel: Used for internal components like shafts and gears due to its strength and resistance to wear.

Heat Exchangers:

• Copper: Excellent heat transfer properties, commonly used in evaporator and condenser coils.
• Aluminum: Lightweight and corrosion-resistant, used in some heat exchanger designs.
• Stainless Steel: Used in applications requiring high hygiene standards or resistance to corrosive substances.

Piping:

• Steel: Strong and durable, used for refrigerant and water lines.
• Copper: Used for refrigerant lines due to its flexibility and heat transfer capabilities.
• PVC: Used for water lines in some applications due to its corrosion resistance and cost-effectiveness.

Structural Components:

• Steel: Provides a robust frame for the chiller unit.
• Stainless Steel: Used in environments with corrosive conditions or where hygiene is critical.

Insulation:

• Foam: Various types of foam (e.g., polyurethane) are used to insulate the chiller and prevent heat gain.

The specific materials used in an industrial chiller will depend on its size, type, and intended application. Factors like the type of fluid being cooled, operating temperatures, and environmental conditions all influence material selection.

Key Considerations:

When choosing an industrial chiller, it's essential to consider factors like cooling capacity, energy efficiency, maintenance requirements, and the specific needs of your industry and application. Consulting with experienced engineers and chiller manufacturers can help you select the best solution for your needs.

FAQs

How does shipping work? We offer several options for shipping, including internationally. Should the customer choose, they can arrange their own shipping.

What about used equipment? Where do you get it? About 98% of our used equipment comes from plant-type liquidations in which we are required to not sell the systems or plants as a whole back into the marketplace. Our inventories come from those pieces that didn’t sell at the site but still have great value.

What are the benefits for companies buying used plants? Buying a complete plant for relocation will save a company about 70% of the new equipment and engineering cost and 50% of the project lead time. Most of our customers would not be able to justify the cost of a new plant or an expansion. They also might not have the time to wait for construction in either scenario. Our value proposition is that we provide opportunities and solutions to our buyers.

Who buys from you? Mostly small and midsize companies that are entrepreneurial in nature. These companies understand our value proposition.

How have you been so successful for so long? We provide a high level of service to our customers, helping them solve their problems and attain their growth and profit goals.
