How Does an Industrial Air Chiller Work?
The working of an Industrial Air Chiller forms a closed loop that cyclically involves compression and absorption.
A compressor is said to be the driving force of the refrigeration cycle. It converts the refrigerant liquid into vapors. The refrigerant is a highly pressurized and superheated vapor when it exits the compressor and enters the condenser.
The refrigerant runs along the pipes lying horizontally in the condenser. Here, it will withdraw its thermal energy and transfer it into the ambient air forced by the condenser fan.
At this point, the refrigerant starts to condense and gets converted back into a liquid. Later, when it leaves the condenser, it is a high-pressure, saturated liquid having a moderate temperature.
The refrigerant, before entering the evaporator, passes by an expansion valve. It monitors the flow of refrigerants. It adjusts its flow rate within optimized ranges.
A small cavity only allows a little refrigerant to flow by an expansion valve. It lowers the pressure and expands it in a semi-liquid state.
Ultimately, the refrigerant flows through the evaporator, passing by a series of horizontal tubes. It becomes a low-pressure saturated vapor with a low temperature when it leaves the evaporator.
This vaporization is accomplished by the chilled process water that will have delivered its heat energy to the refrigerant.
The refrigerant vapors will again go through the compressor, repeating the cycle.

How to Size an Appropriate Industrial Air Chiller for your Industry?
Heat is produced as a by-product of the refrigeration cycle. This heat essentially needs to be removed.
If you select the correct size of your Industrial Air Chiller, you will have an ideal cooling effect for your application unit with minimal energy consumption.
However, if you fail to pick the proper size for the unit, it can directly impact the production rate and the working of your application area.
If you select an Industrial Air Chiller larger than the requirements of your application area, the energy will get wasted, and the operational costs will increase.
On the contrary, the heat will not dissipate efficiently on time if you select a smaller unit than your application needs. It would impact the regular operation of the system and the production efficiency of the product.
Therefore, the appropriate sizing of a chiller is an essential factor to consider to meet the ideal cooling requirements.
You can select the appropriate size for your Industrial Air Chiller by considering the following:
- Calculate the Temperature Differential.
ΔT°F = The inlet temperature of the cooling medium – the required temperature of the cooling medium.
- Calculate the cooling capacity by the following formula in BTU/hr.
Cooling Capacity in BTU/hr. = Gallons per hour x ΔT°F x 8.33
- Convert the cooling capacity from BTU per hour into tons by dividing it by 12000.
- You can determine the ideal size or tonnage of your Industrial Air Chiller by oversizing it by 20%.
The ideal size of an Industrial Air Chiller will be the product of tons and 1.2.
How to Calculate the Cooling Capacity of an Industrial Air Chiller?
The cooling capacity of an Industrial Air Chiller can be defined as the unit’s capability to withdraw heat from your industrial plant. Its S.I unit is watt but is usually measured in BTU per unit hour.
To measure the cooling capacity of an Industrial Air Chiller, you need to determine the following parameters.
- The temperature difference between the temperatures of inlet water (°C) and the required temperature of chilled water (ΔT°F)
- Calculate the flow rate of water per hour(m³/hour)
Finally, you can figure out the tons of cooling capacity by putting the value in the given formula.
Tons of cooling capacity = rate of water flow x Differential Temperature ÷ 0.86 ÷ 3.517

What Types of Compressors can be Installed in an Industrial Air Chiller?
The Industrial Air Chiller varies based on the type of compressors used. There are four significant types of compressor used in it.
Centrifugal Compressor
The centrifugal compressor uses centrifugal force to compress the refrigerant. It moves at a very high speed.
It propels the refrigerant through a rotating impeller to compress it to a highly pressurized state. The kinetic energy is produced when the impeller spins the refrigerant very quickly.
Rotary or Screw Compressor
Rotary or screw compressor converts the refrigerant vapors from low to high pressure using two screws and the male and female rotors.
These rotors rotate in the opposite direction, and the air is drawn in between them. These rotors entrap and compress the refrigerant in a compressor casing.
Scroll Compressor
The scroll compressor contains two scrolls; a fixed and a moving scroll. The fixed scroll usually stays attached to the compressor. At the same time, the moving scroll tracks the path of the fixed scroll.
Between these two scrolls, the refrigerant is slowly pushed to the center and consequently reduces the volume of the refrigerant.
Industrial Air Chiller Scroll Compressor
Reciprocating Compressor
The reciprocating compressor is further classified into hermetic compressors and open compressors.
It contains pistons and a cylinder. Electric motors and combustion engines drive this compressor to provide gases at high pressure.
When the piston moves downward, the refrigerants draw into the cylinder. And as the piston reverses its direction, moving upwards, compresses the refrigerant and directs it towards the condenser.
How to Adjust Different Parameters in your Industrial Air Chiller?
When the Industrial Air Chiller starts up, it is set to default. You can customize different parameters from factory settings.
The modern Industrial Air Chiller has a temperature controller that automatically adjusts its temperature according to the temperature of the industrial area to meet its cooling requirements.
The selected constant temperature control mode is set at a water temperature of 25°.
It possesses thermostat indicators (D1 and D2). D1 operates in intelligent control mode when it is turned ON. It switches to temperature control mode when it turns OFF.
D2, when turned ON, works in refrigerating state while shifts to the insulation working state when switched OFF. The unit operates in the energy-saving state when D2 flashes.
Various alarms occur in case of any error or malfunctioning. The error code and the temperature will be displayed when an alarm occurs.
The alarm display stays until the alarm condition is eliminated.
The water temperature will be automatically adjusted according to temperature changes under the Intelligent control mode.
What are the Common Problems of an Industrial Air Chiller?
An Industrial Air Chiller may endure some problems due to various possible reasons. A few of the most common issues are discussed below:
Start-Up Failure
In case if your Industrial Air Chiller fails to run normally, it may happen due to low refrigerant charge, incorrect unit configuration, or most possibly the unit is not getting power.
Insufficient Cooling
Sometimes, the unit does not produce enough cooling. There are multiple probable causes behind this, like leak refrigerant, high ambient temperature, or improper voltage.
It may also occur when the cooling fluid does not match the temperature conditions.
High-Pressure Alarm
Excessive refrigerant, the air in the system, or the expansion valve is extraordinarily narrow or damaged may cause a high-pressure alarm to buzz.
Water Leakage
Another most commonly faced problem is the water leakage somewhere in the system.
The leakage happens mostly in pumps when the seal there is not correctly connected or damaged due to some cause. The water leakage can also occur from the ball valve and shunt.
Industrial Air Chiller Water Leakage Inspection
Insufficient Fluid Flow
Reduced pumping or insufficient flow of fluid happens primarily due to several reasons.
Some of these are inadequate fluid in the reservoir, failure of the pump, blocked fuel filter, improper voltage, partially or even fully closed valves, or sometimes when the fluid restricts in the pipelines.
Condensed Water
The serious problem of condensate water may happen when the water’s temperature is much lower than the ambient temperature with a high rate of moisture.
How to Troubleshoot the Common Problems of your Industrial Air Chiller?
Once if you have analyzed the cause of the problem, you can troubleshoot the common problems of your Industrial Air Chiller.
Some of the feasible ways of fixing the problems are as given:

Malfunctioning of Compressor
In case if the refrigeration compressor is not working correctly or not running at all, check the electric cabling and analyze the display for any relevant information.
You will have to replace the compressor if it does not start working at last.
Nonfunctional Compressor Fan
If the compressor fan is not working, check the electric cabling. If the power contactor of the fan is defective, you will need to replace it. The loss of refrigerant gas may also cause the problem.
Low Condensation Pressure
There are several reasons behind the falling of condensation pressure. You need to analyze the cause and respond accordingly.
There might be an improper function of condenser fans; ensure their proper operation.
Establish the normal conditions if the ambient temperature or cooling water temperature goes too low. Fix the issue of the refrigerant leak if found any.
