Scroll Chiller-An Ultimate FAQ Guide by TopChiller.

What is a Scroll Chiller?

A Scroll Chiller is a cooling device that helps remove excess heat accumulated in the industries and maintains the temperature within optimized ranges.

A refrigerant passes by all the components that drive the whole refrigeration cycle. The Scroll Chiller is named after the scroll compressor used as a significant component. Other principal parts are a condenser, evaporator, and expansion valve.

The chilled water and the refrigerant circulate and help dissipate excess heat. It uses water or air as a medium by which heat is released to the outer atmosphere through a cooling tower or fans.

It is used in many industries, out of which plastic manufacturing, laser, semiconductors, injection molding, food processing, welding, chemical and pharmaceutical industries, and plasma cutting are the most prominent ones.

What are the Leading Components of a Scroll Chiller?

The Scroll Chiller contains many components but the leading components through which the vapor compression cycle drives are the following:

Evaporator

The evaporator is a heat exchanger in which the liquid refrigerant absorbs heat from the processed water and evaporates (converts into a gaseous state). The refrigerant then directs towards the compressor.

Compressor

The compressor in the Scroll Chiller is a scroll compressor that is the driving force of the refrigeration cycle.

It is a refrigerant gas pump that increases the temperature and pressure of the refrigerant and passes it to the condenser.

Condenser

The condenser is meant for the compression of the refrigerant. The compressor’s highly pressurized superheated refrigerant vapors release heat in the condenser and get converted into liquid.

Tank

The tank is the reservoir in the condenser that stores the refrigerant until the condenser condenses the refrigerant.

It is used to adjust and store the refrigerant. It acts as a container to increase the cooling efficiency of the condenser by increasing its cooling area.

Dry Filter

The dry filter is essential to prevent moisture and dirt particles (such as iron, oil, copper scrap) from entering the refrigeration cycle.

Thermal Expansion Valve

The expansion valve is the flow regulating valve that regulates the flow of the refrigerant as it leaves the condenser.

How Does a Scroll Chiller Work?

The Scroll Chiller is based on the vapor compression principle by which the refrigerant circulates in the cycle and interchanges its state from gas to liquid and liquid to gas.

The cycle starts with a compressor, a core component of the entire refrigeration system responsible for compressing refrigerant vapors.

The less pressurized refrigerant gas with low temperature gets converted into highly pressurized, superheated gas in the compressor.

The refrigerant vapors then pass to the condenser under warmer and pressurized conditions. The condenser condenses the refrigerant and converts it into a liquid state

.

The refrigerant releases its heat into the condenser pipes, passing it into the reservoir. The heat leaves the system through air or water mediums.

When leaving the condenser, the refrigerant has cooled down into the liquid.

Next is the thermal expansion valve that controls refrigerant flow entering the evaporator and decreases its pressure to some extent.

The evaporator is the heat exchanger where the processed water and the refrigerant come into contact.

The processed water passes all its heat to the refrigerant, causing it to heat up. It ultimately gets boiled, and the refrigerant vapors shift towards the compressor.

Here the cycle completes, and the refrigerant is ready to proceed in the next cycle.

What are the Types of a Scroll Chiller?

The Scroll Chiller can be of two types:

The working principle of both these types is nearly the same; both have a scroll condenser by which they compress the refrigerant with efficiency.

However, the primary difference is the condensing medium by which heat is dissipated to the outer environment.

Air Cooled Scroll Chiller

Air cooled scroll chiller uses air to remove excess heat from the exhaust fans system. It is appropriate for applications that encounter harsh climate conditions.

It is a self-contained system for which no additional exterior components are required. It is much convenient to maintain and install.

However, it is not much efficient as the scroll water cooled chiller.

Water Cooled Scroll Chiller
