Food and Beverage Processing Chiller Semi-Hermetic Scroll Compressor
How Does a Food and Beverage Processing Chiller Work?
A Food and Beverage Processing Chiller is equipped with food-grade components for operating its reliable operation. Its working steps are given below:
Step 1
The scroll or reciprocating compressor is integrated to receive low pressured and evaporated refrigerant. The suction valves of the compressor suck the refrigerant and pull it towards rotating scrolls for compression.
Step 2
The rotating scrolls put compression force and transfer it towards the discharge valve. The evaporated refrigerant leaves the discharge valve under high temperature and pressure and enters into the condenser.
Step 3
Air-cooled condensers are pleated with fresh air supply over condenser coils. When the refrigerant enters in condenser coils, heat is dissipated out either air or water circulating over.
Ultimately the hot air spreads around, while the hot water flows back to the cooling tower for rejecting heat and recirculation.
Step 4
The chilled and condensed refrigerant enters an electronic expansion that expands it to release pressure. The refrigerant with low pressure assures absorption of heat with high capacity.
Step 5
The refrigerant enters in the heat exchanger to recover the cooling of the coolant. The glycol or water is used as a coolant that flows in shell and tube-type evaporator tubing.
The refrigerant absorbs heat from the coolant and gets converted again in a gaseous phase.
Step 6
While the chilled coolant leaves the evaporator and enters in processing unit, it flows in the cooling jacket of wort to collect heat.
When the temperature of the wort or fermentation process comes to normal, the coolant flows back to the heat exchanger.
Step 7
Coolant transfers heat either to heat exchanger/ refrigeration cycle. The whole cycle is repeated again for process continuation under the cooling effect.

Both work independently, causing fluency in operation instead of any interruption. Hence in this way, the redundancy increase.
Electrical Isolation
Electrical connections are kept separately so that they may not cause a hindrance in the overall operation.
Any error in a separate connection can be sorted out quickly without affecting unit operation. So redundancy also increases in this way.
Auto-Changeover Pumps
The pumps integrated with auto-changeover also increase the redundancy. The auto change over controls the standard flow rate.
If there were any changes in flow rate, it would be altered or changed with the set point.
How is Water System Different from Glycol System of a Food and Beverage Processing Chiller?
The water chilling system is different from the glycol chilling system of Food and Beverage Processing Chiller are given below:
Glycol Chilling System
When glycol is installed as a coolant for producing a chilling effect in the respective system, it is called the glycol chilling system.
Propylene glycol is preferably used to deal with food processing. Propylene glycol is used separately or by mixing with water.
It collects all of the extra heat produced in the fermentation process and discards it in the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger has refrigerant circulation for absorbing heat from the coolant.
Glycol chilling system also protects the tubing of the heat exchanger from rusting and freezing effect. It is an anti-freezing agent suitable for a cold environment.
Water Chilling System
When water is used to collect heat from the system instead of glycol, the unit will be called a water chilling system.
Chilled water enters food processing machines and circulates over vessels for heat discharge. Water is used mainly for applications with low or moderate temperatures.
When the system’s temperature reaches the average set point, the water moves back towards the heat exchanger to discard heat.
How is Food Texture Maintained by Food and Beverage Processing Chiller in the Food Industry?
