Frequently Asked Questions
Common Chiller Information
Q1What is a chiller?
A1
A chiller is a device that maintains water at a constant temperature.
It is used to cool or control the temperature of heat generated by industrial machinery, medical equipment, laboratory instruments, and processing machines.
Q2What is the difference between water-cooled and Air-cooled chillers?
A2
The difference lies in the cooling method.
Water-cooled chillers require an external source of cooling water.
Air-cooled chillers use ambient air for cooling, so a cooling tower or factory water supply is not necessary.
Q3What are the key points to consider when selecting a chiller?
A3
Selection is based on factors such as cooling capacity (kW), installation location, operating temperature range, noise, and other site conditions.
Read MoreQ4How often is maintenance required?
A4
Inspections are typically conducted once or twice a year.
For Air-cooled chillers, filter cleaning is also necessary.
Chillers equipped with compressors of 7.5kW or higher are required by law to undergo an annual inspection performed by a qualified technician.
Q5What type of circulating water should be used?
A5
Depending on the temperature range, use tap water, purified water, or fluorinated inert fluids.
Water-Cooled Chiller
Q6What types of equipment and environments are suitable for Water-cooled chillers?
A6
They are ideal for precision equipment that requires a constant temperature environment, as well as for large-scale production lines where high cooling capacity is essential and factory circulating water is available.
Q7Is a cooling tower required?
A7
Yes. Equipment such as a cooling tower or a factory circulating water system is necessary for cooling.
Air-Cooled Chillers
Q8What types of equipment and environments are suitable for Air-cooled chillers?
A8
They are mainly used for laboratory instruments, measuring equipment, and medical devices.
Because installation is relatively simple, they are suitable for small-scale facilities or outdoor installations.
Q9Is any special equipment required for installing an Air-cooled chiller?
A9
No. Since the condenser is cooled by ambient air, we recommend installing it in a well-ventilated location that is less affected by exhaust heat from other equipment.
Q10Is noise control necessary for Air-cooled chillers?
A10
Depending on the installation environment, noise reduction measures may be required.
We propose using soundproof hoods and vibration-damping materials to minimize noise levels.
Q11Can Air-cooled chillers be installed in cold regions?
A11
In general, antifreeze is added to the circulating water to prevent freezing.
Our company also offers split-type chillers, which eliminate the risk of freezing and ensure safe and reliable operation in cold climates.
