What is a water cooled screw chiller?
A water cooled screw chiller is an industrial cooling system that uses a screw compressor and water cooled condenser to remove heat from process water. It provides efficient and reliable cooling for manufacturing, process industries, HVAC systems, and large-scale industrial applications requiring continuous operation.
How does a water cooled screw chiller work?
A water cooled screw chiller works by compressing refrigerant through a helical screw compressor. The refrigerant releases heat through a water cooled condenser, passes through an expansion device, and absorbs heat from the process water in the evaporator. The chilled water is then circulated to the application while the cycle repeats continuously.
What is the difference between a water cooled and air-cooled screw chiller?
A water cooled screw chiller uses condenser water and a cooling tower to reject heat, whereas an air-cooled screw chiller uses ambient air. water cooled systems generally offer higher energy efficiency and lower operating costs for large-capacity applications, while air-cooled chillers are easier to install and require less infrastructure.
What industries use water cooled screw chillers?
water cooled screw chillers are widely used in plastics processing, pharmaceutical manufacturing, food and beverage plants, dairy processing, chemical industries, breweries, HVAC systems, textile manufacturing, and other industrial process cooling applications that require stable temperature control.
What temperature range can a water cooled screw chiller achieve?
Airtech water cooled screw chillers are designed to operate across a temperature range from +12°C to −40°C, making them suitable for standard process cooling as well as low-temperature and sub-zero industrial applications.
What refrigerants are used in Airtech water cooled screw chillers?
Airtech water cooled screw chillers can be configured with R-404A, R-407C, R-410A, and R-134A refrigerants based on the application requirements, cooling capacity, operating temperature, and environmental considerations.
Does a water cooled screw chiller require a cooling tower?
Yes. A water cooled screw chiller typically requires a cooling tower and condenser water circulation system to remove heat from the refrigerant. This arrangement improves heat rejection efficiency and reduces operating costs in large industrial cooling installations.
What is a water cooled screw chiller with VFD?
A water cooled screw chiller with VFD (Variable Frequency Drive) uses intelligent speed control to adjust compressor performance according to cooling demand. This helps reduce power consumption, improve part-load efficiency, and extend equipment life while maintaining precise temperature control.
