Industrial water chillers are a crucial component in the operation of many industrial sites. The primary purpose of a water chiller is to cool and maintain the temperature of industrial processes, such as manufacturing, chemical production, pharmaceuticals, printing, food processing and much more. Without a proper cooling system in place, these processes can be dangerous or even irreversible.
A chiller works by pumping chilled water through pipes to its required location. This cold water is then used to absorb heat from the atmosphere surrounding it and dissipate it via an evaporator coil located within the system. This process helps to maintain cooler temperatures throughout the facility while reducing energy consumption and improving efficiency levels. The chillers typically run off electricity or steam; however some may use natural gas as their source of power.
The size and type of industrial chiller needed will vary depending on several factors such as size of facility being cooled, type of process involved and amount/rate at which heat must be removed from each area. It’s important that businesses understand their needs prior to purchasing so they can make sure they get an adequate unit for their specific requirements.
