Freeze Tech : Introduction To Industrial Portable Chillers

In industrial terminology, chillers are machinery used to remove or absorb heat from a liquid via a vapor compression cycle. It is pumped through the equipment in use for the process, to control the cooling of the products and machinery involved in the process. A wide variety of industries need to use these cooling chillers for the purpose of maintaining a regular cooling through the process that generate a lot of heat in the machinery and the surroundings.

There is quite a variety of industrial chillers that are used to serve the purpose. For industrial application a chiller can be a centralized chiller or a decentralized one. A centralized chiller is capable of fulfilling multiple cooling needs, whereas a decentralized chiller, as the name suggests, has a separate chiller for each application or machinery. Some of the popular water chiller alternatives are : water cooled chillers, air cooled chillers and evaporatively cooled chillers. Certain types of extrusion process use chill roll or air cooling chillers.

Plastic extrusion industry is one of the major industries that use water chillers. The main uses of a water chiller or any other form of liquid chiller in the plastic extrusion process are injection &blow molding, welding equipment, die casting, machine tooling, etc. During plastic extrusion, plastic is heated, melted and then extruded through the die. The purpose of using cooling chillers here is the quick solidification of the freeze tech profile shapes and designs.

Two of the frequently used industrial chillers used for cooling requirements in plastic extrusion are centralized water chillers and portable chillers. In this article we take up portable chillers and their efficacy as industrial chillers.

Industrial Portable Chiller

An industrial portable chiller is a cooling system that removes heat from one element and deposits it into the other. It can be used cool the process as well as the process machinery. It consists of complete unit of compressor, evaporator, condenser, process pump and a coolant reservoir. The standard chiller design is a system that will cool water to 45° F and water/glycol to 20° F and then deposit the heat into the ambient air at 95° F or water at 85° F. It is available with both air and water condensing coolers, single and twin model compressors and configurations as per demand for special requirements like low temperatures, hazardous atmosphere and some special applications.

In the plastics industry, a portable chiller is used to cool the hot plastic that is injected, blown, and extruded. It also cools down the extrusion equipment used in creation of plastic products, thus saving on machinery and machinery wear and tear. They are safer for use than centralized chiller; in case a particular part goes kaput, you do not suffer a complete cooling shut down. But it also has a drawback, that its process water flow is limited to 2.4gpm/ton, restricting its range of applications. Things to consider before buying an industrial portable chiller are a complete familiarity with the type of plastic extrusion process being used and the extrusion equipment, to be accurately gauge the pump size and tank size required for cooling.

Freeze tech equipments announces development of new Process Cooling Chiller systems

Freeze Tech Equipments offers a wide range of products that are unique and designed to handle any cooling problem.

Freeze Tech Air Conditioners, a sector business of Freeze Tech Industrial Investment Company “Freeze Tech Equipments” and the leading national manufacturer and service provider of oil coolers, chillers & air conditioning systems in India, recently announced the development of its line of Process Cooling Chiller Systems. The specialty chillers are designed to meet a wide range of customer needs with cooling capacities ranging from 10 to 1,000 tons.

Process cooling systems are essential to the functions of various industries and facilities. They cool or extract heat from a fluid required for a process, maintain desired temperatures during a process, or cool a piece of equipment or its components. Process cooling systems must be designed and constructed to withstand the rigors of year-round performance over a wider range of operating conditions than other systems, and reliability, redundancy and flexibility must remain a top priority.

Common process cooling applications include: plastics, chemical, medical, data centers, food processing, concrete batching plants, and most importantly Emergency Personnel Drenching Facilities (Shower & Eye Wash stations). These applications often require specially designed Process Cooling Chillers. In addition, the operational efficiency and production level of such plants are significantly tied to the quality and reliability of their process chillers.

“Successful process cooling for all customers is our ultimate goal. Because we are the unique local producer of these essential and complicated systems, we strive to provide the cost effective, robust designs that assure maximum up-time, as well as the professional services and low cost operation our customers need to operate at the highest level of efficiency and profitability,” said Derek D Cruz, Chiller Product Unit Head at Freeze Tech Equipments.

Freeze Tech Air Conditioners process cooling systems are designed to handle precision process cooling situations that require more demanding thermal and mechanical performance, more sophisticated control systems and higher expectations for reliability, flexibility and lower operating costs. The first group of new process cooling chiller systems has already been manufactured and delivered. They are currently in use at project sites operated by some of the region’s top companies and industrial organizations.
