Industrial Liquid Chillers: A Brief Explanation

The best way to ensure that your temperature is controlled in an industrial environment is to purchase and install an industrial liquid chiller. In this article, we will explain why this is the case.

What is an Industrial Water Chiller?

An industrial liquid chiller is a device that extracts heat from one area and deposits it in another area. The area that the air is extracted from is typically from a piece of machinery and the air is usually deposited or moved to the outside of the industrial building.

There are many industries and applications that make use of industrial water chillers, including, but not limited to:

Food and beverage industry
Tool and die-cutting industry
Lasers
Machine tools
Injection moulding

The Working Principles of Industrial Liquid Chillers

Liquid chillers typically make use of water or a water and glycol solution. The fluid used is the conductor of heat. It also requires a pumping system to circulate the fluid from the process that heat is being extracted from to the chiller.

A refrigerant is a chemical compound that is used to make the cooling process possible. It does this by heating and cooling the refrigerant in what is known as a refrigerant cycle. Moving the compound from a low-pressure liquid compound to a high-pressured gas compound and back again.
