Chiller / Snotec

The applications for industrial chillers have a wide range. Pharmaceuticals, food production, petrochemicals, plastic production, metal plating and agriculture are some of the industries that benefit from having industrial chillers for their many manufacturing processes.

Types of Chillers

Air-cooled chillers use ambient air to cool the refrigerant to help keep an industrial process running. Air-cooled chillers are stand-alone units and do not require any additional equipment to function.

Industrial water-cooled chillers use water in the chilling process. They have a separate cooling tower to remove heat from the refrigerant. Water-cooled units often take up less space than air-cooled units, even with the tower, but require access to a continual water source.

Spec-Features

Reciprocating Chiller:- Multiple pistons, a crankshaft is turned by an electric motor, the pistons compress the gas.

Scroll Chiller:- A set of interlocking scrolls inside the compressor pressurizes the refrigerant in a scroll chiller. Like screw chillers, scroll coolers may be air-cooled or water-cooled. Industrial applications of scroll chillers include everything from drinking fountain coolers to cutting with water jets or lasers. Scroll chillers have capacities even smaller than screw chillers, for cooling of a single piece of equipment.

Screw Chiller:- Screw chillers come in water-cooled and air-cooled varieties. These use the movement and force of one or two screws to compress the refrigerant inside.Screw chillers come in capacities of 30 to 400+ tons.
