What Should We Think About Before Purchasing a Process Chiller?

The process chiller is a piece of critical manufacturing equipment that removes excess heat, which can cause product quality contamination and production downtime. Some manufacturing processes or applications tend to generate plenty of heat in the equipment, including those involved in printing, plastics, food and beverage, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. The chiller uses and re-circulates the in-house water supply to decrease water consumption, reduce cooling water costs, and eliminate the need to access the municipal wastewater discharge and water supply system.                      

There may be many options in process chillers today, making it challenging to pick the right product. However, thinking of these factors can encourage smarter purchasing decisions.

 ·         Size and versatility

Consider a process chiller with a compact design, so it does not take up much space in your facility. Moreover, ensure it is versatile for a range of process cooling tasks. Some of the best process chillers come with multiple configuration options, making them flexible for many operations, including small- and medium-scale process cooling.

·         Configurations

Process chillers with many configurations can meet more process cooling requirements and applications. Here are some of the things you can consider:

·       Food-grade or medical-grade water parts for beverage and food processing or the pharmaceutical industry

·       Complete stainless steel water parts for purified or deionized water, suitable for high-precision equipment

·       Larger volume and higher-pressure chilled water pump for high-speed plastic machines like injection and blowing machinery

·       Dual-chilled water circuits for large outlet and inlet temperature difference application

·       Corrosion-resistant water parts to withstand acid fluids for surface treatments like plating and anodizing

·         Other features

Check the cooling capacity range of the process chiller and ensure it is within 1KW to 203.8KW, whether water-cooled or air-cooled.

 ·         Consult with the manufacturer

Reputable process chiller manufacturers have a qualified engineering team to help you choose the best product based on your unique needs. The right chiller ensures a longer service life and better performance, so don’t hesitate to share your process with the manufacturer’s in-house specialists for tailored advice.
